Have not posted in a while,but I've been bouncineg between 167 and 173 for about a month now. I think I'll call this one acomplished. I can be happy around 170. Just have to keep it this way.

Hey Steve....good to hear from you again. Hope all is well. We'll have to have breakfast again sometime in the coming months when it's too cold to go fish.

Too cold to fish? :-k Don't you just cut a hole in the ice and catch fish that way?

Nope....when there's ice....I'm with the bears hibernating!

1/3 - 255.2 - no push-up number recorded
1/10 - 257.2 - 13 push-ups
1/17 - 255.6 - 17 push-ups
1/24 - 254.2 - 20 push-ups.
1/31 - 253.6 - no push-ups recorded
2/7 - 254 - 21 push-ups.
2/14 - 251.8 - I recorded 12 push-ups last night; I did a pretty intense weight training session on Wednesday night, so last night my muscles sore and I didn't want to push numbers and risk injury.
2/21 - 250.0 - push-ups = 17.
2/28 - 249.8
3/7 - 246.6 -
3/14 - 250.4 -
3/21 - 251.4 - I've also shifted my push-up focus to form first, then numbers. I've been doing 15-20 in the best form I can instead of trying to just push numbers.
4/4 - 249.2
4/11 - 250.0 - Pretty much just living in this range apparently.
4/18 - 248.8
4/25 - 249.8
5/2 - 247.4
5/9 - 249
5/16 - 246.8
5/23 - 246.2
5/30 - 245.4
6/6 - 241.4
6/13 - 241.8 -
6/20 - 237.8
6/27 - 238 - My push-up counts are in the 30s. I'm excited that I've taken the weight drop that I have in the past month and especially since now my 4 week rolling average is under 240.
7/4 - 236.4 - I recorded the weight on Friday even though I didn't post it.
7/11 - 236 - Still stable in this range.
7/18 - 233 - I've shifted my strength goal a bit since I'm having success with weight loss. For the first half of the year, I've worked on endurance training of muscles, now I'm shifting to 1/3 strength focused then 2/3 endurance.
7/25 - 234.6 - Up a bit from last week, but still down overall. I think I've hit another plateau in loss right now, but at the very least the average is still down.
8/1 - 232 - I'll take 4 straight weeks at 236 or less. I'm only 2 pounds away from my short term goal of 230
8/8 - 232.8 - Still below the rolling 4 week average. I have to admit that I'm pretty astonished overall at the progress I've made in the past 3 months; in 3 months I'm down about 17 pounds. I feel better, I look better, and I'm now officially just a L-XL in sizes...I don't remember any point in my life where I owned a size L shirt until recently. I'd still really like to hit 230 by 8/31 since that would officially mark 60 pounds lost in 2 years, but I realize that short term goals sometimes lose /sight of the bigger picture.
8/15 - 231.2
8/22 - 230.4 - I'm very close to my 230 goal. Year over year, I'm down 35 pounds and year to date I'm down 25.2 pounds (10%).
8/29 - 230 on the dot. I have to admit that was a little bit disappointed since earlier in the week I was in the upper 220s, but I'm psyched to have hit this number on an official weigh in. On 8/31/12 I was 290 and in lousy shape; on 8/30/13 I was 264.6 and recovering from a serious back injury. This year at 230, I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm in the best shape I have ever been in and the lowest weight I've been at as an adult. Now that I've hit the short term on the 230, it's time to re-focus myself and aim to the year-end goal of 220 (or lower).
9/5 - 228.6 - I'm committed to September being a month of renewed ambition! I'm going to get in some sort of workout every day this month - whether it's hiking, working at the gym, golfing, etc, I WILL get a workout in every day this month. I'm also making a pledge to stick entirely to the paleo diet my wife and I were kind of doing last month.
9/12 - 227.8 - It's been a tough week, but still making progress. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of when I started working out at the gym.
9/19 - 225 - I told my trainer that I wanted to work hard to hit that push-up goal by the end of the year and he has me doing a lot of hateful exercises aimed at upping my stamina for this specific goal.
9/26 - 222.6 - Almost at my year end goal already. When I hit that 220 mark, I'm not sure if I'll adjust the amount to a lower number or if I'll try to maintain (since the holidays are on the way and typically a tough spot for me to maintain, let alone lose).
10/3 - 222 - Small progress is still progress.
10/10 - 222.6 - I actually had surgery on this day and that's why I didn't end up posting any numbers. I had to have a pretty significant mass removed from my left shoulder blade and will be on the shelf for a week or two. This will also have a pretty negative impact on my push up goal for the year.
10/17 - 222.4 - A slight loss from last week, but happy to be keeping it even since I'm not cleared for exercise by the doctors just yet.

