No weights here. We live in a shitty, small condo. It's already 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag. We have one spare room but it has a computer desk, a futon and the dog crate. And that's about all that will fit in there. When we buy a house (at least a year away) I will most definitely be...

Thanks so much. I'm in no hurry to lose the weight. I have no events or family reunions or anything that I'm trying to get in shape for. I'm just trying to make healthy lifestyle changes. I'm much more concerned about doing it right than I am quickly. I will throw together some food combos...

Thanks, Built. I'd calculated my maintenance at around 2500 using lean mass. I don't have the formula's handy anymore but I could probably find them again. So I thought I was only on a 500 calories deficit. I'm aware things will get progressively difficult. That's a big part of why I'm...

Sorry... here you go: Apr 18 2008: 206.8 lbs, 31.9% bf Jun 12 2008: 189.4 lbs, 26.2% bf

When I started (end of February) I weighed in the low to mid-220's. I stopped weighing myself when I hit 220. Currently I'm 187.

Thanks for checking in. I'm currently losing. In the last 2 months I've lost, on average, 2 lbs per week and a total of ~5.5% body fat. I'm currently sitting around 26% body fat. It's a volatile number on the scale so I just keep a 7-day running average. As of this morning it's at 26.2%.

I've been using FitDay for a couple of months to track my intake and would like some input if anyone has anything to add/suggest. Age: 32 Height: 5'9" Weight: 192.5 lbs BF%: ~27% Lean: 140.5 lbs I calculated my BMR using some formulas based on lean mass and came up with 1610. Then using the...

Thanks. My goal is to get slim... for now. Ideally I'd like to get my bf% down into the mid-teens (currently around 26%). Once I get back to a healthy body composition then I'd like to work on adding mass. But I think that I should first worry about my bf%.

I made the choice to be a healthier person back in March. It's been going well so far. At first it was just an improved diet and regularly walking our new dog. Then I decided in May to start going to the gym. I didn't really start tracking any progress until mid-April. Since I started...
