First of all, I used my hacking skills to determine stickaz is 6'1" tall! I was hoping you'd turn out to be 5'5" or something but so it goes
and then...

Understatement of the century man. Glad you figured it out - far too easy to coast along on your newfangled "bicycles"
I was eating like four solid meals a day and still got down to this weight by running a stupid amount.
And finally - congratulations man!! What's your end goal here?

I just want a 'safe' blood cholesterol/triglyceride reading once or twice
maybe last year I thought I could be a 'fast' tri person than I noticed my run was off-the-charts slow
, so that goal up there ^^ became my primary onebeing a mid-packer is ok with me [but I will do my best in the pool :D]

Nice! Soon you'll be posting shirtless all over the forums.
I finally dipped back under 160 the other day. Hoping I can see 155 on the scale by the 20th.

The trick is to sign up for a 100 mile race in mid-May. That's great motivation to drop weight in a hurry!
wait a minute...
but seriously, that's like six weeks away. What's going on?

Re: apparently I have figured out how to lose weight finally

Efforts to shake the winter weight have been half-hearted so far. I think when I get some outdoor miles in, that'll change, as those are usually longer workouts.
I fell back into the sugar vortex, though. I'd shaken it pretty well over the summer.
Here I am, gathering parts to weight weenie a couple of my bikes while I can lose weight from myself for free.

I've been finding the best way to keep the winter weight off is to sign up for a marathon in early Spring.
Seriously though, anything to keep us motivated is a good thing.

Re: apparently I have figured out how to lose weight finally

1600 is pretty low even for someone at 180 and exercising. You could try different foods or bumping up the calorie intake slightly (depending on your current weight). 1-2 weeks with no change is normal; 2+ weeks is where many will make adjustments to the routine.
I'd be surprised if your body composition hasn't improved, irregardless of 0 weight loss.

You also run a ton. 3 miles at our pace is ~360 calories.
30 min on the weights is 180-200ish calories, depending on frequency/intensity.

Re: apparently I have figured out how to lose weight finally

I think [just being honest] the real reason I wasnt losing weight was I had/have/still have no idea how many calories I eat.
Eg eat 3000 calories, [but I thought it was 2200] and I dont lose weight rather it goes up.
Burn an extra 800 calories in there as the fudge-factor and it works out to at least not gain weight
then figure out how to eat fewer calories [I know, this shouldnt be challenging, dur], and even if your supposed 2000 calories is actually 2500 and your base-metabolism burns like 1500 or whatever if you burn off another 800 calories I guess you'll drop weight finally.
But it's that fudge-factor of the burning-off-the-calories that seems to permit errors on the intake side

I found calorie counting worked for me, plus 2-3 days in the gym plus a cardio day each week (Hockey).. Lost a decent amount since early Dec plus getting stronger in the gym. Feels good.

Weight != fat
Also, to prevent catabolism on a calorie restricted diet, up the protein. And lift. Not hard.

I'm still stuck at 188.
That said, I'm thinking the thousands of pushups, chin-ups and kettlebell swings that were done over the winter, along with a decent protein intake might have put on a bit of muscle mass.
THAT said, the belly is bigger than it was in the summer. 43 in a couple of weeks and I'm thinking it's getting harder to drop weight with every passing year.

I'm fairly steady in the 196-197 range. Ideally, I want to be 190. I was cutting out a few things, upping my cardio game etc. and I was getting no where.
Oddly, it seems the minute winter ended, I dropped 2 pounds in a week where I didn't go as hard as usual. My body is weird.

187# last night
i was noticing my pullup sets are getting easier and it's probably not because I'm getting stronger trying to schedule another hydrostatic weighing, guessing I'm 16-17% BF now [was 19.2% last oct I think I did it last]. My end-goal here was ~15% looks like I'll be able to nail that pretty easily this year weee

hopefully my weight trending slightly up is a good thing, will see with next hydro-weigh in in a couple months
looking at the data, my average weigh-in for 2015 was 190# more or less on the nose. post holiday break I weighed in at 191# last night after dinner. Not too bad I think. Targetting holding 190 all year and lowering BF%, should be around 14.x now, we'll see I guess
