195.0 I have no idea what weight I need to go down to not have this beer belly. My lowest weight as an adult was around 130. Hopefully I don't have to go all the way down there, not sure I can do it. One pound a week and after a while you'll be grinning from ear to ear.
Achievable goal, you can pull it off, stop when you feel like holding steady
Me 154.5. I have altered my diet, and excercized today.

Cut the carbs out, none to just barely works best, fast one day a week get rid of any and all snack stuff like crackers and bread and crackers and more bread, eating fat doesn't make you fat, eating carbs does, it gets converted to glucose that gives you insulin spikes that raise holy hell with the pancreas, to much insulin and it starts to shut down and then a vicious cycle begins and you can never use up all that glucose from carbs, think of it as like eating spoonfuls of sugar, cake, icecream, carbs are not a nutrient and serve no real useful purpose other than what you get from eating good veggies and that and no potatoes are not a vegetable, they are a little pound of carbs that turns to glucose which when you can't burn off it turns to fat in the long term storage locker, your gut. Look into getting the right diet and even supplements that will work for you, and stop eating carbs, just stop. Its hard because your body wants them, but once it realizes that it has more than enough fat to burn, which by the way when you need energy and there are no carbs in your diet, it takes that fat in your gut and turns it into glucose, you have a years supply of it right there, but thats what it takes, cut the carbs out and do a day long fast one day a week and even two if you want, the less you schedule it the better just so long as you stop eating once in a while, but there is no amount of just losing weight that is going to cut into that gut so long as you keep feeding it carbs, even fatty meat isn't bad for you so long as you are not eating carbs, the absolute worse thing you can do is combine carbs and fat, like eating french fries is like russian roulette with food, sooner or later it is just going to kill you by shortening up your life. And get this, you can stay at the same weight and still lose the gut, seriously, you can have boobs still, you can work out and get healthy, but so long as you stuff carbs into yourself, nothing else you do will get rid of the gut. They told me to get used to the idea that I was going to turn full blown diabetic, that I will lose the use of my legs, that I was headed for a heart attack because of clogged arteries, none of that is true, I have cut way back on type II meds and I can walk just fine and my clogged arteries are unclogging, and I feel so much better but the biggest difference by far, is that my gut is half the size it was and yet I still weigh the same, not losing as much hair, hardly losing any really, its losing its grey like crazy in fact, I am losing the worst of the wrinkles in not only my face but the chicken skin you just get when you get older, so I would assume I am sorta getting younger in that respect, my brain is a lot less foggy, I can smell and taste food like nobodies business, and I need to throw that ice cream out thats taking up space in my freezer, kinda grosses me out if I notice it in there, but I am losing the gut and nothing else worked for me, nothing.

153.0
Realized recovery is way more than the weight stuff.
Took action today, got about a third of the way through a professional dance warm up, yesterday it was barely the first excercize. But ramping up slowly, long walk yesterday, food is corrected.
Switched from cereal at night to that powdered husk fiber stuff my doc told me to take every night since I had the 7 procedures on my internal hemorhoids. Those have been ok, still have some damage down there but its way better than oh so long now. But that will have an impact in a number of good ways.
Still on very low carbs, had some desire today, not craving, I know craving that to me is what happened with booze, nothing was like that. This is nothing at all in comparison.
But seeing how much was lost due to the pandemic, have to deliberately start to recover lost ground in mental health, get better, get healthy and get out of the stable. And a lot of that starts in between my ears and also is connected to taking back control of time.

B12 and selenium are good for the brain functions as well as thyroid, which is kinda the master switch for most body and mind functions, B12 counters the worst of the side effects of metformin as well. But pretty basically all the vitamins are needed and in different doses of course, but none of them is going to do anything if too much is taken, too much is just as bad as not enough. But getting rid of the belly doesn't mean that you are going to lose weight either, its just getting rid of the fat that is nothing more than an accumulation of that type of fat, the rest of the fat you have is not bad fat. As you lose that fat your body becomes more used to burning fat as a fuel source rather than the glucose, its simple, less glucose, the more you burn the useless fat, the belly is pretty much the first to go. But at the same time, done right, you are getting much more into and out of like muscle cells and more efficient blood cells, you carry more nutrients to everywhere, even to fat cells, sets them up to work efficiently instead of just a blob hanging there. So losing fat by cutting carbs doesn't mean a huge weight loss and you don't need to unless you just have to much fat for yourself everywhere, you want to be round, be round, its the bad of visceral fat that needs to go so everything else is working right. Want to build better and more muscle, you pretty much need to get rid of that fat, not always, but it makes getting bigger and more efficient muscles a lot easier, and all things considered, the process just does this to a degree without exercise. Electrolytes are very key to getting the bad fat gone, setting everything else up to run better and keeping a clear head at the same time, and then eating better to get needed vitamins and minerals, thats the next important thing. The less carbs you eat the faster the entire process goes, you want to justy give up potato chips then fine, everything you stop as far as carbs is going to help, just gotta eat bread, then fine, just know it isn't doing much at all for you, it isn't loaded with the things you really need. But here's the thing, the average person in this country is overweight and over a third are in the category of obese, and its this category that most health problems come from, most mental disorders come from, not all, just way to fricken many do because you are running on sugar and not nutrients. But slowing carbs to a crawl is best if you want to lose weight and become fit in a shorter time, if you want to have a big belly and diabetes, then I suggest eating nothing but carbs and drinking only soda pop and fruit juice loaded with fructose, you too can become ridiculously huge in the middle in no time at all, just stuff potato chips and drink beer while sitting on the couch and wondering why it seems to sag more and more in your spot. You are what you eat and it isn't hard at all to just pay a little more respect to yourself by eating healthy, one step at a time, one food you stop and one food you start, determine if you are in need of this or that vitamin and minerals, it isn't a crash course in starvation, you can eat just as many healthy calories and sometimes more or just eat empty calories that you just need to eat more and more of to stay feeling full,, seriously, some people just can't handle the feeling at first of cutting carbs, makes them hungry, so eat fatty foods, eat more fruits and veggies, just give up one carb a day and keeping giving up another and another and you will become used to it and that hungry feeling goes away in no time, cut carbs to the bone for a couple weeks and it goes away almost completely, the craving for pancakes dripping with liquid sugar goes away and really, it kinda will make you sick even thinking about it after a while, and this is just because you eat better foods for you and the mind knows this and so the what are you hungry for suggestions from your brain to your brain is healthy foods, give it a shot, it will make a difference when doing nothing just makes things worse. There is no one or two foods or tricks to this that are going to do anything, its lots and lots of subtle changes that you can make one at a time if you want or go fricken crazy and just go for broke, how fast is up to you, it isn't a starvation way of eating, you eat the right foods and you are simply not hungry all the time, carbs by design are turned to glucose and as soon as you don't need them, they are turned to fat, you can eat a pound of fat and that can be converted to glucose as you need it, or you can eat a pound of carbs and it turns to fat and because it has to have the structure of fat, it actually is like eating several pounds of fat, it isn't just calories are calories, its what your body does with them that matters, excess carbs end up as a much higher pound for pound weight gain than everything else.

