Monday morning weigh in
Here we go:
This morning I weighed in at a even 195. Last week I had very little exercise but was real busy so the calories were burning. I had a 4 day road trip in da truck driving out to Virginia to see my son so my food was not good but better now that I am trying to eat better. Di and I took food along on the way out so it was sandwiches and water. I only had Mc.D's once and really hope to never have it again,,,it stunk. Went for pizza yesterday and had 3 pcs instead of my usual 5. This weight loss is really a hard thing but I tell you it is so worth it and I am just as determined as the day I posted the thread. I hope we can all stay motivated because we are at the point now where we will want to give up. Come on people, I can tell by the activity on this thread that we may be loosing motivation.
LETS ALL CHECK IN REGARDLESS OF LOSS OR GAIN. LETS NOT BECOME DISCOURAGED WHERE WE JUST FIZZLE OUT. WE'RE ALL WORTH THE EFFORT AND NEED EACH OTHER!!!!

Well I have been reading this thread from the start, and well....I started on my own on the 11th Can I join the group??
I am down 5lbs so far even with going to a 3 day convention last week. I did real good at the convention which I thought was going to be real hard with buffet breakfasts, lunch and dinners for 3 days. But I was real good, I chose oatmeal, fruit and yogurt skipped the stuffed french toast, pancakes and omelets for breakfasts. Lunch were pretty easy salad for 2 days and no bun with the hamburger just had it on the plate with a big salad day 3. The dinners I passed on the potatoes, bread, gravy and desserts, I ate the lots of the veggies and went easy on the meat. Cocktails well...straight whiskey and martinis seemed to be my best choice
All in all a good week for me
This week I'm stepping up the walking

Well, I knew I was going to regret the Molson Canadian and standing rib roast from yesterday.
Up another pound. So far I am plus 3.
Up another pound. So far I am plus 3.
Week #3 for me, how fast a week goes buy.Well had a friend in town so of the 7 days of the week Sat. was my only late night eating was suppose to meet Scottiking at the Bug Bar for dinner, he was running late so we went ahead and ate at 8:30. For bar food I had a 1/2 order of nacho supreme, 1/2 order of cauliflower and ate 1/2 of each!Must say though it was a hard week for me, I need to attend sugarholic meetings, I know it's bad ,I feel like crap but I continue to use,(I've been clean and sober for 25 years from all my past loves) just having a hard time on this last addiction food! Lenny I'm soooo glad you started this thread, though I hate the thought of the scale on Monday, I also thank you for keeping me motivated and accountable! I've been in every weight loss program there is and accountability works for me.Can't afford to join one now and this is free, we can help motivate each other, praise the losses, laugh at the gains and try and turn them around. So this week must admit I didn't try hard but knowing accountability Mon. was in the weeks future I did ok,down another 1#, yaaahhooo. Xs 2 on your post, welcome aboard Linda! Come on peeps let's see your gains and or losses, it's all about accountability, the only one you cheat is yourself, by cheating!

Nope! Maybe it's just a lot of quiet determination. Grant Hoar - Standing rib roast? Now I'm hungry. I'm really relating to rev500. He started out within a pound of my starting weight. Sure wish I could have his success.
The weird thing is, this little adventure is actually changing my behavior in small ways. I actually think about what I'm eating now but the changes haven't been drastic. Maybe a few less carbs but just more exercise and less intake. I don't want to get to the point where I'm feeling seriously deprived (or is it depraved?). Here's the tally for the first month:
Week 1 = 3 lbs.
Week 2 = 2 lbs.
Week 3 = 2 lbs.
Week 4 = 3 lbs.
First Month Total = 10 lbs = 4.2%
If things slow down, maybe I'll try that martini approach

Ended up losing 1 lb for the week,13 lbs total loss or 6.95 %. Happy considering how much eating out I did. When I was in Iowa I went to the Olympic Wrestling Trials in Iowa City to cheer on my managers son in his bid to go to London Games this year for the United States Greco-Roman wrestling team at 74kg and he won so he will be competing in the Oympics this year. Was a great weekend.

Iam kinda bummed, my new diet worked well the first 2 or 3 weeks but i am stuck at 260lbs its not going up so i guess thats good. Still eating properly but i have to kick it up a notch on the exercise.
Nothing new to report. I haven't gained, but I haven't lost in the last 2 weeks either. I am still exercising a minimum of 4 days a week, usually 5-6. I find myself cheating a little more in my diet, need to cut that out. Not discouraged though. It's not going to fall off in a month, it took longer to put it on. Keep up the good work everyone!
Wk5 (started March 26 @213) 206. No EXCESS sugar for 5 weeks., but eat more (good for you) food than I did before. Real milestone today, I walked away from frozen ice cream Snickers bars today 1/2 priced!!! I did stare at them a few minutes and as I started to shake, thought of all of you. By the way, these are my favorite and on several occasions have polished off two boxes in 1 sitting!

after a week I could not drop anything got the scale going in the right direction again yesterday!
week 1- 6lbs
week 2- 8lbs
week 3- +1.4
week 4- 9lbs
TOTAL= 21.6lbs (5.4% body weight loss)
I started my own diet back in Jan. and I set a goal to try to lose 20lbs a month for 5 months. Glad to see i hit the 20lb mark again as this is my third straight month and I have 27 lbs to lose to hit the 100 lb mark with just over 2 full months left to do! Then I want another 50-70 lbs and then I will be happy just to maintain it right there! Keep up the good work people!
