April was an extremely busy month. I was able to at least get to the gym and get some miles in, however, my diet has been garbage. I'm up to 228.4 as of this morning. A buddy challenged me to a goal of 210 by August 1. So, I'm now motivated (and have a financial incentive) to make the weight...
Still hovering around the 220 mark. Strength continues to improve in the gym, and my mile times are slowly dropping. I'm feeling good about where I'm at. My clothes are fitting better too.

Down to 218.4 this morning. Tracking calories has been helping me keep with carnivore and paying more attention to what I eat

Still hovering around 221-222lbs. Weighed in at 221.4 this morning. I'm getting stronger in the gym, but weight is not coming off.
I started counting calories today to try to get an estimate of where I'm at. I've been taking almost daily pictures and need to do a comparison to see if anything...
Lots of great posts in this thread. I'll echo what others have said:
1. Drink something like water/tea/coffee that has no sweeteners or additives. Chances are you may just be more thirsty than hungry.
2. Try going for a quick walk, or something to break up your focus on hunger. It's not always...

I have an Instinct and it does everything I need it to: easy to read display and time, track runs/hikes/MTB rides, and basic smartphone notifications. Battery...
If you want/need the extra waterproofing of not having the zipper, I would go with the Unaweep. Otherwise, I would go with the Kenai. You can always add a talon (unless something changes that I'm not aware of). The full zipper is nice when loading/unloading/using the pack in day mode.

The MSR Windburner gets high praises as a jetboil like system.
The Soto Windmaser or Amicus are good alternatives with a little more flexibility. I personally use an Amicus with a 750ml Toaks Titanium pot. It's a light weight system and it all fits within the pot. I believe the MSR also nests...
March 1 weigh in: 221.6 pounds. Put's me down at about a pound/week. Goal for March is to get down to 215. When I stick to my diet this month, I should be able to get there. February was all over the place in terms of diet. So I'm hoping that tightening it up will get me to 215.
Running a Fast Eddie XL Double Pin. Gets me out to 40 yards on the second pin. Top pin is set at like 24 yards. I've been really happy with this setup. I may consider the triple stack in the future for that added 3rd pin, but for now, I'm not seeing enough value to add it.
Had some unexpected weightloss over the weekend. I came down with an upper respiratory infection on Saturday and proceeded to sleep/not eat for the entire weekend.
Weighed in this morning at 223.6. Using this bit of weightloss to get me back on track and hopefully keep the trend moving down. I...
Got my Hinge 2 in today. I'm making the switch from a wrist strap release. So far it seems very nice. The adjust-ability for the click and fire are very adjustable. I have a ways to go to get used to this style of release. I'm noticing it's a very long process, but I think I'm figuring out how...
228 this morning. I've been struggling over the weekend and yesterday was pretty good. I just need to stay consistent on the diet.

Is it doable? Yes. Would it be fun? Probably not. I dabbled in carnivore/zero carb last year for about 2 months. I found by the end of the 2 months my endurance seemed to be better than ever and I didn't get sore after workouts. Based on keto and carnivore, I still feel keto includes too many...
That's a very impressive gear list! Well done!
I'm in Phoenix, AZ but typically hunt early archery in Colorado and late season muleys here in AZ. I've based my gear list on hunts with nights in the mid-20's. I can always drop the extra layers if I know it's going to be warmer.
This is my base...
Just a quick update for me. I've been struggling and hovering around 228-229. Going to stick with a keto 75 hard to push through.

Never heard of it until last night, but jumping in on day 1 today. Ive been consistent in the gym and on my bike, but need a little extra push on the diet and reading. So this seems to align with what I'm trying to do. Current plan is:
5/3/1 lifting in the morning before work (off days will be...
It is a hard journey. I am right there with you. The daily fluctuations suck. But, if you're good on your diet, then let the scale do its thing. If you are looking better in the mirror, thats more important than what the scale says.

I'll eat whatever for breakfast lol.

Couple things that stood out to me this year:
Replaced a Sawyer Mini + 2L CNOC bag with a 3L Katadyn BeFree Bag & Filter. Significantly faster flow rate with an easier way to hang the bag at camp. Gained like 3oz, but well worth it.
Soto Amicus stove + 750ml Toaks Pot - Can nest the stove and...
