220.2 this morning. Total loss was ~14-16 pounds for 2018. Basically too much eating like an asshole (SHOT will be tough). Goal is 183.8 and then work on strength training.
EDIT: Just checked my weight tracker, 235.6 on 20180101. So 15.4 pounds in 2018 . . . . would have been better if not for the eating like an asshole.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.
199 pounds just now. I was around 192 pounds before the holidays so I'm mostly chalking it up to water or something. Either way, I haven't been under 200 (at 5' 8") in over five years.
That was from pure diet (keto). It is time for me to put the exercise component back in, but I also need to do some homework on stretching and mobility, because I am in my early thirties and already feel the sands of the hourglass. I want to be 175 again, with BF% at least under 15. Not too low because I went from a 44 waist in February to 36 now and I'm already sick of buying pants and belts to accommodate that.
I remember bookmarking a link to Eric Cressey from one of Greg Ellifritz's weekend blogs, so I'll start with that. I have a foam roller already, so I just need some tennis balls and one of those TheraBand Flex Bars.
I know that feeling. I was a 42-44 when my little one was born and 40-42 at the start of last year. Now I'm at 36 and think I'll bottom out at a 34.

I dropped from 235 a couple years ago down to 205 and then stalled out. Have gained a bit back since kid #2 arrived.
Current weight: 215
Goal weight: 195
I don’t think I’ve been below 200 # since high school so seems like a good arbitrary weight goal to shoot for. The charts at my doctors office always say I should be closer to 175-180 at my height of 6’2”, but I think I’d be skin and bones at that point.

280.8 this morning.
Bought an EUFYLIFE smart scale and downloaded the app. Interestingly enough, I can “scientifically” claim to be big boned according bone mass %.
Main technique will be variations on fasting, since it’s simple and I can hack my environment and daily habits to pursue it.

This morning I weighed 190.0 pounds (5'8" tall). I don't weigh regularly, but I haven't changed pant sizes in over a decade. The good news is that at 43 years old I only weigh about 10 pounds more than when I graduated from high school (unfit). The bad news is that I weigh about 45 pounds more than when I graduated from college (fit). I guess I'll pick 170 as a goal weight.
Just flew back from a couple of weeks in the middle of the PNG bush, and pretty much blew off the diet (keto is hard when you can't get fresh veggies, or most other ingredients).
Starting over today, and will try to weigh in Friday.

After a week of sitting around eating and drinking (and minimal exercise and jiu-jitsu) I'm at 225.6...
(Wow that came back fast!)
