Congrats
 

Impressive. What were the dietary changes? Whole30 or Paleo?

Congrats to all who've dropped a big number!
 

Nice work.

Thanks. Just Weight Watchers. Exercise is a given because of the officiating. The main part is being more conscious of what I eat along with more fruits and vegetables. As one of the meeting leaders said, "None of us is here because we're eating too many fruits and vegetables unless we're dipping them in chocolate and frying them in oil."

Fried Butter, Delicious ...

Ok, this thread is officially [no pun intended] closed as it has now morphed into a "weight watchers" share-fest.

Nice try, if you don't like it, don't open it.

My method is pretty simple:

1) eat like a "normal person" (2 slices of toast for breakfast instead of 5, for example).
2) Try to pick the healthier/lower calorie alternatives as much as possible, but don't sweat it too much. Skip desert most of the time. Try to be just slightly hungry when going to bed for the night.
3) Exercise, exercise, exercise. I've started running long distances (11.5 miles on Saturday, 7 miles on Monday, probably 6-7 tomorrow if I have time).

Paddled My Kayak Five Miles This Past Sunday ...
 

Two and a half miles "uphill", and two and a half miles "downhill". Took me two and a half hours, total, round trip. And were my arms tired. Seriously. They were tired. I'm not joking.

I do the same thing, but in my car. Does that count?

I think that would be nearly impossible to wear.

Nobody likes ending up on YouTube.

The jackets are the only thing I don't have altered (that show). Sides get tapered and sleeves of shirts get altered (sometimes length, sometimes size of opening, sometimes both). Pant leg lengths get tailored. I am lucky in that my waist size usually works just fine with the exact waist size of the pants I wear. I also have my patches/flags put on by my tailor.

And I don't wear any of those under-belt things to keep shirts tucked in. I've always tucked mine into my undershorts/compression shorts, and I've never had issues with shirts coming untucked.
