Wow, that's alot! Congrats

Thanks. I have a lot left to lose. But it's a start. Hoping I can sweat some off in this heat. I have been trying to eat veggies for snacks, or protein.

I'm 5' 8" , 145lbs and lean not much padding on me....one reason my hip broke the 1st time. Most of you guys were kidding about bubble wrap but I think I might need some.

I have a new scale for body fat and etc. It connect to my phone and the app tells me I should weigh 136 for my height of 5'7. I have never weighed that low! I would definitely be skin and bones at that weight.

I am 5'6" . I need to be a lot taller!

And be less disgusted by myself.

Stop that!
17 pounds IS a lot and you should be proud of that accomplishment. I understand being uncomfortable in your own body but don't be disgusted with yourself. Healthy people actually do come in lots of different sizes. Just work towards health.

That's the thing about those stupid numbers. You can have a body builder with less than 5% body fat and his BMI says he needs to lose weight because he is 6 ft tall and weighs 200 pounds of very lean muscle! WTH?

Good Morning All!

I'm 5'11" and 210 lbs. but 30 pounds of that has come on this summer and I eat very little. Don't know what that is about.

I am working normal hours today-- 8-4:30 with a half hour lunch.

The quail are doing great! They do not like the hot weather and drink a lot of water

Yes they do! I had three 1.25 gallon waterers for mine and had to fill them every morning and often refresh them in the evening too.

This is the first loss to a predator since the bobcat a few years ago and before that was the year of the Bear. All of the previous kills have been mangled and not for eating. This one was clean and just dead. Not much different than doing it myself.
We don't have packs of coyotes, just singles or pairs every now and then.
