    I haven't been able to get much traction with eating better lately so I decided to start a log as this has been helpful for me in the past.

    The gory details:

    [b]Weight:[/b] 254 pounds
    Age: old
    Height: 5'11"
    Maintenance calories: 2650

    [b]Target weight:[/b] 175 pounds
    Target loss: 1.5 pounds/week
    Target calories (average): 1900/day


    For now I'll mostly be focused on diet and not exercise. I'll go deeper into some of my background and current challenges as this log progresses. I'm going to try to eat healthy foods and limit alcohol but my primary focus will be on averaging 1900 calories/day or less regardless of macros and micros. And there will be some beer and wine consumed.

    I plan to post a log for every day even if I don't post ITT every day. I commit to posting the bad days including any blow ups. I usually jump on the scale every day but Fridays will be when I plan to record my progress.

    I'll try to post the actual foods and quantities but some days if time is a constraint I'll probably just post the calories.

    Thanks Rexx.

    I just edited to add 8 oz watermelon that I had with lunch. The calories were logged but I forgot to write in the watermelon here.
