My weight is all over the map, and I think its in large part due to water. Eating was marginally better this week, but I have a long way to go. All my kids and Grandkids are visiting today to go to the Minnesota State Fair. We have a plan to do a lot of food sharing so we can all try lots of different foods, but except for all the walking I'll do, it'll be an ugly food day.

Traveling to the Dallas area this week, and should be able to do a little better foodwise.

The world went back on its rightful axis yesterday with college football going into full speed. The Wolverines looked tough, and should have sent a message to the rest of the Big 10 that they are not to be overlooked. Great way to start the season with a dominating win over Florida.

Have a great week all.

I am trying to figure out how to eat and drink and keep nourished through the day while driving truck..

anyone mind telling me what is working for them..?

Every ones journey is different but to answer your second question about losing the first 100 pounds it averages for guys under six months. We do have the advantage over the ladies in that we lose weight faster than they do. Be ready for one Hell of ride!

I'm at the end of a flurry of traveling for work - been inconsistent with eating, weighing, and reporting. But - I've been keeping on track with exercise. I was just up in San Francisco for several days, coming in with 20k+ steps for three days last week between exercise in the morning and walking around all day. Today's weigh in has me at a BMI of exactly 25, though I was below 25 for a weigh-in before I left for SF - hope to be back there again next Sunday!

Have a great week

Good luck!

I didn't bring much and I'd bet you won't need much. I'd suggest to wear comfy, loose fitting clothes in since you'll probably wear them out to go home. No belt, so elastic waistband (like sweatpants, etc.). Slip on shoes or something you don't have to tie, like Crocs, etc. In the hospital, I only wanted chap stick and a phone charger. I was only in for 16-20 hours total I believe so it was a quick stay where I mostly tried to sleep or shuffle/walk around a little. I know people take bags and clothes and books and computers, etc. I really didn't feel like doing a damn thing. I just laid there in the bed on my pain medicine.
