I ate ribs for lunch and tacos for dinner then had a piece of cake. I’m not doing this right, am i?

Words of general encouragement!
264 and I boxed last weekend, I'll be 272-278 by the challenge. Is there a deadlift the rear bumper of a BG chassis 323 competition at the challenge? (My shoulder would hate it, so only put me down for one rep)

I remember when drivers were fat and tires were skinny. Maybe I should stay that way?
Im 202 now and ill probably be 190 if i keep working in my garage in this Florida heat.
Check in at one week: 172.6 So, a bit of a setback, probably at least partially attributable to the tenders, fries, and two sodas I had at dinner with my coworkers last night. On the plus side, I've managed to use my exercise bike 3 days in a row now.
Another bonus - I've probably saved about $40 this past week by not eating out for lunch.

in MURRICA you are!
As of today I'm down 20 since the beginning of the month; my new target weight is 155. Time to transition mentally from dieting to lifting.

I've been eating my 'diet' lunches at a pay-by-the-pound buffet in the food court by my office. $3 lunches FTW.

Been making spinach and fruit smoothies at home, and have a bag of pecans to snack from. It is giving me a bit of cabin fever, but they are continuing to tear up the road, so I’m disinclined to drive on it.
Eliminate sour cream and butter and you're like 20-25% there. As time passes you can substitute more high-fat foods to moderate/low/zero fat foods. The key is to do it gradually so your body doesn't protest and throw the new regimen out the window.

Week 1 check in:
180.4
Week 2 check in:
181.8 haha
But I did eat and drink WAY too much on labor day. I was up to 187 the morning after on bloat weight... Back on the train here we go!
Ate a cinnamon roll last night, but for breakfast i did only order a regular thing off the menu at my favorite restaurant up here instead of their incredible buffet, so I am taking baby steps in the right direction

Week 1 check in. 188.7.
Sigh...
Start: 172
Week 1: 172.6 (+0.6, oops)
Week 2: 171 (-1.6)
Going in the right direction now. I'm having a bit of trouble with self control regarding soda, but I have managed to get up to about 30 minutes on the exercise bike most mornings. Continuing to eat lunch at home, saving money and calories. 7 weeks to go.

Week 3: 169.4 (-1.6)
Continued working out on the exercise bike. Need to start doing some sort of weight exercise, too. Still having the occasional soda, but down to less than 1 a day. This is the pace I need to be at to hit my target before I leave for the challenge, hoping to keep it up. I want to be able to eat guilt free at Sonny's BBQ and the Gator's Den.
Measuring at same time of day every time:
start: 257
week2: 257(was out of town ate many cookies)
week3: 254. -3
Biggest key here has been making my coffee at home. By doing that I don’t go to donut land for coffee, and in turn get sucked into the donut case because one cannot go to donut land without getting a donut
I just saw this now...
I started my own weight loss challenge July 27 @ 232lbs and am currently at 206 lbs
Since I’m 5’7” I still have a long way to go.

Cool! Donuts are another weakness of mine. I try to stick to getting them on Sunday morning, but may even try cutting that out for a few weeks.
In reply to No Time :
What tracking app are you using?
In reply to eastsideTim :
I’m doing Keto, so I’ve been using Carb Manager. I think it has settings for other approaches as well.
We have a digital scale that links to my phone, so I set the permissions in the health app on my iPhone to share the scale data with Carb Manager.
I've been thinking that as "SkinnyG," the older I get, the less skinny I am staying.
Mind you, scrolling through this thread, I'm pretty pleased that I finally got down to 153lbs, down from 167 at the start of the summer. Trying to hit 150. The trick is staying at 150.

Week 3 179.6 this morning, woohoo!
Today: 249.5
total -7.5
must stay disciplined. This loss of weight is directly timed with my not having had donuts for 2 weeks and this is making me both sad and upset but also healthier and lighter, which is a huge dilemma
also feeling way better since cutting out all lactose except for the small amount of cheese i eat
