206.2.
178.6, up 5 pounds from a couple weeks ago. I’m a lot slimmer so I’ll chalk it up to creatine and several good leg days. The easy weight is definitely off. Goal is 165.
Ignore Alien Orders
153.5 - 21%
Goal - 145 - 15%
I did that more or less, too, for a large part of December. Not completely throwing all caution to the wind, but at least on certain days. Now it's time to work on not having the days of willfully blowing past my numbers for caloric intake. And eat more meat, keeping up on protein intake seems to help a lot.
2019 was a year of 263 to 202.
202 to 196 shouldn't be too hard. I'd even take going to 180, but I don't know that I'm motivated enough to go that far.
You can do it, Jeep!
At the start of last year, I was 2.4 lbs less than you (198.6), and I set a similar goal. I made 185 so quickly (beginning of March), that I had to keep revising my target.
My method:
Consume only BMR (about 1750 cal) + actual calories burned during exercise
Intermittent fasting (essentially skip breakfast most days, coffee only until 1100
Exercise for 1 hr or 600 cal 5 days a week.
I used the MyFitnessPal app to track the calories consumed, exercise, and weight. It has a great database for calories per serving for every food I tried. Can even scan the barcode using my iPhone and get nutritional info per serving. The app is free, and I never used the “premium” membership option.

Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve never counted calories and just logged my first meals a few minutes before you posted using the app - the barcode was handy!
I’ve been 165 during basic training and 250 during some craaaaaaap times active duty, and food really was the culprit on the weight gain there. Once I hit 180 I’ll drop it to 170 and probably maintain. When we start to get hot and heavy at work I doubt the weight will stay down due to some muscle gains, and that’s fine - just as long as the waist stays similar

I'm in. My new project at work has been sabotaging work out time and my waistline reflects it.
Current weight is 222 lbs at 13% (or so) body fat.
Goal is <200 lbs by September.
New Peloton gets delivered Saturday.
Considering giving up beer but I have a fridge full of it left over from a Christmas party.
Trying not to lose anymore in 2020
You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.
I’m in. Last year was not a good year for me. Broken leg then broken elbow and torn tricep tendon. Need to kick this shit in gear again.
