Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted December 4, 2017 Popular Post Share #1 Posted December 4, 2017 244 in boxers this morning. Sub 250 fully clothed. Was up over 260. Hoping for 230 by next checkup on 01/25/2018. A bit more active but primarily really cutting out the between meal and evening snacks. I think 225 will be my goal and then we will see from there. I could not image 200 or sub 200, as even in my high school football days and college days, I was over 200 with a 32 to 34 inch waist. Between a 38 and 40 right now. 40s will not stay up without a belt. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted December 4, 2017 Share #3 Posted December 4, 2017 Any pound off is great, congrats! I too was around 250, I think I'm shorter than you. I never imagined I'd be under 200 again. This year I have worked hard to make sure I did not go back over 200. I bounced between 190 and 198. My goal now is 175. Don't say things like "I could not imagine...", it will set you up for failure. Instead think, I will weigh xxx by xx/xx/xxxx, how will I get there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted December 4, 2017 Share #6 Posted December 4, 2017 What wheels said. A target gives you something to aim for. My original goal was "wedding weight" as I Was 24 when I got married, then when I passed that I looked at "Training Grad Weight". If you don't have a goal, it can be too easy to accept where you are. Good for you. I, like you, found snacking and evening food choices were my downfall. Keep it up and you'll be biking up Everest beside the Great Square One before you know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 250, the coat and tie look sharp. 225 with a linebacker's build - muscle not fat - seems pretty realistic and reasonable. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted December 4, 2017 Share #14 Posted December 4, 2017 Well, Mr. Hanks, it isn't easy to drop weight, it is commendable that you are all after it like this. How are you doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you doing it? I am not eating a shit ton of shit after dinner. I am trying to watch portions at lunch and breakfast, make better choices and be a bit more active. Stress and genetics are going to kill me if I don't do something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all goes to hell if I get super hungry or tired or there are treats within easy reach, then I get into the overeat, then sleep like crap from reflux cycle.
