First weigh-in of the year: 229.8 Despite my holiday shenanigans I was able to maintain/lose 1 lb over two weeks.

219.0 today.

I bounced around 220-221 for a week and a half and then tried @Tom_Jones idea of eating a pound of broccoli and then a small protein. I've been substituting cabbage, turnip greens, kale, etc as the mood strikes and some radishes, but the results are breaking through the plateau and down a pound in three days.

Eating on the road and being sedentary for a bit hasn't helped, but still forward progress.

177 and change today. Had some ups and downs, but ended up down a couple.

*Pro tip: don't eat half a pizza the night before weigh-in

I was a legit 176.0 yesterday (yay!). Up a bit today after a larger(-er) dinner and breakfast.

Weighed in at 163.6 on Thursday. After hemorrhaging strength these past six weeks, I have reformulated diet with the help of someone who actually know what he's doing. Weight loss after the adjustment will be much more gradual, but I should (hopefully...) retain more strength in the mean time. We'll see.

A relatively recent NYT article said that protein quantity was much more important to middle aged men than younger men. So I’m back to gonzo protein goals. I rarely hit them but I try to be conscious of it particularly in Lent.

I upped my protein intake to a minimum of 140 grams per day last January. I didn't simultaneously increase fiber intake. That was a mistake. Last February, I added a fiber goal of 42+ grams per day. Life became much better. I'd strongly suggest increasing protein and fiber in tandem.

Probably where "shit a brick" comes from.

Savory oatmeal dishes made the fiber intake easy.

How are you guys getting so much fiber? I'm struggling to get 20g within my 1500 calorie/100g Protein goal. A good day:

bowl of regular oatmeal (2g)
+ 1 box of raisins (1g)
1 banana (3g)
(300 calories, 6g fiber)

Lettuce wrap chicken sandwich (1g)
Orange (3g)
(460 calories, 4g fiber)

1/2 lb celery sticks (3g)
2 cups 2% cottage cheese (0g)
(240 calories, 2.5g fiber)

broccoli beef (4g)
steamed rice (1g)
(500 calories, 5g fiber)

----------------------------------

1500 calories, 100g protein, 18g fiber

Add two cups of leafy greens to two meals and you'll add about 10g of fiber for very minimal calories.

Sweet potato is about 4g per 100 calories.

Various kinds of beans are about 6g per 100 calories.

Down to 250. Have been putting in work strength training and getting my shit back in order after all the broken and torn stuff last year. Lost around 15lbs since January. Was on a low carb low calorie diet, that was garbage for me. Have switched my diet up in the past month and that has produced the most gains in the gym and weight loss.
