Progress Reports- Tell us how you doing
 

Well, water weight is a nice confidence booster when you first cut back on eating and you do any exercise. Yesterday I was 255 today 250! It is always like this in the beginning. I will drop quite a few pounds the first two weeks. I am not complaining it helps me stay focused. I encourage all those who are attempting this to get a scale if you don't have one and weigh yourself as often as possible. It can be discouraging some days but it will keep you focused.

passed up the normal breakfast biscuit from mc donalds for a breakfast bar

did my 2 mile run and abs yesterday! Oatmeal and protien shake in the am!! GET IT!!!

i ate like a pig at the hotel buffet this morning man im a sucker for bacon and pancakes!!!

stay on track pox!

I had a pack of grits for breakfast along with my black coffee. Hitting up some subway for lunch...I could eat that every day!

Looking good guys! I think we got a good shot at this with all this support.

Pox! I need you to step it up bro! You don't have as much to lose but that doesn't mean you don't have as much to gain.

Every time i weigh my self i right it in a note book. So I see a long term avg.

Be careful!

You can rack up calories quick at subway!
Go to there website and they have a chart of everything they have and nutrition values.
Make you sandwich, before you go to subway. One healthy sandwhich I like to get is.....

Just trying to help y'all get a idea. That's just what I get, and it sure is GOOD!

?

It took awhile to write that up,,

Nice post Fishmaster! These are the kinds of things we can do to help each other out.

Instead of usig that trolling motor. Paddle

I eat a couple of biscuits for breakfast every morning, with a jelly called
Cajun Power. I like the Blackberry, but they also have Blueberry and
Strawberry. They have zero sugar and hardly any calories in it. Best part
is it taste just as good or better than jelly with sugar in it.
But, the downside to dieting, I had 3 of the biggest fried chicken wings
for lunch today, with a side of fried taters. Does Diet Coke cancel out
the fat in the wings?

I think you are on the right track with your jelly. The wings and taters not so much. If you are going to eat "bad" lunch time is the best time for it. That being said those babies are loaded with all the bad stuff you want to stay away from. Unfortunately, the diet coke only reduces the number of calories you consumed not eliminate the calories you consumed.

I was fishing and stopped at Cormie's to wash the boat. Everything they had there was fried and I didn't want to drive home and make a samich. I was bad. I will be better.
Tomorrow, baked or grilled fish for lunch.

I know about the Diet Coke thing. I was just being goofy. LOL

I just want to say I am no expert. I have lost a lot of weight in my life so I do know how to do it. I am also married to a registered dietitian so I do have the inside scoop. I have been replying to peoples' post because it helps me stay on track.

:*****: i like it

Hit up some Subway for lunch, I got the buffalo chicken w/ light ranch dressing and loaded it down with veggies to fill me up. I been drinking water like crazy to help keep me full since I have zero "snacks" at my desk and so I don't go to the vending machine.

Yeah I figured that but I forgot to put the lol after my statement. Sorry about that, it may have come across as condescending.

I too have been drinking a lot of water. It does help for a while but eventually your stomach is like feed me now! I figure it helps me with exercise too all those trips to the bathroom.:*****:

Ray majority of the time the have a turkey sandwhich on wheat bread in the cooler with all the sandwhiches!!!!! Thats the ticket...got fresh tomatoes and lettuce on it as well!!!

My problem, I don't like vegetables, like Lettuce and Maters.
I usually bring a couple sandwiches with me, no mayo, just mustard,
but I brought a couple of satsuma's instead. I ate them in the boat
but it wasn't enough. Tomorrow, I will bring a dozen or so. I love
fruit. I bought a sack of satsuma's on the way home from work just
South of Belle Chase. My supply got wiped out for Hurricane Rita.
My dad had a bunch of trees in Cameron.

75 sit ups on the ab lounge last night.


ran about a 1/2 mile today aswell.

I have said it before I will say it again. You da man FOOL!

Just got back from a 2 mile walk with the dog. Going to eat my oatmeal for supper and weigh it up tomorrow.

just polished off 50 sit ups for tonight...I guess i'm welcome here..i'm more so for a goal of exercising...

Not one diet coke today. That's a milestone for me, I drink em like water.

you know you are welcome here! if nothing else you will make all of us big dudes want to be smaller like you.

weight loss
 

I'm not as heavy as some but bigger than some others.
Was 6'1" @265 - 270 lbs. still 6'1" But have dropped to 245lbs.
thought i was getting good excercise at work. i am an electrician so i am on my feet walking and climbing ladders 8 hrs + a day.
My doc asked me how long i have been doing costruction work ?
my answer was , At least 30 yrs.
He informed me that i really wasn't getting any excercise at all???
After doing anything for an extended time your body gets used to it so it's no longer exercise.
My weight loss has been from getting sober. (55 days)
Was consuming mass quantities of jim or jack every night.
Lost 20 - 25 lbs in less than 2 months.
Now if i could make myself eat healthy i could probably drop another 25.:headknocker:

all right im not to motavated so its gonna be smal step with me and yall keep pushin me i need it im a lazy sob!!!. so im gonna give up soft drinks and only drink water, and if im gonna eat fast food it will be like subway or mcd's grilled snack wraps no fries or fried ****!!!

That's what I plan on doing. I'm on the road a few days a week so some days I have no choice but to eat at McD's or BK but from now on it's just grilled chicken wraps/sandwiches and a bottle of water.

go with the salad and chicken they have them at almost all the fast food places, go easy on the ranch and you CAN take off cheese if it's there. and bacon bites are a killer! Just eat the salad part.... ha, you can even get two if one dosent fill your needs stay away from all that bread!


-Over&Out!

eman, congratulations on the sobriety thing! My dad has been an alcoholic for the last 20 years so I know what you are going through. As far as the exercise thing....it can be as little as 30 minutes a day. You can even do it in 10 minute intervals.

Biscuits and Cajun Power jelly for breakfast.
2 satsumas for snack.
Looking at grilling some specks for lunch.
Not sure for supper. Wife wants sushi.

I love sushi! I always feel like i am eating healthy when i eat that stuff. Well, I guess I am eating healthy.

Breafest- A bagle with cinnamon& sugar; with a big glass of 2% milk.

Snack- A satsuma, we have a huge tree.....

lunch- Spicy tuna fish sandwich, with jalapeno peepers, white onion, and some spices... I be leave that truly works that if you eat more peepers it stop "im hungry signal" going to your brain.
ALSO only on ONE pice of 100% wheat bread. With a big glass of water..... YummmYummm

Anyone know where I can get some Crystal Meth? Ill loose 50 lbs by next week......lmao

But really? when is weigh in?

Spicy Sushi with crab, tuna, avacado, shrimp and topped off with fish eggs and some orange hot sauce.

Fantastic.

i too had sushi! It was delish.

I am not sure what to do about the weigh in. It would probably be best to do it on Friday afternoons. If we wait until monday everyone will have cheated over the weekend. I say that we start next Friday. Everyone can weigh in one the topic (pun intended). Lets see what everyone else thinks.

Fine with me... Sounds good

Have you been doing good cat? you must be losing some weight if you want to weigh in. lol

Two days without diet coke. Doin pretty good.

I tink...today trudging thru the marsh was exercise...so i did my work out for today!

I gotta mow the grass and change the oil in my wife's car today.
That is my exercise.

And I am going to drink diet beer instead of regular beer.

Well, I weighed this morning again. I weigh everyday and despite not exercising anything but my left arm jigging for trout I am down 10 lbs! I am at 245! I am getting ready to go for my 2 mile walk. Feeling good about this I am really excited to keep seeing results.
