from 333 pounds working on getting thin. Middle aged mans journey.

sorry, not sure who reads this, but I started doing a new facebook group and haven't kept up on this blog as much as I should.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/sixmilestosupper/?ref=bookmarks six miles to supper is on facebook and it's a pretty diverse group. The founder has written a book and what I like most is it's a pretty free spirited group of people. I'm not much into being told what to do and I know what works for me. Here are my two latest posts and another link to her youtube videos.     215 pounds. I lost .4 pounds on Thanksgiving week!! 215 pounds. On the road to my final goals. 81 pounds down since January.  I'm in the 4th mini-goal of 25 pounds. From 221-196. From there I plan on going in 10 pound goals till I am happy with my mirror. I'm around 30% fat and 215 pounds. I've been doing one meal at noon and a snack most nights (I guess it's called 2mad.) I'm trying to increase my primary meal and do away with the...

As a rule of thumb, weight loss is generally 75 percent diet and 25 percent exercise. I might walk 5+ miles a day but I need to work on cardio and weight resistance training.

I'm happy where I am...for now. I am working on loosing more than 40 pounds but I have stumbled upon something missing from most "diets." I need to practice maintenance now. It's like my mindset. 90% of how my weight loss goes is how I mentally handle it. It's allowing myself "cheat meals". I had a party to go to the other weekend and I let myself go. Not like I used to but I still tasted EVERYTHING.      It's like driving a car without my instructor with  me and realizing  I need to practice driving on my own. 95% of all diets fail because of weight loss ending and not learning how to keep it off. Not doing much different than in my "diet" mode, but I am practicing getting my mind around the fact that I am still fat, but not as big as I was before.  I plan on uploading pictures I've taken of the last months OMAD meals. Don't starve. I've lost around 60 pounds over the last 7 months and i'm ok if it takes longer to loose th...
