Today is my 4th week Diet Anniversary

[prvteye2003]

That's right. Been treadmilling and eating right now for 4 weeks today. As of yesterday, I've lost 13 lbs. I feel so much better. I just wanted to share with the group!

congrats, what made you start dieting?

Felt like sh!t all the time, had no energy to do anything, just wanted to lay around all the time......take your pick. Plus, I got tired of the way I look. I don't look that bad but I'm tired of this gut that seems to protrude away from my body and makes me wear pants that are bigger and bigger. Except for the occasional hurting joints, I feel like I'm in my younger 20's again!

That's great! I've been eating correctly, not really dieting, but not eating huge meals anymore either. I started at 242 or so, and I'm down to 222 now, all through exercise.

that's good man. I eat mainly wheat bread, egg whites(egg beaters), protein bars and shakes(atkins stuff), drink nothing but water(10-12 glasses everyday), lean bacon, chicken, turkey, lean ham, yogurt, jello, dark green leafy salads, fruits (bananas, apples, oranges, strawberries). Stuff I stay away from is white bread, white flour tortillas, pasta, fried foods=(, microwave meals (hot pockets, etc.). Mainly just trying to eat low carbs and lots of protein. I try and keep my carbs below 130g/day and try and eat at least 130g of protein/day all with under 1500 calories. I had my RMR done(resting metabolic rate) and I can eat at least 1950 calories/day. I'm using this program called Balance Log to help me keep track of my daily calorie intake, which includes protein, carbs, and fat. It's a great program. I highly suggest it. I'm not a big treadmiller as some are in here. I do 2 miles/morning in 30 minutes. I also do some abdominal crunches before walking and also do some stretching beforehand. I eat a lot of protein right after walking so jumpstart the metabolism. It's been working for me anyway. I've got about 27 more pounds to go before I'm where I want to be at 170lbs. GOod luck to you radioouman.!

Good job bud I'm in the dieting stage too - although just trying to lose some bodyfat and get more cut for the summer. (It's been about 4 weeks for me too)
