Weight Loss Tracking Thread For All

[Blackjack200]

So, in May I weighed 240 lbs. (I'm 5'11) and went on a diet. 5 months later I'm at 195.

The biggest thing for me is to keep that weight off; I think if I keep a bit of a tracking thread going, it will help cut down on cheating and such. If anyone else wants to track their diet/weight loss, feel free, I think it will help if we can support/play off each other.

For now, just edit your original post for each update, that should make the thread much easier to read. If a few people want to do this maybe we can petition for a sticky.

Long term goal: 175 pounds

Short term goal: Beat my current low water mark of 190 lbs.

Oct. 6th: 195 lbs.
Oct. 7th: 194 lbs.
Oct. 8th: 194 lbs.

Diet: Went off diet at lunch time. DAMN. An old co-worker was in town and wanted to get Chinese and of course there's NOTHING on the menu that's healthy. I had a pork dish that I'd estimate at 1000 calories :| My own fault, but it's critical that I get through the week, and weekend without going off diet again. The weekend is key because I've had a few binges recently during the weekends, and it's something that I've got to squash.

Breakfast: 1 cup of milk blended with ON Whey Protein, banana
Lunch: Hunan Pork at Chinese Restaurant
Dinner Can of Goya Black Bean Soup, whole wheat roll, apple


Additional Calories: orange, frozen peas and carrots with lite salad dressing

Edit: (corrected the date )

To Socially Challenged: Thanks. Each can of beans has 40 grams of dietary fiber, so I'm getting 80 grams of dietary fiber from the beans, and whatever is in the fruit. I know I'm missing some vitamins by not eating salad - I'm trying to work it in. I love nuts and do eat them sometimes, but every time I've tried to vary this diet additional calories have krept in, so I'm not sure how I'm going to resolve that yet.

To damage424: Yes, I've read it. I don't have time to go to the gym right now (45 hours/week work, playing for 4 sports teams, studying for LSAT, etc.) so I'm focused on the diet. Congrats on your weight loss, that's remarkable.

I'm not loosing weight right now, but jeez, man. Your diet is practically all a liquid one. Incorporating more fiber and more fat (especially healthy fats from nuts, fish, olive oil, etc) will help keep you full. Leafy greens are especially good because they have very few calories. I wouldn't advise you to stay on your current meal plan right now. You're missing a lot of good natural foods that could be making your weight loss easier and make you feel better.

Did you read the fat loss sticky guide? You should read up on that if you haven't already.

Here is what I ate yesterday to give you an idea:
old fashioned oatmeal with crushed walnuts
chicken breast with brown rice and onions and garlic (x3)
Tuna fish with chopped onions and extra virgin olive oil
handful of nuts at evening
whey protein (x2)

Diet is huge. I weighed 250 lbs on may 25 and started my diet the next day. Today, I'm 174 at 15% body fat (body fat % is a little high for my taste but will go down).

Eat clean, work hard, get lean.
