Topic: 242.1 / July 1 weigh-in

FINALLY!  I have gotten off the 246 plateau.  April, May, and June at the same weight was killing me.  One vanilla milk shake binge and a lot of exercise later, I have gotten off it.  I'm hoping for under 240 before the July River Jam.  With this, I am officially more than 20 pounds off the starting weight, with roughly 30 to go to my ideal weight and 20 to go for my "I can live with this" weight.  At 210, I get another kayak because I already have it in the shed and no one uses it because it's too aggressive of a boat but the maximum weight on it is 210 pounds. 

That giving up booze thing didn't last long.  I've cut back surely, but not given up entirely.

There's no need to cut out booze entirely.  Thats just wrong. Hope you reach your goal soon.

Re: 242.1 / July 1 weigh-in

Hey, Zurf. I'm now at 226 and holding. That's down from 265 in June of 2009 when I had a heart attack. Been holding at this weight for a while, now, so I don't know if I'll get any lower. My goal was to get to the 200 / 210 mark. Thats 36 pounds that I've been able to keep off for 2 years so I'm happy with that.

That's awesome NELA!  I don't how you could do it with all that good food in Louisiana.  I'm shooting for 210 as well, and coming from about the same max weight.  I am glad that I did not have a heart attack, but I did get to spend a weekend in the cardio unit while they convinced themselves of it which was as close as I'd like to get.
