Lost 12 lbs since Jan
At the end of January, I had ballooned up to a portly (for me) 209 LBS. I decided that I should be less fat for my general health and longevity.
This morning I weighed myself and marked in at 197. I did not do any crash diets or drastic measures. I just scaled my eating back to an appropriate amount calorie wise, made attempts to avoid salty and greasy foods, and excercised a bit more. That extra exercise is a 1 mile run 3x as fast as I can.
I am happy so I thought I would share it with my internet family.
I would also say I look better but that is a bit like putting a gold electroplate on a gold medal.

And about 8 or 9 (more?) of those pounds were gorgeous
It's not hard to quit smoking. I do it 20 times a day.

I lost about 15 pounds since January. I didn't want to and I need to get them back.
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Well, a few hours of the most intense exercise known to (wo)man...

By how? And how much do you weigh now?
Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it's right. Just because something is illegal, doesn't mean it's wrong.

Re: Lost 12 lbs since Jan
I now weigh 160. I lost it by reducing my caloric intake more than I reduced my exercising.

Re: Lost 12 lbs since Jan
I gained about 15. Strange, 'cause I gained/lost nothing at all through boot camp. It's about time I gained a bit of weight.
