I'm 6' and weigh 250 on a good day.  The heck with all you little guys lol.  I've always had a bigger build, and even when I played baseball in college where we ran probably 10 miles a week, did sprints, worked out, and ate decent, I was still 210.  If I can get back down to 215 I'll be real happy.  I think I'd have to starve myself to go back under 200.

Would anybody be up for doing a separate thread just to motivate people to eat healthy and lose weight?  I know my biggest thing is accountability, so I could get people's weight and put them in a spread sheet to show how much they are losing and what percentage they are losing.  Anybody up for it?

Maybe we should do an HSN weight loss competition.  Winner gets a free months membership 💲💲💲💲💲💲

Most Americans don’t know the difference between hunger and thirst and most of us are dehydrated a lot of the time. We get this feeling and think we are hungry so we snack when we should be drinking water.  You need to drink at least 50% of your body weight in ounces of water every day.  So if you weigh 200 lbs you should be drinking 100 ounces of water every day.  This will go a long way in reducing cravings between meals.

I gave up all sugary drinks and mostly only drink water and homemade loose leaf tea.  Drink about a gallon of tea a day plus some water.  Definitely feel better and stopped gaining weight, but that might just be because I burn a lot of calories doing the pee pee dance during class.

I joked the last couple weeks at work that I was trying to bulk up before summer to make my weight loss look more impressive.

The first part was a success.

I need to go to that doctor.  Starting my diet today 😭
