I thought the graph think was great. It helps you have a visual limit and rings a visual bell when you begin to bump the curve. I use my phone to track my weight. It is a Samsung and the health app is excellent.
I have drastically cut down on dairy and wheat. I am trying to cut down on chocolate, beer and crisps and of those 3, the crisps is the big one for me. I am not a big beer drinker (at most, a handful of bottles at the weekend) and chocolate is actually not too bad, its the chocolate based bars which are killers.

For exercise, i cycle to work. ( 10 miles per day) and this has had a huge effect. I am no Chad (google it) but i manage ok.
I have lost 2 stone since xmas. My resting heart rate has gone from mid 70's to high 50's.

I have hit a wall though. I am still overweight and would love to lose another stone but this seems to be a challenge. At the moment, i put on the weekend what i lose through the week lol.
I don't beat myself up for failing, its when i don't try that i knock myself and rightly so. I have a responsibility to myself and my family to help myself stay healthy.

Today i am 190lbs. My target is 175.
I think i will add my current weight as i go on to my sig. Nothing like a punch in the face every morning to keep you on your toes!

Onwards and upwards we (both) shall go

Nice shave Joseph. Love the Dovo and all the gear.

I'm anticipating answers of a slightly rolled edge/burr area to work through if the grit feeling is only on one side of the blade. Or, there actually is some 'no see um' grit getting moved around. When I run into this, I rinse the stone, and lightly go over it with a flattening stone, then continue after creating another slurry. HTH.

You know the solution to your unwanted belly growth. It is more output, than input. At 61, I was in Obese Category 1, and at 64, I am slightly overweight. I work out six days a week and at times 2x in one day. I never went to the gym after high school and up to age 61. You can do it. These pics are when I was at my heaviest. I am at low 170's.

Another amazing photo, Blair! Terrific!

Thanks, Gary!

Blair great honing job and wonderful shave!
