Weight Loss / Re: 170s Club
Last post by Andrew -
172.6 today. I had a plate of home fries today with some chicken tenders. I didn't count the calories as I dont have a scale yet. I think a scale would drive my mom bonkers. The potato thing still persists constantly trying to push potatoes on me. my dad  did the same when he was alive. potatoes every single day in one form or another. dont want them today ok then tomorrow it is.
I dont like them as much as everyone else. I could go months without potatoes.

@alligatorob glad to see you back. Every day is a new start so keep going! Have you tried protein drinks. not the meal replacement kind but the protein only kind. they are around 130-140 calories and may help you feel fuller for longer. The premixed kind are fast and easy with no preparing powders.

Looking good, Llama xo

Weigh myself once a week (ignorance is not bliss). Whoops.
Take blood pressure at least once a week. ✔️ I had better do that again today!
Drink at least 2 litres of water a day. ✔️
See a physio & come up with a doable daily exercise plan & actually do it. ✔️Feb ap't
Walk Archie every day, even if it's raining and/or cold. ✔️ missed one day only
January 2025-
Alcohol-free. ✔️ except for last Sat (planned) -adding one day of Feb.
Log everything. ✔️ Haven't missed a day or gone over.
I will try to stop-
Worrying so much. ✔️  Doing quite well there.
Overall I'm really happy with how I'm going too.

1/13 - 197

Well the good news is no binge yesterday...  Wish I could say the same about the past couple of months.  Anyway I know if the no binge thing is to continue I need support, and this seems to be the best place for me to get it.  So I am back.

I dont want to get ahead of myself but my weight was 171.8 today. Hopefully by the end of January I will be out of the 170s and into the 160s. I dont know what the average everyone's weight is but I figure at some point one of these clubs will have more people in it. I just need to get low enough weight that im around everyone else weight.

Quote from: Llama – on
- Replace sweets with fruit and chips with crackers plus a protein on most days to reduce binging
- Family exercise twice a week, a proper hike once a week, and walking to work and back most days
- Weigh myself every Monday morning and take my blood pressure every Sunday night
- Focus on one thing rather than having 3 only half-engaging things running simultaneously
- Try one new social thing every month
- Shoulder exercises twice a week.
Sunday 12th. Where are we?
- Ate pretty well, except for that big bar of chocolate.
- Family exercise, shoulder work, and walking to work and back (plus everywhere else) went great but the base of my big toes is a little sore due to my doubled walking distance so instead of a proper hike today I started with 10 minutes of cardio and I'll do two or three short walks spread out over the day.
- Had a couple of times where I still scattered my brain across multiple activities but mostly I stuck to a main thing plus maybe something in the background.
- Not yet but I had a look at knitting/crocheting meetups and hope to go to one before the month ends.
- Did and exceeded my shoulder exercises. By the start of February I want to be back in the groove enough to go to the gym twice a week for upper body work again. Right now I'm sure it's still very busy so I won't bother.


Happy with where I am.
