182 lbs

I guess the 20 mile bike ride yesterday (uphill both ways ) and 3-1/2 miles on the treadmill this morning will make you gain 1/2 lb

Sure will if you are building muscle. I thought my about 4 mile walk today was bad, you are doing great doing that much exercise.

Make sure too you are not eating too few calories, and staying hydrated. Both can make your body hold on to every calorie.

That does remind me that I wanted to ask everyone what they were doing for their diet.

I'm trying to eat right & very little. I eat a lot of fat free yogurt (100 cal/serv), fresh fruit, home made chili or soup (this way, you know exactly what's in it), turkey sausage (ask Jim - it's fucking great!), a lot of water & only a couple of caffinated beverages to get me going in the morning.

As far as exercise, 3-4 times a week I allow this redhead & her 4 friends to beat the shit out of me doing silly looking maneuvers in my living room. 2 different height steps + 2 weights + DVD remote = fat guy dripping with sweat & giving up before the 40 min workout program is over.

I can't wait to see how it ends

Well - I've trying to cut out as much dairy, cheese, oils, hydrogenated fats and alcohol as possible.

Lots of fresh veges, fruit and grilled fish.

I found out yesterday that eating celery actually takes more energy out of your body than it gives - so if anyone's looking for a legal way of cheating - there you go

Exercise is on the up as well - I need a routine though

[HC-Majick]

Actually, I've been doing the treadmill/elliptical thing 6 days a week for the past 1 3/4 years. My problem is that I wasn't eating healthy. (Reese's cups are a major food group, aren't they? )
Since we've started this, I've kept the same gym routine, just upped the level a little, but I've changed my eating habits 100%. Lot's of veggies, chicken, and ground turkey, etc. Water and unsweetened tea, no soda at all. To help satisfy my sweet tooth, the GF has made quite a few deserts from the southbeach diet program, which are surprisingly good for being sugar free /fat free.

I should do my excersizes but because i am busy in the house, i wont touch the treatmill, what i am trying now is doing excersizing while i am painting, like holding in my stomach muscles for 15 seconds and i do that say 3 x 15 sets, i do the same with my belly. When i have all the time again, then it will be 45 minutes treatmill in the evening (because after that thing i will be playing dead) and in daytime i will use the leg magic, i will put it next to the living room door and everytime i walk thru the livingroom door i have to do a set of 20 times, this way i forche myself and the rest in the house to move our muscles.
As far for eating its for me steak, chicken, lettuce, fruit, yogurt, cheese, tomatoes, fish, eggs, carrots
Like for today, i have for lunch, 2 boiled eggs, 150gram of spinache (YUK) and a big tomatoe, for diner i will have a steak of 200gr with a couple of drops of lemon juice, further tons of water.

I'm a fat fuck

I try to go to the swimming pool/sauna every second day, the other days I'm doing crunches at home. It's raining constantly since two weeks so I can't ride bike or use skipping rope at all

I eat white bread with low fat ham/cheese & a cup of kefir for breakfast, home made soups in the midday, and milk+cornflakes or olives+mandels as supper (In the oposite what I'd have thought, lately I discovered they are both very caloric,especialy mandels, but also full of vitamins we need so much so I keep eating them)

I also try to drink as much home made fruit (and carrot) juices as possible

[Jim]

I just started eating like a normal person. That's all that is ever required with me. I do enjoy a good overeating.

This is me, I will do really well with eating, then go on a binge....like I did yesterday, so not weighing myself today, lol.

But lately I'm trying to walk at least an hour, 6 days a week. Every morning I have a Rockstar energy drink. That has really helped, I think the vit B and taurine, two things I don't get as a vegetarian, more so than the caffine. For breakfast I have either oatmeal, or fiber1 cereal with yogurt and soy milk.

Lunch I try to do a big huge salad. That way, I feel like I get to eat a lot for very little calories. I add pine nuts and/or low-fat feta for my protein to it.

Dinner I sometimes do a Palak Paneer tv dinner (about 300 calories) or garden burger and veggies. Sometimes we go out to eat and I do a quesadilla and salad.

So I'm trying to do a lot more veggies, less junk food. Although yesterday, i had a big bowl of chips and some cookies...must not bake those damn things again, I can't stay away.

I'm trying to snack on pumpkin seeds, or veggies, but I had a tuff couple of days and I reach for food...my addiction. It is a really hard one to break, and why I go up and down within a 3lb range.

[RedCherry]

I don't know if any of you are like me, but I'm a carb addict, and it reacts just like alcohol does to an alcoholic, once I eat some I want a LOT more. That is my biggest obstacle to dieting, I have to cut the carbs from everything but whole grains and veggies, or I set myself up to binge. I had a really rough day on Sunday, and I reached for food, and that is so hard to stop. I'm working on it, I'm glad there are others though by your up and down weight that struggle with eating too much too.

Hello all

I just wanted to tell you guys how I lost 25 lbs. ( it might help someone to get their goal)

I drink 10 -12 12oz cans of pop each and everyday . I did the math on calories and realized that I was drinking 1500 -1800 calories a day. On top of that I was eating 2500 calories a day in food.

So I changed to diet pop ( took me a while to find one I liked) but dropping that extra 1500 calories day did it.

I went from 210 lbs and wearing uncomfortably tight 38 in. jeans
to 185 lbs and wearing very comfortable 34 in. jeans over about 8 months .

would have come off faster if I would have exercised and watched what I was eating at the same time.

Hope this helps someone reach their goal

Good luck to all

WildBill

P.S. to all the Heads. The Munchies kills diet plans (I know this from Experience) LOL

Yeah, wiki's photo is really disgusting - I didn't now how they produce it so when I saw it I was a bit surprised too Obviously you don't have these grainss in your kefir

It tastes quite like a natural yoghurt but has a consistency of liquid so you can easily drink it. Depending on manufacturer its more or less sauer

[GMPcash-jack]

ha ha I had to catch up to papa first.

[stuveltje]

for years i did dieting counting the calories, now i do only low carb thing, still there are some issues with that, like the cholesterol thing (beats me how to write that in english, i just writed the word in dutch) and even you can drink alcohol low carb, still alcohol will keep pulling water from your body, if i drink diet coke with a low carb diet, i wont go to the toilet to pee as much when i drink just water, so a low carb diet does have issues and you have to watch them all, still with a low carb diet its handy you can switch to food you realy love or like,with calorie diet you cant, my food for day 3 will be for lunch a big piece of cheese, a boiled egg and a carrot, now boiled egg has no carb, if you have the right cheese it will have no carb too, only the carrot has a little carb thing say like 0.4gr, you have to eat the carrot because carrots will lower your cholersterol,also tomatoes do the same thing, so i get for calories about 450 inside my body, only for lunch, but for carb i get nothing, and you need the carbs for energy, so with a low carb diet and moving your butt, the kilos will fly away
And because i am still a bit upset about my grandma, i am moving my butt all day, i maybe sit on my fat ass one hour a day.......i have to get rid off my .........name it bad energy and then this is the right time to loose some weight and energy and i am painting and redecorating my ass off