10/24 - 222.2 - Dancing near the edge of my goal, I expect that when I do get back to working out, I'll hit my number.[/quote]

10/31 - 223.8 - I know I was bad and drank a few too many beers and ate some junk over the past week. Next week probably is going to suffer too as I'm about to take a cross country road trip through Wisconsin...and those folks know how to make some cheese...and custard...
 
Purposely, I did not weigh in this week. I still feel good and outside of a few additional pieces of Halloween candy that I've stolen I think I'm still in line. I'm just getting tired of the scale.

Maybe I'll be tempted next week. We'll see.

11/05/14 - 327.8 OUCH! I'm starting to think my scales are jacked up. I know I had some, Ok, too much candy but there's no way I should've gained 5 lbs. Very disappointed in me & my scales. I WILL be back on track next week.
 
Very disappointed in me & my scales.

RStewart.....I've dumped my scales for a couple weeks at least. Got tired of not trusting them. I'll check back with them in a few weeks but I still feel good and my belt agrees.....so far. [-o<
 
Fender, I understand that. I'm starting to think my scales are jacked. Idk.

Throw them scales out guys, they are misleading and dont tell the whole story. Trust in how your clothes fit and learn how the food your eating effects your weight. Example: carbs hold water, I cut 8lbs for a 5k im doing in less than a week just cutting unnecessary carbs. If I trusted my scale this 8lb fluctuation would have drove me nuts!!!

11/7 - 226.2 - :shock: More than anything, I think that this number came from a weight fluctuation and eating too much dairy while not being active enough during our road trip.

11/14 - 220.6 - This is my evidence of last week's number being an outlier. I worked out hard and pushed myself to try and whip my body back into shape. My shoulder is feeling just fine post operation.

Way to go GRAND!.....You're doing AWESOME!

too bad it's a really bad time of year to maintain. I'm already in my "paranoid of food" mode and fighting it too!

