Man, some of you guys sound like you are 100 years old.
Well...to be sure, some are closer to 100 than others are.
But the fact remains that everybody is on the same train headed for the same destination, even if some are a few cars further back.

You right, you right.Don't let the rain hold you back. If (when) they cancel set a personal goal to run the 5K some safe time/place this weekend on your own.
My weight has been going up for three years, and my blood pressure followed. The meds I started three weeks ago were hard for me to tolerate. So I abandoned that approach.
When I think about how much my toddler g-daughter weighs, 26 lbs, and think how heavy she feels to pick up, and how much weight that is on my knees, I think, “Man! I’ll be able to haul ass at the next IDPA Match if I lost that weight."
Lost ten pounds this past month. Left knee doesn’t hurt going down the stairs now. Coincidence?
I cut out the carbs. I’m not watching calories. And I still drink whisky at night and argue with strangers as required by life. A man can only tolerate so much.
I self authored the "fieldgrade famous diet".
Meaning, I’m winging it.
Turkey sausage in the morning with an apple,
celery with jalapeno pimento cheese anytime because I like it, celery is good in fiber.
handful of peanuts here and there,
pecans, lots of pecans because I have little self discipline, but they are good in fiber I’m told,
salads with chicken on top since I have a chickfilet not far away,
meat off the grill,
seasoned limas, seasoned pole beans, maybe some other veggies when I get tired of those.
I’m not going hungry.
I expect a lot of this is water weight here at first, we’ll see how another month of this goes.

Dehydrated maybe?Speaking of blood pressure.
During the high heat of the summer, running a chainsaw and axe mine would get low and I’d get light headed and want to pass out.
Had a deal this morning, wasn’t working or doing much other than sitting at the table.
All of a sudden, started feeling like I was going to throw up, vision got blurry and really “white”. Started sweating profusely, like rolling off of me in big drops. Couldn’t stand up.
So the wife checked my BP.
69/39
Though I might be taking the backhoe guy up on his offer a little quicker than I thought.
Blood pressure is a weird thing.
Keep an eye on it folks.
I really recommend you follow up with your Dr about that. Your BP dropping that low is dangerous and could be a warning sign of other things going on.Speaking of blood pressure.

My wife had P.O.T.S. twenty years ago. Symptoms like yours. She ended up in the hospital for two weeks.Maybe
Could be a pump issue with your heart, pipe issue with your vessels or a fluid issue as in dehydration. Either way your body having a BP that low isn’t going to be able to maintain for long and will start shutting itself down to maintain. Have you taken it since then?Maybe
It has worked its way back up to normal for me, 136/78Could be a pump issue with your heart, pipe issue with your vessels or a fluid issue as in dehydration.

Personally I'm going somewhere in the middle. I'm not gonna gorge and potentially fall back into old habits, I'm going to continue to practice putting down the fork before I'm stuffed. But I am going to enjoy some gravy and dressing 😁What’s everyone’s plans for Thanksgiving? Stick to the agenda, or enjoy yourself knowing you can’t ruin your progress with only one day’s eating?
I wish I had seen this one when I first joined in here.
I started in August at 238 lbs. Most recent weigh in was 210.4 lbs, yesterday.
