Well carbs are pretty much the only thing that is keeping me from not puking all of the time & not bringing on puking.

Husband knocked me up a few months earlier than planned.

Carry on then. LOL

Jumping in the thread late, but I am in the middle of a weight loss competition.

1/11: 219.8 LB's
2/1: 205.4 LB's

Goal is to lose 40 by 3/31 (weigh out day) and then bulk back up to 190 (the right way) by my wedding on 4/30

---

3/18: 193 LB's

Two weeks left and not quite on pace for the competition but still right around the lead. Next week I'm probably doing the cabbage soup diet for one final push before our weigh out. I think its the most aggressive diet that I will actually stick to, but any other ideas are welcome!

After that back to eating right and recently introduced running/working out into the mix so that I can ramp it up once the competition is over. Running without 30+ extra pounds (I was 228 the last time I really tried to start running) is so much nicer on your body!

I'll join in... Started at 211 on Feb. 10... Goal is to get to 190 and maintain between there and 185.

Down to 238 this am.... good start

Getting close to the weigh out and getting down there:

3/29: 186 Lb's

Next couple of days will be a water cut for the weigh out, but then try to start adding good weight till 195ish or when I feel good!.

Brain surgery in the morning. I'll be a few ounces lighter when it's done.

I mean, I guess that's one way to do it! Really, good luck and best wishes.

Final Weigh In - 281.6 Lbs

Loss over 12 weeks - 38.2 Lbs. and 17.4%. Just under my original goal but pretty thrilled with the results (almost to a six pack!) and may still end up winning the work deal. Now time to put back on some good weight now that the beer baby is gone!

Been a while since I checked in.

I'm at 313.

Late to the party here but I'll join in.
After early visit to doctor this year he convinced me to make a serious life change.
Started seriously watching what I eat on Jan. 14th.
One week later started riding stationary bike 6 days a week. Up to 30 mins day now (avg. 6-7 miles) followed by a 1/2 mile walk cool down.
Jan 14 - 205
Feb 1 - 198
March 1 - 189
March 4 - 187
March 9 - 185

Goal of 180-182 by end of April

---

March 31 - 183
Cravings of different food have all but vanished, I even splurge a little on the weekends and it doesn't effect me.
Shooting for 178 for final goal then hope to maintain 178-183.
Can't believe how much better I feel and the energy I have now!

I think you mean 181.6.... But congrats!

They got the tumor out. I was in surgery at 5:30, out at 2:30 , then recovery, and then the private room at 6:30. I llost Hearing and balance in one ear and the right side of my face is kind of numb. Long day... Now I've got two IVs, a catheter, an inflatable cuff on each leg, a blood presssure cuff, and a huge compression bandage on my head. With all that said, I'm doing much better than I thought I would be.

My hearing was already bad but they felt they might be able to salvage some of it

Been praying for you. Glad it's over. Thanks for the update.

1/1 - 186

Mexico vacation and Easter weekend did me in this month. Goal is 198 by 4/30

I'm still hovering in the 181-184 range. Weighed myself Thursday before my trip this weekend and was at 181.5.
I think I'm going to go back to my chicken breast and vegetable diet that worked so well last year. It was extreme, but I think that's what it's going to take to shed these last 15# of fat or so.

1/1 223

Need to roll back cheat days and get to gym 4x per week

Goal 185 by 12/15

Started the year at 247, today I was 236.5. Goal is 220. I got off track a bit in March with Spring Break and Easter. Now back on the eat right and exercise plan!

anyone else have a small weight spike for 24-48 hours after a hard workout?

Holy crap, I've lost between 15 and 20 lbs since surgery. Plus I've got an awesome scar.

WHAT HAPPENED??!!!???

Benign brain tumor called an Acoustic Neuroma. I'm deaf in one ear now, but hey, I'm alive.

It still hurts to open my mouth too much, so I guess that limits the amount of food I can stuff in it.

May 2015 - 244
Current weight 225