2/7 - 254 - 21 push-ups.
2/14 - 251.8 - I recorded 12 push-ups last night; I did a pretty intense weight training session on Wednesday night, so last night my muscles sore and I didn't want to push numbers and risk injury.
2/21 - 250.0 - push-ups = 17.
2/28 - 249.8
3/7 - 246.6 -
3/14 - 250.4 -
3/21 - 251.4 - I've also shifted my push-up focus to form first, then numbers. I've been doing 15-20 in the best form I can instead of trying to just push numbers.
4/4 - 249.2
4/11 - 250.0 - Pretty much just living in this range apparently.
4/18 - 248.8
4/25 - 249.8
5/2 - 247.4
5/9 - 249
5/16 - 246.8
5/23 - 246.2
5/30 - 245.4
6/6 - 241.4
6/13 - 241.8 -
6/20 - 237.8
6/27 - 238 - My push-up counts are in the 30s. I'm excited that I've taken the weight drop that I have in the past month and especially since now my 4 week rolling average is under 240.
7/4 - 236.4 - I recorded the weight on Friday even though I didn't post it.
7/11 - 236 - Still stable in this range.
7/18 - 233 - I've shifted my strength goal a bit since I'm having success with weight loss. For the first half of the year, I've worked on endurance training of muscles, now I'm shifting to 1/3 strength focused then 2/3 endurance.
7/25 - 234.6 - Up a bit from last week, but still down overall. I think I've hit another plateau in loss right now, but at the very least the average is still down.
8/1 - 232 - I'll take 4 straight weeks at 236 or less. I'm only 2 pounds away from my short term goal of 230
8/8 - 232.8 - Still below the rolling 4 week average. I have to admit that I'm pretty astonished overall at the progress I've made in the past 3 months; in 3 months I'm down about 17 pounds. I feel better, I look better, and I'm now officially just a L-XL in sizes...I don't remember any point in my life where I owned a size L shirt until recently. I'd still really like to hit 230 by 8/31 since that would officially mark 60 pounds lost in 2 years, but I realize that short term goals sometimes lose /sight of the bigger picture.
8/15 - 231.2
8/22 - 230.4 - I'm very close to my 230 goal. Year over year, I'm down 35 pounds and year to date I'm down 25.2 pounds (10%).[/quote]
8/29 - 230 on the dot. I have to admit that was a little bit disappointed since earlier in the week I was in the upper 220s, but I'm psyched to have hit this number on an official weigh in. On 8/31/12 I was 290 and in lousy shape; on 8/30/13 I was 264.6 and recovering from a serious back injury. This year at 230, I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm in the best shape I have ever been in and the lowest weight I've been at as an adult. Now that I've hit the short term on the 230, it's time to re-focus myself and aim to the year-end goal of 220 (or lower).
9/5 - 228.6 - I'm committed to September being a month of renewed ambition! I'm going to get in some sort of workout every day this month - whether it's hiking, working at the gym, golfing, etc, I WILL get a workout in every day this month. I'm also making a pledge to stick entirely to the paleo diet my wife and I were kind of doing last month.
9/12 - 227.8 - It's been a tough week, but still making progress. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of when I started working out at the gym.
9/19 - 225 - I told my trainer that I wanted to work hard to hit that push-up goal by the end of the year and he has me doing a lot of hateful exercises aimed at upping my stamina for this specific goal.
9/26 - 222.6 - Almost at my year end goal already. When I hit that 220 mark, I'm not sure if I'll adjust the amount to a lower number or if I'll try to maintain (since the holidays are on the way and typically a tough spot for me to maintain, let alone lose).
10/3 - 222 - Small progress is still progress.
10/10 - 222.6 - I actually had surgery on this day and that's why I didn't end up posting any numbers. I had to have a pretty significant mass removed from my left shoulder blade and will be on the shelf for a week or two. This will also have a pretty negative impact on my push up goal for the year.
10/17 - 222.4 - A slight loss from last week, but happy to be keeping it even since I'm not cleared for exercise by the doctors just yet.
10/24 - 222.2 - Dancing near the edge of my goal, I expect that when I do get back to working out, I'll hit my number.
10/31 - 223.8 - I know I was bad and drank a few too many beers and ate some junk over the past week. Next week probably is going to suffer too as I'm about to take a cross country road trip through Wisconsin...and those folks know how to make some cheese...and custard...
11/7 - 226.2 - :shock: More than anything, I think that this number came from a weight fluctuation and eating too much dairy while not being active enough during our road trip.
11/14 - 220.6 - This is my evidence of last week's number being an outlier. I worked out hard and pushed myself to try and whip my body back into shape. My shoulder is feeling just fine post operation.
11/21 - 218.4 - This is officially under my goal weight for the year! Now it's time to maintain it.

I haven't updated in a few weeks, but I have been keeping track of things.

11/28 - 223.8 - Thanksgiving was a festival of calorie dense foods and I had way too many of them, but I kept it to a short window of bad behavior
12/5 - 221.8 - A bit of a bounce back week
12/12 - 222 - My weigh numbers throughout the week were in this general area. I'd really like to get back below 220 again for the 12/26 weigh-in
 
I'm still in this although I haven't been practicing what I preach lately. I'm back up in weight again to 210 and not in a good place. Need to refocus TOTALLY. My stress of work will be over after next Tuesday and then I'm off work until Jan 5. I can REALLY use the break.

Good luck to you all during what I consider to be a very difficult and tempting time of year.

But, it's Christmastime and my weight is NOT what it's about. Peace to you all.
 
Hey guys, I'm still here. I want to say congrats to all of you for staying the course, regardless of whether you hit your goal or not. I just haven't been using the scales lately. I've been really frustrated most of the year because I lost all my weight in the first couple months. But in retrospect it's ok because I've been changing my diet for the long haul, not just to lose the weight. I don't want to lose it just to gain it back again. Been there done that. I'm getting a good grasp on being & eating healthy, not just losing weight. I do believe I will change up my diet with weight loss being the goal at the first of the year since I'm confident I can keep it off for good. My plan is to weigh in on the same day that I started this past year & see exactly what I've accomplished over the past year. I'm looking forward to carrying this forward through 2015. Let's keep it going!

Oh....I'm still in too. I haven't weighed myself today like I should, but I know I'm up probably 5-8lb from where I should be. It's a tough time of year but I don't need to tell you that.

Keep it up and we'll still get there.
 
I just want to tell you guys what a joy it has been to watch your progress, read your posts, and what a blessing you all have been to me. Whatever you weigh in at, keep in mind that if it is only one pound less, you have made an accomplishment. =D> Just know that someone out there has said a little prayer for each of you and wishes you the best.

2015 is going to bring good things and less weight! Looking forward to reading your posts!

Thanks again for sharing! :)

Happy New Year~
