When I get hungry I drink a big glass of water before I eat, eat a small portion and wait while the hunger eases off. Yeah, I remember how I lost all the weight originally, I can do this. Somebody check my math: I weigh 212, I'm about 20% body fat. So my lean mass is about 170, right? Add on my goal of 10% body fat and my goal weight if I maintain my lean mass is about 187, yes? -And for the record, I don't like starting out the day as a "Fat Bastard". Nice hijack, though.

So far, I feel great.

Going off last check-in gets frustrating (for me) when sitting on plateaus. Similarly, I'll only check in once a week, so we should agree on a day. Daily variations can get pretty disheartening, e.g. when you have a rough day but feel like you accomplished something, then find out the next morning you gained a pound. Weekly scale-hops remove some of that variability. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
