Have since dipped below 190 but wow, my goal of 165 is a long way off and I don't know how I would overcome the lethargy that comes from dieting to be productive at work in the six months it would take me to get there.
Think what I'll do is focus on being an alert and productive 185 or so rather than a half-zombie 173 perpetually unhappy at being unable to dip below 170. My 43rd birthday didn't help matters much.
Zonker. I just turned 53. On the subject of weight, I no longer step on the scales.
When I move towards better health that's the way I feel better. I know I still have plenty to lose, but I have been told by my former trainer and others that I am losing a lot of weight. My 11-yr old said "Dad, you look taller".
The pressure of the scales and how much weight is something I can do without.
I can tell by my energy level and my muscle tone, I am getting fitter.
