What have you been eating and how often have you been exercising? I can get to the gym but the consistency with diet is what gets me. Need some good ideas if you don’t mind sharing, especially for breakfast and lunch.

Sorry, I just saw this. I weight train 3x a week (whole body workout) and I run 1.5 miles/walk 1.5 miles at least 3x a week also. I've been running/walking more than that though... probably 5x a week currently.

For eating, I haven't kept track of calories or anything. I just changed my habits and eat a much higher protein/lower carb diet. I don't really snack between meals and I don't snack at night. I sometimes have an apple or a string cheese stick between meals... that's why I said I don't really snack between meals.

For breakfast, I either do 2 eggs and bacon or one of the protein cups (add an egg) and an apple. I think the increased protein has helped me stay full much longer.

My lunches are pretty basic, but I'm the type of person that can do basic. I'll do a sandwich wrap (keto friendly wrap) with ham, turkey, chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomatos, pickles and then an apple. Or like today, I had a hamburger patty with cheese and guac, and I had some steamed veggies with it.

I don't drink calories except an occasional beer or whiskey... obviously not with lunch! Sometimes my wife will bring home a meat burrito from a local taco shop and I'll swap out the tortilla for one of my keto friendly tortillas.

My dinner is whatever my wife cooks, but without the white rice or normal pasta. I'll use whole grain pasta or brown rice instead. I'll steal a bite of my wife's dessert, but I won't have a whole dessert myself. Moderation is absolutely key with that stuff.

I did just get back from a week vacation and I tried to stick to my plan as much as possible, but I did indulge a bit.... okay a lot . I gained a couple pounds on the vacation but I've already lost it.

2nd week in a row the scale didn't move. Actually, up a pound. I'm going to have to start tracking to make the most of the GLP, though I'm nowhere close to a clinical weight loss dose

Holy hell, absolutely incredible transformation!!! Looking at your current picture, I'd never have believed your real starting weight.

I'm not sure where I am currently. Being out of power all last week due to the hurricane made food options extremely limited. Combine that with being out of town this week and I probably took a step backwards. I'll post and update when I get back later this week.

Down another pound this week, nice slow pace and probably go get a inbody scan in another couple weeks to see what my BF percentage is.
I have really stepped up my mileage walking and rucking the last two weeks as well as a serious reduction in my alcohol intake.
I didn’t drink a single drink in the last 7 days and I truly think that it’s helping with not only the calories but allowing me to go at it harder than if I had been drinking on the wknd.

Where do yall get these done? My gym does styku scans but I’m not sure how accurate they are.

---

Nutrishop on the north shore has one, stop in an buy some protein powder and get a scan for free.
If you goggle inbody scan they have a “finder” that you can search by city and plug in a radius.
