Weight Loss

[30WCF]

The last I was on the scale, it said 208. I think that was two days ago maybe three.

We’re neck and neck. Maybe after Christmas I’ll race you to 200.

You'll win that race, I was 207.6 this morning so the lowest I'll probably go would be 205. The wife made a nice beef stew in the crockpot today, I had two bowls with some rolls.

 

[30WCF]

I think my scale is broken. I’m 211. Even if I know it’s wrong, and it’s harder the next year to recover, I’ll kick my own arse over the summer to train for an elk, then go into hibernation each winter. It’s not winter yet.

That's not bad, you lost all that weight so adding some doesn't hurt that much.

No.
I need to stop. 187 to 211 is +24lbs since Oct. It’s 49.97% of what I lost in 6mo.
One day it won’t be easy to shed.

This morning I weighed 208.6, not bad but I do expect that I'll add a few pounds this Holiday season.

Just in time for a midnight snack.
Bright Leaf .5” bologna sammich with pepperjack and mayo.

 

[thewoodlands]

206.6 this morning, that sammich looks good.

 

[thewoodlands]

I'm starting 2025 off at 207.8, from what I've weighed in the past, that's a big win for me.

I'll put on some pounds tonight, pasta, steak with Utica greens.

 

[30WCF]

215 but I did ride my bike yesterday.

 

[thewoodlands]

I started having a treadmill session a day, nothing big just 15 minutes. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I'll do two a day and then see how the old knees feel.

The last time I weighed myself it was 207.8, I'll get back on the truth teller on January 18. I haven't set a goal yet for the end of January but anything under 205 will be good.

 

[thewoodlands]

Maybe the two sessions on the treadmill will be Monday thru Friday, stuffed manicotti tonight.

 

[30WCF]

220 today.

 

[thewoodlands]

220 today.

I decided that I would jump on the scales this morning, 208.6. I'm thinking it should be more after the meal yesterday with the ice cream last night so I'll check again tomorrow morning.

Even though you've gained some, you can lose that once you start biking more.

The first session on the treadmill is done, I only did 16 minutes but with the wood stove going in the basement, I was getting hot. The knees feel good so there will be a second session today.

 

[thewoodlands]

I wanted 205 by Sunday morning but the scales said 206 this morning, maybe I'll hit my target weight before.

 

[30WCF]

223, but I’m thinking harder about it. That’s the first step.

My hit the brakes on my top weight was 218, so far I've only reached that once.

I’m down to 203. For the last month and a half I’ve been on the Cake Diet. It’s really just me baking all my own bread. There are huge benefits to milling your own flour. I’ve dropped 7lbs on it. Most of the bread I’ve cooked is apple bread, blueberry bread, and banana bread… cakes!

That's great, are you planning on getting below the 200?

Milling by hand?

 

[EatenByLimestone]

Yeah, why not! I’m not doing anything difficult to do it. I even had a 20oz bottle of coke with lunch the last few days. It’s just naturally coming off.

I think a lot of it is the really high fiber in the freshly milled flour. I made spelt pancakes a few days ago for dinner. I pushed the capacity of my grain mill and the wheat berry husks didn’t get ground down as far. The husks left an odd looking slush in the bottom of the mixing bowl. They didn’t taste bad, just looked a bit weird. But I had maple syrup on them, the kid had some raspberries and syrup on hers. Good stuff!

 

[EatenByLimestone]

Here’s my mill. It was only $37 on Amazon. It’s like a big version of my wife’s spice/coffee bean grinder.

 

[stoveliker]

Okay. I thought you were muscle milling it, exercise to lose weight.

 

[EatenByLimestone]

The kid asked for garlic bread yesterday. I made a couple small loafs of hard white wheat berry bread and she’s going to figure out the garlic butter.

The large dome thing is my wife’s wok lid.

Mortar and pestle? I guess it could be done. I don’t want to do it though! lol.
