Be careful sprinting at 325. Those good knees can turn bad quick do it on natural grass if possible

Every pound you lose relieves 3-4 lbs of pressure on your joints, at least

Made a pit stop by the house last night after getting home from vacation. Hopped on the scale at 8:30pm (instead of 6:30am). No scale this morning but I'm quite positive I would have been 205 and some change.

I decided to have a little treat in the form of eating a couple of small pieces of my mom's birthday cake and chocolate ice cream while I was there and had a margarita and some watermelon over the weekend. All in all, I didn't go crazy with carbs and came back lighter than expected so I'm pretty happy about that.

haha, yeah it's getting to be pretty lonely in here. But that's fine, everyone can watch me keep on keeping on

I think my biggest problem when it comes to weight loss is drinking. I'm still in college and my friend group tends to drink a lot. Any recommendations for smart drinking? I'm thinking I could just drink straight whiskey or for mixed drinks only using fruit juice/water?

empty calories are empty calories whether you mix it with water or a sugary drink. If you plan to drink, you need to keep it within the limits of your daily caloric needs to keep you at a deficit. Even then, it's not going to make your life any easier. I'd scan the barcode of some whiskey just so you can see how many calories are actually in 1oz (a shot being 1.5oz) and then you can decide better on how to drink smarter.

Honestly though, I'm not much of a drinker so it's tough for me to give any advice on it other than to say just don't do it if losing weight is important to you.

Last weekend, I went to Dallas to visit friends, and in celebration of losing 45 pounds, I ate a 32 oz steak with all the sides and chocolate mousse for dessert. And a double In N Out burger the next day. It has taken me all week to get back to where I was. But, I was already hitting a plateau. It's getting really hot, and I work outside a lot, so I'm sure I'll break the plateau soon. I really want to get to 220-225 by August 1.

Didn't make it through the weekend... I'll have to jump back on the train tomorrow to get back down for check in this Friday

Apparently 4 days straight of stuffing your face and drinking beer all day will make you gain 10 pounds. I'm sure 75% of that was actually water weight from re-introducing carbs in to my system like a flood of sugary goodness, but it'll come off just as fast. Was 213 on Monday and got my diet back on track again now that I'm home. Moving on Saturday, and then should finally be settled again for a while to try and get my p90x3 routine going again.
