Losing Weight with Starscream

down from 239 to 224 in 14 days. Andy, cut out the booze and you'll see a difference. Looking back, most of my caloric intake came from alcohol and now it's coming off.

I've been tracking it and around 15-17% of my intake is alcohol. Knowing that makes me feel like an alcoholic.

Hate to agree with you Andy as it sounds like you enjoy your Whiskey as much as I my beer.

Unfortunately as I mentioned before Alcohol has a double whammy. The extra calories you don't need and how it is metabolized.

I don't think of it as giving it up.........only obtaining to reach a goal

Keep at it amigo nothing succeeds like perseverance.

Had my semi monthly meeting with my coach today..........seems I am ripping it up...........in his words "We need to get you to slow down a bit" I know what he is getting at not to keep my expectations that this rate of change will continue but for now I maintain the pace.

Good luck all.

I lost 1.6 pounds a week for however long it took, Shawn. Then I just stopped. Ran out of fat. Now I have a little on the gut, but I lost it all on my back and everywhere else.
50 pounds of fat is a wheelbarrow full. Can't believe I was lugging that much extra around.
I tried to get back to working out by going to Physical Therapy, but it just exasperated my back problems. So I'm back to doctoring (not that I've ever stopped).
It's all coming together slow but sure.
Time takes time, brother. Be patient and listen to your doctor. Don't hurt yourself when all you need to do is be patient. Give your body time to acclimate. It needs it.
It'll all come off. You're too stubborn for it not to.

If it's any consolation, Andy, I'm an alcoholic. You wouldn't make a pimple on an alcoholic's ass. That's a good thing.
Set it down for a bit and acheive your goals. Either that or find an alcoholic beverage without such a negative impact on your plan.
Once you're reached your goal, you'll enjoy and appreciate your whiskey that much more, I bet ya.
