So, the fitbit is interesting.
I tend to pace when I lecture, basically I cannot stay in one place, as such, even with practice canceled on account of rain I am sitting at 24,000 steps. Wow.

Doing pretty well on my journey so far this year. Weighed in early in January at my all time high on 252. Didn't lose much in January, but started doing better in February and have continued into March. Down 13.5 lbs to 238.5 so far.
The biggest thing for me was starting back on My fitness pal. It has really helped me realize that I was eating an insane amount (pretty obvious at my weight) and my diet was really high in sodium. So far, it had been all diet for me. I'm nursing a shoulder injury and haven't been able to work out for about three weeks.
My short term goal is to make it to 220 by July 1, which is definitely possible at my current rate. My long term goal is 190. I haven't been that light since high school.

never been in this thread before.
Your post has me giggling a bit as I am about almost exactly the same weight loss in the exact same time frame.
Went to the doctor in late Jan for a different reason and my BP was high, was getting eye pressure and even headaches. I am 51 and at 253 was the heaviest ever in my life. I am 6'1" and I do hold it well enough if one saw me so yea my belly was a bit large but didn't think I was ever that heavy. Anyway the BP and also bad levels of everything in my blood work gave me a real scare at 51yrs.... 51 is prime herat attack time so I made some drastic changes to my diet and fitness. Down to 238 in about 6 weeks (hence similar to you) and also got my BP down too Will be going back in april for a complete bloodwork again and all followup check.
I also (my whole life) have an issue with my 'good choloestoral" always being low. Which (in a way) can have the same effect as high bad cholesterol even if the bad cholesterol is not high so that's a battle in itself. Fish oils (omega3's) and exercise are the biggest boosters to help raise the good cholesterol. But unfortunately its minimal.
Anyway, Not just diet change but back to the gym at least 4 or 5 days per week (sometimes more depending on work).
I already notice a big difference with all the physical tasks I do. Its still hard with the eating though. I'm just trading fruits and veggies for junk for filling a craving. I did this about 6 years ago and lost 30lbs in 4 months just by doing that. But gained it all back a couple years later and surpassed my max weight by 3lbs before this latest adventure began.
Congratz on the weight loss to you. As I make my way through the 50's I want to be around for my wife and kids and also live to see grandkids one day. Not that I am rushing life away at all. I could stay right here forever at this age would be great..lol But none the less I don't want no friggin H.A. so I am determined to keep this up and make it happen. And also much like you 220 (whch is where I was 6 years ago after that health binge) is a nice weight for me. Any slimmer and I look too skinny. But I am hoping to get there in a few months by June as well. I don't have a set target date to do this but just to lose as much as possible as fast as I can while of course still eating right. of course the ocassional restaurant or family function throws things off abit but do well all the rest of the times and like last time I am convinced it will keep working as well as its been going so far.
Wow 24k is a big day for me to hit ... good job ... I think I average 13-14k a day ...
I am pretty happy with todays weigh in ... I am down 15 pounds since we started. I hit my goal weight, and heading toward my stretch goal ...
At OT tonight the class was crowded, so my instructor improvised, and he kick my butt ... I burned 779 calories ...
Every single time I come back from either grabbing a snack or lunch this thread is mocking me. I GET it, I need to jump back on the wagon!!
whoa now, Im no Ddec lol
I've been on the 200lb plateau for months now. I understand that building muscle will do this sort of thing, but I'm itching to step on the scale and see a number beginning with '1'.

Vanity is one heck of a drug. Thanks, by the way. I'm looking to get down to my pre IT job weight and the 1xx scale figure is part of it.why? I don't mean to be creepy, but at liita last year you seemed to be in really good shape. sounds like it's muscle weight?

GG have you tried Siggis?
This is not as healthy as a normal Greek yogurt, but for a healthier dessert option it's delicious!
Ok the halo top ice cream is fantastic IMO. No it isn't Ben and Jerrys and it does have a bit of that artificial sweetener taste, but it absolutely hits the spot for me. Doesn't hurt a whole pint of the vanilla is less than 250 calories. Just wish it wasn't so expensive
