Ive been so motivated by you Brawny and I know you've got the right attitude and will be consistent with what you need to do.
This time is different! Keep at it, youve got this
 
Thank you Cowboy and Katy...maybe, just maybe this time will be THE TIME!

So I was thinkin ...
I have done this for 50 days
I have lost 14 lbs ( probably 15 by now)
When I started I could barely walk a mile. I walked 3 last night.
50 days ago my fat clothes were getting tight. They are loose now. Not in my skinny clothes yet.
What will 50 days more bring?
15 more pounds off would put me at 281lbs
How much more activity and exercise could I do?
Pretty sure I could be in at least 80% of my wardrobe ( maybe not those awesome camo pants that I wore with a pink polo shirt with the collar flipped up and air Jordan's back in 1986 lol) Oh how my mullet would sway in the breeze! Sorry, I digress.
 
Wow, that uh, paints quite the picture.

I also didn't realize popped collars pre-dated the 2000s. I know it was really big about 10 years ago with the kids.

Brain bleach! Quick, please! One of our neighbors (about... 8 years older than me?) wore both mullet AND pornstache proudly until he married in the early 2000s. Yes, I´m a country girl...

I love this Brawny.
I think that this time could be it! :D
 
Busy busy day
Quick report
I have exercised 11/13 days in October
I ate about 300 calories too much yesterday but tried hard to pedal it off on the bike this morning. I want to walk tonight also but may not get home from school events until too late.
Weigh in is in the morning
 
I gotta be really really careful.
Mrs Brawny asked me to go get the dog food she bought out of her car cause my must were hungry. I go out there and it is this Collossal 55 lb ( buy 5 get 5 free) bag. Well I get it and tote it to the back porch...yep...I hurt my back. It's not too bad I think but the last thing I need is an injury. Tomorrow is a scheduled day off from exercise so Maybe I will be ok by Saturday when I plan a long walk.
 
No editing after the first 15 minutes, sorry. But I think I understood it wasn´t for you and Mrs Brawny :p Hope your back gets better soon.
 
Weigh in is done
294.0
Lost 3.8 last week
That is really good for me!
Let's celebrate with pizza and beer! Just kidding ( about the pizza anyway)

Great job on the drop. It is always nice to see a change in the scale when you have been eating right and exercising.
 
Well I dodged a bullet. I was really worried that my back injury was going to sideline my exercise. I took Friday off as I had already planned. I went to the track today and did a walk to see how it would do. I did 2 miles at about 90% pace. it went fine! Tomorrow I'm going for a regular 2.5 mile walk at or near normal pace. I think it's going to be ok. Except for getting a chewing from my physical therapist wife on taking care of my back lol
Exercised 12/15 days in October
Ate 1450 calories today
If I can get to 291.8 that will be 20lbs gone since August 22
 
Glad you're feeling better and my commiseration for your wife - it can be exasperating to have people you love ignore your expertise :p
 
Sunday report
Walked 2.75 miles in 50 minutes
Ate 1550 if I can make it 3 more hours till bedtime without eating anything which is a big if
20 lb gone mark here I come...
 
Well....I let about 300 calories worth of chips and this really good bean dip get into my mouth. My daughter had been on a trip and got home late and hungry and was eating it and I had a weak moment. Still I kept it from being a full blown binge which in the past I have done. What got me to stop was the thought of that scale going up instead of down on Friday. I am cutting my intake by 100 a day for the next 3 days to pay for it. Or I may try and pay for it with exercise. Or a combination of both. I need a little refocus. My resolve got a bit fuzzy. I actually thought while I was eating that "your gonna be pissed at yourself later for this." This was better than what I have thought at moments like this in the past which was more like "oh well, you can start again tomorrow" That thought kinda lets me off the hook and a full blown binge would follow. Yall don't have any idea how ugly some of my binges in the past have been. One time probably 6-7 years ago, I hit the Jack in the box drive thru and ordered (and consumed) an ultimate cheeseburger meal with large fries plus 6 of those greasy tacos that they sell on the dollar menu. I ate the whole damn thing. I am totally capable of that. I must keep that guy locked up in my brain. He is very bad. This time he only cracked the door open and I then put him back away but I better thing on this and get back into my good mental place or I will get this 18 pounds plus some back in a fraction of the time it took to lose it.......CRAP!
