Turkey, avocado, provolone and green chilis on whole wheat is now my favorites healthy lunch thing ever.
That sounds awesome fup!Turkey, avocado, provolone and green chilis on whole wheat is now my favorites healthy lunch thing ever.
202.6 this morning.
I can't put into words how much better I feel physically and mentally already after just 2. 5 weeks.
I think this is what I'm having for lunch today.Turkey, avocado, provolone and green chilis on whole wheat is now my favorites healthy lunch thing ever.
Yessirrrrr! Never thought sub 200 before Disney could be a reality, but I think it might be now.Soon! That number will start with 1
You've got this buddy. I'm looking at 220's this week. And I've done nothing but cut out some crap food, and shrink the portion size. I bring my lunch daily so that nulls out fast food.
I'm in the same boat. Hitting a minor stall. Same weight for last 3 days. Have eaten healthy all 3 days and got in some exercise as well. I know if I stick to it, the weight will have to drop.Today was one of those frustrating scale days. Ate better than I have been, was at the gym 3 days plus a lot of moving around this weekend, and I'm right where I started last week. I know that number isn't everything - I "feel" like I've lost weight otherwise, but it's frustrating. But I've got a plan that's worked for me in the past, and I'm going to keep sticking with it - I know the results will be there eventually.

I got down about 40 pounds and then put on 7. I have lost 5 of those 7 over the last 2 weeks and my ultimate goal is another 30. I am not going to go crazy like last time as I don't think that is sustainable. Instead focusing on fruits, veggies, and lean protein. Trying to cut out as much junk as possible. It has to be a lifestyle change if I ever want it t o work.

This is what we have been focusing on and it seems to work well for us. I just wish I could get a fitness component in the mix.

As someone that travels like I do, its harder than most to stay that way. But if you work at it, as you have, it can absolutely be done.
I have to admit, I'm extremely happy we are splitting these topics into separate threads because the conglomeration is a large reason I stopped posting about any of my goals/day-to-day and as such it cost me a good motivational tool in this forum.
After the Doc and I having Lotte its been the battle most parents face, you eat what you can when you can and add to that my wife having the ability to eat WAY more calories than me thanks to nursing, I fell into a deep hole I thought I was over with.
This past sunday I hit 211.2, and frankly I couldn't be more disgusted or pissed off about it, its a far cry from the 245+ I was at when still coaching football and S&C, but still, at one point I had it down to 198 and then got complacent. I've lost 20+ via weight watchers and also 20+ by Atkins and I believe firmly that both work. This time though for me my schedule necessitates something different so I'm doing it the much more basic way, off of my BMR I am cutting my daily caloric intake to 1800 with the emphasis being on whole foods (and still trying to keep the carbs around 200g or less daily) and combining it with carrying when playing 3 times a week and jogging for 30+ 3 days a week. Facts are facts, running a deficit in calories while still getting the nutrients you need will yield results.
I'm a new convert to myfitnesspal and I effing LOVE it. Four days in and I hit 207 this morning, the goal for me is 190 or below by #TheGrandaddy, and it will happen. Plus, the deal with my wife has always been if I can hit 190 then I can get the ink I want, and thats a very important goal for me emotionally speaking. Plus, I want to be the healthiest I have ever been for Lotte. I've done the strength training and bulking muscle for literally almost 20 years of my life and I'm so over it is isn't funny. My daughter won't give a crap what I max, she will only care that I'm around.
Freaking LOVE this thread.
After a really bad Labor Day weekend of not watching what I ate, tried to get back into it yesterday and at least burned off what I had put on. Now it's back to business. It's amazing how quickly you get used to sugar (and how quick you feel the withdrawal effects) when you remove most of it from your diet. Yesterday was rough.

As the father of a Type 1 diabetic, and having 5 immediate family members that are Type 2 I have a some thoughts on your struggles. I am guessing you are Type 2, and hopefully with the weight loss you can at least reduce your management requirements and potentially reduce if not completely get off insulin and any insulin resistance meds. Not necessarily the case, but regardless it will greatly improve your management of this disease and improve your health.The best part about MFP, if you get a Fitbit, they sync together so you can see how many calories you can have after doing some walking or something like that. That is if you are going out to dinner or something and want to splurge a little more. I've got the regular Fitbit, but I'd love to have the HR. My only "beef" with MFP is some of the stuff is hard to track. I bring a salad to work every day and I'm not sure exactly how much I bring. So how do I honestly track that? I will use it here and there then come to a point where I say "eff it" and stop tracking because I can't figure out how to put what I ate into it.
I didn't read the whole thread, but from the looks of it, I'm the anchor around here. I weighed in at just under 280 a couple weeks back. Being a diabetic isn't helping any. My doc prescribed some insulin a few months back. I started taking it and noticed I was hungrier and was putting weight on. I mentioned this to her and she said "Yep insulin will do that to you." So being a diabetic I need to lose weight, yet you knowingly prescribe something that will cause weight gain? Oh well that's a rant for another time.
My wife and I did the South Beach Diet a little more than 4 years ago. We were doing it, 1. to get healthier and 2. for her to get pregnant. We each lost about 30 pounds. Once she got pregnant, we both fell off the wagon. I put on all the weight and then some. Then after Andrew was born, we didn't have time to make a healthier meal or to exercise. I need to figure something out though. I'm 115 pounds heavier than I was when I graduated high school 14 years ago.
Pick a day and time and weigh yourself the same time every week. Your weight will fluctuate from your to hour, day to day. You will get a more accurate weight if you do it once a week. Just ignore the scale the other 6 days. I yell at my husband for doing the same thing.I'm in the same boat. Hitting a minor stall. Same weight for last 3 days. Have eaten healthy all 3 days and got in some exercise as well. I know if I stick to it, the weight will have to drop.
