Been weighing myself every day and putting it into a spreadsheet (along with the other stats my scale tells me.)

I can't really say I've done much. 15 days I have recorded on my spreadsheet (since Sept 1st). I've worked out on 9 days (need that to be, well, 15 days not 9) and I've hit my food goal on only 3 days (lol). My food goal is simple - don't eat a lot at night. Easier said than done since I'm an insomniac and being up til 4am is routine, up to 6 am happens, and more than once a month I got without sleep or very little sleep (30-60 minutes). That's a lot of awake hours. I know why getting 8 hours of sleep at night is good for weight lose, now if my body and mind would just fricken' sleep!

I don't count calories or follow any plan, but when I was able to lose weight last year, I simply did my best to only eat a few pieces of fruit at night, or a bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit, or a cup of yogurt, etc. I lost seven pounds (240 to 233) in one month last year by exercising most days and just watching what I ate at night, only to put it all back on and then some.

I eat a lot. I know I don't need a plan or to count calories. I just need to stop eating a lot. And I need to exercise more. It really is so simple....like most things in my life, even to just get the simple things done I have to keep telling myself "Just fucking do it already! It'll get done if you just fucking do it! Why are you not doing it!?!?"

On Sept 1st, I weighed 247.4 (personal record!). I don't know what my goal is. Whatever looks good when I get there, but I suspect I'm looking at trying to get to around 200. I'm 5'10" with a decent amount of muscle on me, I just have a more than decent amount of fat on top of it.

1st Week Averages
Weight: 246.2
Body Fat %: 37.34%
Muscle %: 29.31%
Resting Metabolism: 2165.4
Visceral Fat: 16.4 (on a scale of 1-20....20 being bad)

2nd Week Averages
Weight: 245.8 (-0.4)
Body Fat%: 36.87% (-0.47%)
Muscle %: 29.59% (+0.18%)
Resting Metabolism: 2164.9 (-0.6)
Visceral Fat: 16.0 (-0.4)

(I have no idea the accuracy of those other stats - or even weight really - they are just the numbers my scale spits out at me)

All moving in the right direction, but all small changes. Need to actually...you know....do something.
