Not sure how much water weight I got left before things turn into a slog. Last time, things progressed pretty quickly from 215 to 200, despite Mat buying pizza far too often.

Well done on the loss so far.

Once you hit your target weight, are you planning to do anything differently to the previous time? Otherwise one can easily see a scenario where the weight goes back on. (I've only ever done one diet - I kept logging afterwards, and the weight has stayed off. It's only been about 15 months, but hopefully I can maintain it.)

I mean, my plan is already to not eat truck stop food 3 times per day. Not sure if logging at this level of detail will be necessary if I can get into a set routine.

Were you as active when you gained the weight prior to your diet? I find it fairly hard to believe that you'd put on weight at less than 3k kcal per day with your current activity level.

I was less active before. I made the mistake of believing some of the more egregious aspects of Rippetoe's more general health advice, whereas the man is in fact the embodiment of Dunning-Kruger. (Specifically, I believed that calorific surpluses were fine if one lifted three days a week; and cardio is not that important if one lifts three days a week.)

Why don't you get a membership to anytime fitness? They're a proper gym with free weights that has like 5k locations.

Mostly because parking a vehicle over 70' long at a strip mall is impossible and not particularly legal. I pretty much have to park at rest areas on highways or truck stops.

I'm also, unfortunately, back to the point where I can do damn near anything and gain strength. Playing with my dumbells and exercise bands and doing bodyweight stuff will be enough for a while.

It isn't that big of a deal. I have to walk about 3 steps to get to the exercise equipment that I do have access to.

Glad to see your life is improving. I'll race you to getting back in shape!

Good job, Brian! How about putting 200 as an upper limit in the future?
