Ok- run amock weekend. Went to my favorite restaurant and had a huge Chimay beer and a huge tureen of mussels cooked in Lobster bisque. I'm afraid to weigh after this- up to 194. I really hate my metabolism.

Probably a good idea, before starting the ACV. Even those urgent care places can do them quickly and at about the same cost as your primary doc. They all pretty much draw blood and send it to a local lab. You just have to tell them you want to know about everything from the blood work.

Honestly I should probably just go see a doctor. I did not like the last guy I saw so I have been putting off finding a new one since I hate the process. |

Hit a really nice groove over the weekend.
211.2 lbs Friday AM 210.4 lbs Saturday AM 209.2 lbs Sunday AM and.... 208.8 lbs this morning. I'm expecting this little burst to end soon, since it's not water weight and it's pretty rapid, but hopefully when it ends I don't bounce back up much and resume slow progress from this point. We're leaving to visit family in SC and FL on May 11. MAN IF I COULD LOSE 2.3 lbs per week over the next month I could cross 200lbs by then. Walking 30 minutes every day it's not raining now with pushing Jasper in his stroller. 1/4 walk up a steep hill, 1/4 down a steep hill. So I get a nice burn when going up the hill twice. Abandoned my every-3 day workout on that dumb cheap cable machine, doing just doing push-ups and curls every other day now. Did 70 push-ups and curls yesterday. Once I cross 200lbs I'll look into a pull-up bar. |

I had a bad weekend here, mostly anticipated though. I spent the weekend with my parents, and Mom loves to feed me like I'm still a teenager. I don't even want to know what my weight is this morning. Myfitnesspal was all but screaming at me all weekend. On the bright side, this was my first bad fall from the wagon since I began myfitnesspal 45 days ago.
I'll be back on track today. Looking forward to getting back on the bike in a few hours. |

Re-lost the 4 pounds I gained the week before, but slipped up a bit over the weekend. I swore I'd get back on track today and was doing good until I spotted the Krispy Kreme donuts in the break room. I really wish I had better self control with food.

I do really well on the exercise side of my fitness plan. The diet side, however, is a whole 'nother matter. |

They come out with all these great meal plans with awesome sounding food, but hell, when you are gone from the house 12 out of 15 waking hours, it doesn't exactly leave you much time for cooking. |

I travel for work and I try to find an entrée that has something I don't like. For example, a vegetable. Otherwise, it's awfully tempting to have steak or a pasta in cream sauce and a Cherry Coke. |

I'm not having trouble with the diet-It's the no alcohol during the week that is killing me ! Back down to 194 last night.

I haven't cut anything out of my diet. I'm just consuming less. Beer, sweets, junk...it's all in there. I don't feel deprived at all.
Down to 209 and change this morning. We'll see where I stand saturday morning. |

Just back from my ride, 30.44 miles in 1:30:43 for a 20.1 mph average. Fastest ride this month. Maybe because I was pissed after getting run off the road by a logging truck.
272 miles for the month but not much weight loss yet. |

I slacked hard this semester and feel like crap about it. I don't do well on protein diets, well it's harder for me stick to them because I don't eat meat and I eat chicken once every few months... Last time I tried doing a protein diet I was eating only steamed fish, steam zuccchini, and tomatoes. The moment I was in ketosis (ketostix, which have been a pretty indicator for me since I always use them from day 1 and it's always negative first day and after a few days I see the ketone levels go up), it was the darkest level on the ketostix, took me about 6-7 days? I wasn't hungry, but my mom said I look pale and bloated. I had no appetite and felt really sick like I was about to puke. I lost 5 lbs, mom told me to eat something with carbs in it. Gained back 4 the next day Did the dukan diet with mom and sister, I lost the least amount of weight, I actually only lost weight the first 2 days on the diet and my weight just remained the same for the next 2 weeks on the diet. Again, I was very bloated on this diet too. I drink water, so it's not sodium. Whey protein makes me bloat too.. I had good results when I included bread on my diet, never felt weak/nauseous, and worked out hard. But I am wondering if I'll have better results if i cut out all grains, add more (healthy) fat, and greens. Just don't want to feel like crap/bloated/weak like i did last time. |

I'm losing BETTER by ONLY sticking to a calorie goal tha I ever debt sticking to a carb goal or anything else. That being said, I am maximizing my fiber and minimizing sugar by simply making smart choices. I use high-fiber low-carb tortillas for my lunch wraps. I use a protein powder by Met-RX that is nto sweetened with sugar and has little carbs for my breakfast shakes. My mid-morning snack is a Fiber-One bar. I avoid rice and pasta at dinner and limit carbs to a little bit of flour for breading, fresh salsa with little sugar, wine used for cooking, etc. But some dinners I do have carbs. Having breakfast tonight and I will have 2 pieces of toast. Over the past week of another rapid weight-loss grove (from 211.6 lbs ON April 11th down to 206.6 lbs as of this AM) I have average 1550 calories, just a hair under my set goal of 1600 per day. My carbs have average 115g per day, a low of 72 and a high of 164g. Of that, my sugar has averaged 40g per day. My fat has averaged 70g, with a low of 48g and a high of 95g. My protein has averaged 120g per day. Extreme low-carb like Atkins can call for 20g or less of carbs per day. But really, anything less than 100g is "low-carb" IMO. So if you need carbs, EAT THEM. Be smart and eat fiberous foods and avoid eating a ton of sugar i.e. cookies. If eating in a certain way makes you tired and weak, don't do it. I would suggest still trying to get as much protein as possible. Weight loss without protein = muscle loss. Weight loss WITH protein = FAT LOSS. Since you're not a meat eater, I'd recommend a protein shake as part of your daily routine. Also BEANS, NUTS, and EGG WHITE. But overall, JUST focus on calories. Use a calculator that takes your sex, age, height, and weight into account, get your maintenance calorie level, and eat NO MORE than 1000 calories under that level. Here's a typical day for me (yesterday): A little lower on carbs and sugar that usual for me, a little higher on fat, but typical protein and calories. |

Thank you for the encouraging post, as I really do feel like crap when I don't eat enough carbs.
The last time I really put in 100% I had no way of tracking calories really... which is what bothered me about it. I wanted something that was simple and easy.. So I got a 3 seed demi loaf from panera (everyday), I took out all the dough, and made a sandwich with tuna fish in olive oil and spinach everyday. Half after my workout, and the other half at about 6 pm. Monday through friday, I had a steady weight loss of 1 lb a day. But I fluctuated on the weekends, usually 1-2 lbs. I don't remember if I had 1 or 2 cans a day of tuna, but if it was 1 then I will definitely bump it up to 2 this time around if I do this again. Also, will probably try to eat better on the weekend to avoid fluctuating as much as possible. I liked this diet because I saw results and had no cravings. I stopped eating that way when school started cause I didn't workout as much. I didn't put on much weight, maybe a few lbs? but clothes don't fit me as well as before. From my attempt at a protein diet: Diet i followed in the summer, but I was always hungry and looking forward to the next meal. |