150.5
Had a soda today for the first time in many months. I was very hot.
Didn't like it, burned the sugar off anyway I am sure, hard yard work in 90 degree weather and I switched to ice water the last hour of it.
Sticking to the low carb low sugar diet.
I'd love to break through the 150 barrier by the first week of August

I still weigh something, I know I do because I don't float away when I walk, but for sure my gut is way smaller than it used to be and is still getting smaller, I can fit into pants that I stuck in storage a few years ago, the same size pants as I have worn most of my life, again. I bought an ebike last night, its pedal assist but can also be just no assist and throttle only, but the way to get exercise is to keep it at about the middle ground, lots of range that is enough for me to cruise to places that I can't just walk to. I have zero need for a car anymore, everything I need is within walking distance but still there is lots of places where getting there and cruising along at ten twelve miles per hour would be relaxing, like the roads around the lake here. I can't justify the expense of a car at all, to be sure, unless you need one, they are just an expense that I don't need or want. So getting there and still getting some exercise is kinda the plan for now, and I can always use the exercise and I have always liked biking around, not hard on the knees which is a thing as well, but I don't have the old knee problem anymore, gets slightly sore if I carry a lot of groceries from the store, but its the three flights of stairs to get up to my apt that is the killer on it, otherwise I'm in so much better shape than I was when I moved here, so keep on keeping on.

My bursitis went away and I have more clarity on what happened to me knee when I kneeled on that sharp object and something did happen to it but I can't figure it out. Whatever tendon is attached to the kneecap on the low side got messed up. But not much pain and its time to start rehabbing my knees and dancing again. Fully mobile. But it did get hurt, i think more than just the bursa sac got hurt, it went into that tendon and caused damage.
Last time I floated, I was drunk, and then I got the spins....

194.6
Finally back below 195 after cycling back up to 202. Now to cycle down to below 190, or just stay down there. I'm not sure if cycling is really helping me. My boobs and waist are smaller now. While I do want my waist smaller, I'm worried I look more masculine overall at this lower weight, and might even more if I lost more. Still going to try so I can see though.

Cutting carbs is the way to lose a fatty liver which causes all the organs to gain useless fat, once you cut carbs you lose a lot of the fat in and on the liver and then it starts to cut the fat in the organs that are the belly. It doesn't cut fat from other areas and you can eat what you want so long as it is no carb or very low carb, you will always get carbs from everything you eat more or less, but cutting things like pasta and especially white bread is a start. Things like ice cream is really killer doses of carbs, just cutting sugar alone is enough to get you to lose liver fat, but cutting most carbs is going to get you a slimmer waist and pretty much leave the boobs alone. It isn't a matter of losing weight, its all about losing the visceral fat surrounding the liver and gut, this is substantially a lot different fat than like boob fat. Most people who cut carbs don't actually lose a lot of weight, but they do lose a lot of that big belly look. Low impact exercise makes it go faster, walking a couple miles a day helps a lot, stair climbing is even more so but just brisk walking goes a long ways in helping the process of losing belly fat, visceral fat, fat that causes inflammation and that in turn causes more problems. Belly or visceral fat is the leading cause of all the things that are in the top ten of health problems, from cancer to heart disease and more, diabetes is a direct result, there is no upside to having visceral fat accumulations, none, zip, nada. In fact there are far to many people who are otherwise as skinny as can be and yet they have poor health and problems with health because they still have that big belly, it isn't about being overweight, its about having a gut full of unhealthy fat.

Still have a big belly, and still not sure I'd like being thinner. I still might try to lose a bit more, but because I like most of my curves, I have a hard time staying motivated to lose much more than 5 pounds a year. I've been pretty good at keeping the weight I have lost off though. Health just isn't something that motivates me much, it seems.
