Getting there

Weight still coming off, I'm aiming to get down to 210 lbs this month and aiming to end the year on 200 lbs or below.

I've given up alcohol for 5 months now and the craving have stopped and I do feel much better for it.

I'm eating around 1700 calories a day which should give me a 2 lbs weight loss a week but I'm lucky if I get a 0.5 lbs loss.

I may need to up my activity level to increase my weight loss.

You could reduce your calories by 50 and see if that helps too :)

Are you remembering to measure yourself as with all that exercise you will be gaining muscle which weighs ;)

Congratulations on the 5 months off alcohol :)
