Unfortunately I'm not winning sir. But I do eat well

Small update, no real major changes

The last 6 months you maintained your initial weight which is not a bad thing Bobby.

Bobby there is a flaw here.

You keep saying "...update, no major/drastic changes."

But you have steadily risen in weight over the last 2 months.

On January 20th you were 221.1 pounds, today you are 230.4.

While each update only showed a small, non major change in weight, you have gained enough weight to get back to the original weight when this thread started.

Are you still on a weight loss journey?

Gaining a pound a week might not seem like a big change, but 8 or 9 weeks later it adds up.

That's a perspective it doesn't sound like you have here.

I know the task is not easy, it never is, but I want to be sure you are in the right mental mindset here. Don't lose sight of the goal, pal.

When it gets 120 down there just pick two days out of every week where you eat only grapes and mix a gallon of water with a little ORGANIC apple cider vinegar, tiny bit of lemon juice and that's all you get for 24 hours. Used to do that ( I would do 3 days in a row cuz I was flushing so I could pass a pee test fukking weed) when I was like early 20s and couldn't quit smoking when I was on paper. Anyway, that shit slimmed me down QUICK. I gotta go find a pic I was pretty heavy at the time. over 2 bills.

Good job Bobby. I don't think it's so bad you only gained about 30 pounds.

 

[Archie]

bobby on pace to gain about 45-50 lbs this year.

I haven't really been watching what I'm eating. Nor going to the gym. I've just been kind of maintaining a steady weight

 

[Archie]

that's the point

maintain and gain might rhyme

but they ain't the same

Over the last six months you lost and then gained nearly 10 pounds.

That is not maintaining a steady weight. My posts come out of love, Bobby, and this kind of reinforces my point.

It's about the right mindset. I get why it happened, it can be hard to consistently eat well and excercise, even over the holidays.

But make sure you acknowledge what happened, and understand it, rather than just seeing small changes with each update as that sounds like denial.

I don't think you are overtly in denial, but your posts about small changes implies such and is why I spoke up.

Trying to get healthier boys. Accountable is important!

I appreciate the information! Thank you. I know little changes grow over time and I certainly don't plan on letting it spiral out of control long term. I know for my overall health it would be a lot better if I weigh less

Unfortunately I seem to be on an upward trend

I can feel you, Bob.

Have you tried a low-carb diet? I am doing it now, though it takes a lot of time and patience to see the result.

 

[BobbyFK]

In 7 months I gained about 3 pounds so I'd say that's not terrible. Even though I definitely don't want to gain weight I'm happy that I haven't gained a big chunk

I have not. I like to eat and that's my problem. But I think I could definitely eat healthier and make better choices when it comes to food
