Weighed in today GOOD NEWS

[Ulfwald]

I weighed in at Gold's gym today. been controlling my diet, and been doing some serious exercise the past few months.

Since August, and weighing 370 lbs at the time, I hve now lost 51 lbs. I am now down to 319. I am not following any fad diet. I am just controlling my diet, rearranging my eating habits (as in 6 small meals a day), and actually doing some weight training and cardiovascular exercise.

What got me started on this? My son, and that during my last physical in July, my Dr. told me I was on the verge of developing diabetes. and my 20 year class reunion is coming up

Some of the easiest things I have cut out of my diet:

Wendy's value meals,
Cokes (and other sodas)
all other fast foods.
Most Deserts

Hardest things to cut out:
Pasta, (I love spaghetti)
Pizza
Red Meat (I love steaks and smoked BBQ)
Ice Cream (love that chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream)


So for all you folks who are struggling with a weight problem, it can be done. I have 95 more lbs to go. and I am going to keep going so I am not totally embarrassed at my reunion

Congrats! I'm about 40+ what I wanna be, hence my earlier article on getting some home exercise equipment... although it looks like the good stuff is wicked expensive The summer is coming, my pool is calling... gotta look good in trunks

Congrats. I'm also on a diet and excercise program... just started 2 weeks ago, and so far so good. Wife asked me to join her in the ediets.com program which I wasn't too thrilled about but was willing to give it a shot so she'd be able to stick with it. More happy that I'm back to my biking again. So far ~5lbs and 2% body fat down. I don't really have a goal though, other than to stick to the lifestyle change as long as possible. It's tough, I miss:

Candy (M&M's) - I still eat 'em now and then just in vastly reduced amounts.
Soda (Root Beer)
Portions of food I used to think were normal, so I'm hungry a lot (but it seems to be a little better)
Fast Food choices
Pizza

I don't like about dieting:
Too much salad, not enough (but some) bread.

Things I like so far:
New foods to try
Not really banning anything, just working within the caloric goals of 12-1300/day = ~3-400/meal.
It's working thus far.

You should add beer/liquor to your list. Save money and calories FAST!

 

[Ulfwald]

GT,

I am not sure if you saw my thread a while back, but I am now allergic to alcohol, so that has not been and issue at all.
