Losing Weight with Starscream

[Starscream]

Trying out something new for breakfast: peanut butter/banana protein shake.
I had a little too much for dinner last night: baked chicken, three helpings of wild rice a roni, oven roasted potatoes, and one and a half lobster tails. No workout yesterday. Gotta get it in my routine this week.

Looks like I need to plan more ice climbing trips. I checked the scales this morning to see how I'm doing. My first time back under 240 in a few months. Can't wait for the official weigh in tomorrow.

Keep it up! Hope it still looks good tomorrow.

Gained to pounds so far this week. This damn cold is preventing me from exercising. I feel too drained to do anything.

A little gain while sick is nothing to be ashamed of. Concentrate on getting well and you'll get the extra off when you are better.

I managed out good on my weigh in today. Down 2 from last week and just shy of 10 lbs gone in total. That's pretty good, but ~235 is normal for me. The hard part will be going below 230 and staying there.

Awesome job, Ian! Keep it up. The last time I lost weight and dipped below 230 (227 to be exact) I couldn't lose anymore. I stayed the same for four weeks straight, even when exercising regularly and eating right. It made me upset, so I took a break. That break turned into a two year absence from trying to live a healthy lifestyle.

Thanks. I've been told that sometimes we can hit a wall, or at least a plateau, where the body needs time to adjust. We just have to not get discouraged, stick to our guns, and stick with the plan.

I've also heard that we also have natural weights that will take a great deal of effort to get past. If I can't get lower than 230, but can remain active and eating healthy, I'll be happy enough.
