I stopped eating breakfast when I was 8 years old. In fact, if I eat within an hour or so after waking up I tend to feel sick to my stomach. Maybe all the years of no breakfast have conditioned that response? Who knows.

199.6 ho hum! ;)

bring on Independence Day weekend cookouts both Saturday and Sunday!

Making 25 hour working weeks now with some decent lifting and strength involved. I'm eating as much as my 280-300 pound friends. And I'm still looking like an anorexic Alex Turner.

I will be skinny some longer.

Rock, as a senior in high school (17 years old and 35 years ago) I wrestled at 138 pounds. Before the season began I weighed 150. I was skinny! (This is the first time in 20 years I have been below 200 pounds.)
When you are older it is so easy to add weight. I know your Dad is pretty slender too. Perhaps you will be slender your whole life. Just count it as a blessing. There are so many health problems associated with weight. Perhaps you will avoid them.
Add muscle if the weight doesn't come so what. I have known many young men that were very strong but didn't have a lot of weight.

I dropped about 5 or 6 pounds in the last 2 weeks because of the stress/moving thing. Weighed myself this morning, 192.
But this is NOT a healthy way to lose weight.

forgot about this thread til now. so i'm swimming every day with or without the boys. i'm also teaching them all the different swim strokes & racing them back & forth in the pool. don't know if i've lost anything yet but i know i feel alot better. i've got a decent tan going as a bonus. no sunburns yet which is amazing since i'm irish. anyway, keep up the good work guys - glad to hear the updates & successes!!

For anyone out there needing help, I've never told this website but I lost 120 lbs. once. If anyone needs any advice or any questions I'm a good person to turn to because of my experience. Just don't fall down my path: Loose the weight slowly. You don't want saggy skin.

We don't expect you to get on the scale and if you did we sure don't expect you to announce the results. :cyclopsani:

New check in for a few weeks. 199.6. (not bad for only being a 5 day week.)

My wife has to help her parents and is gone all week so we don't get time to a "real" dinner together like we use to on Monday evenings.

So for a while I will weigh in on Sunday mornings and that will give us a Sunday lunch or dinner.

198.8
I haven't decided what my new goal is. If I go with 185 it might be too much.
Most likely I will just go for 5 pounds at a time and see where I end up. So I am looking at 195 in a few weeks.
This weekend I decided to get up an hour earlier and go for a 2 hour walk. I enjoy the quiet. It is cooler at that time. Less people out. Less traffic. I have to watch out for my dog. He is 7 1/2 and not use to walking that far. I don't want to get him overheated or injured so we go nice and slow. I find him a few places to get a drink along the way. Yesterday we walked down to the river which is a couple of miles one way. While he loves to run and splash in puddles, I don't think he likes to be in THAT much water. He was pretty tentative and didn't stay in for very long. Maybe we will go back tomorrow morning.
