I forgot yesterday, but this morning I was 134.6.

It's been up a little, down a little, but no remarkable change in either direction these last two months. Probably just water weight fluctuation. I realize now that I am going to have to make significant changes in the way I eat (which isn't all that "bad" to begin with) because I don't think I can fit any more riding/weight lifting into my schedule and still have the necessary recovery time I find I need at my age. This is frustrating.

I'm at 131 lbs, came back from vacation with no biking included, too much sitting, too much food, and water retention. It's fine, though, could be a lot worse!

I'm back up at 180.4 A week of conferencing, even though I watched my intake. Nevertheless ... too much snacking between sessions, and too little physical activity. Actually I was up more than that, but the ride to H€ll on Monday helped whittle the gain back down a bit.

154lbs... it is magical number for me because 154lbs is the just below 70kg. And that is great! I stopped loosing for couple of weeks, but the last Sunday century seem to help. I still drink wine and beer, but definitely much less and I try no to eat late at night. The main thing is that I try to eat rather 5x a day and more than the 2x a day (before).

I want to thank GLC for organizing the chart. I am very competitive person but sometimes I get lost in grandiose goals - but the chart simplified my goal, my small weekly goal was to have at least little bit less on scale on Friday morning. Nothing more than that. And it worked. I would have never done with all of you sort of competing with me, but mainly I would have never done it without the chart. It is first time in my life (since adolescence) that I actually weight below 70kg ! No diet before really worked because I never really stuck to it.

What worked was combination that the first time in my life I did not WISH to loose weight, I DECIDED to loose weight. Without the chart it would be much harder battle. Thank you all!
