Wow!!! That is great! How much more to lose?

There are many more games you can still join.
Let me know if you do. My first two games end
next week & it looks like I will win both of those.

Now the third one I joined, the 6 month one is
going to be much more of a challenge, it has
monthly weigh-in's and then the big weigh-in,
in 6 months from now.

I don't think I have much farther to go, maybe a full 10-12% total. I'm trying to retune my metabolism. This diet may be a long term lifestyle change. My main concern is power to weight ratio. As I get older I feel I need to lower my weight to match my strength. It's an age thing. LOL

The "kickstart" is 4% in 4 weeks.
The "Transformer" is 10% in 6 months.
They also have the "Maintainer" for those who have reached goal weight.

You posted in January of 2011 that you weighed 246.
That means you've lost 18 pounds in 6 years.
It doesn't sound like you need a gimmicky web site - you just need another few decades of whatever you've been doing. :D

Gee, thanks for the encouragement :icon_roll

I have done what most folks have, I've lost, then
gained back some. I know what happened, I went back
to bad eating habits.

It is better to keep trying than to give up - so I continue.
 
I won my first two DietBet's, I really like how they do this
online program. Now that I have done two 4 week games,
I have signed up for a 6 month game.

It was good to lose 13.2 pounds in one month. I now must
lose 22.9 pounds in 6 months. Game on!

I dunno yet where I'll stop.

Wide shoulders hide a lot. I been weight/power lifting for quite a few years. Just never "hard core"
 
Great work guys!

I somewhat recently started running, after going to my doctor for a physical and having boarder line high blood pressure. I didn't want to start taking meds if I could help it so I started working out more regularly.

I used to lift a lot in high school and college when I played football but only did off and on since then.

Since ~January I've lost about 30 lbs. I'm 6' kind of large frame, in high school I was 195, I'm at 205 right now. My goal is to get under 200 and maintain it.

Side goals are to run a 10K in under 50 min and eventually run a 1/2 marathon in under 2 hours. I just ran a pb 7 miles in 58min last week and could have probably pushed it a little harder.

I haven't really changed my diet yet, but i'll start eating oatmeal for breakfast with a protein shake between breakfast and lunch with a well balanced lunch. That should help, as now I just normally eat leftovers /what ever is in the fridge.
