The weight
I was brave this week and weighed myself – 182.5 which is down a bit from the last couple of weigh-ins. I need to keep working at it however. I’ve been doing a lot of running lately (3-4 times per week) so I’m doing very well on the exercise side but the diet needs a bit more discipline (as always).

Thanks for the mention. After serious effort for the last couple of months, my weight is about 5 lbs below yours. Good luck catching up. I actually focus more on my percentage of body fat. I have a bathroom scale that purports to measure fat percentage. I don’t know how accurate it is, but changes in the reported level seem to make sense. My weight has been steady for the last few weeks, but fat level dropped 1%, which is consistent with the slightly thicker muscles I seem to have.
Thanks for the mention Mike. Question, are you an outdoors runner or more of a treadmill guy?
Michael – Congrats on the weight loss. So you are ahead of me eh? Do I smell the hint of competition in the air? 🙂
FT – I’m definitely an outdoorsy runner – our house is too small for a treadmill and I’m not sure if I would use it enough to justify the cost anyway. It can be difficult in the winter – especially when it gets icy.
Thanks for the mention Mike! I’ve never chased yield either :!
