Yeah I can't win either, I'm looking to lose 15 pounds.

Hell, I already did the losing weight part, I'm on to the building muscle/keeping fat off part. I'm down 35 or so pounds from 2 years ago, now just trying to hold steady.

I'm thinking that losing 48 pounds before Saturday night might be a bit too challenging for me. Amputations would have to be involved.

 

I'm planning on being down to my birthweight by Memorial Day.

 

Gonna be the cutest lung on the beach!

I weigh in about 5 1/2 hours. I've done very well the past week.

 

Hoping for a loss of 5 lbs this week!

:headbang

 

If I lose 2 lbs this week I'll be satisfied. Weigh-in at 7 am.

:angry:

 

A pound?!!? A stinking pound is all I lost this week?!!

 

Grrr. I'm now firmly in the part of the diet where the pounds aren't just dropping off anymore.

 

Depressed now. . . . think I'll have ice cream and alfredo sauce for breakfast.

 

Hope y'all do a lot better than me.

I got my five this week. Still a LONG ways to go.

 

Hang in there Jim. This just has you primed for a big week next week.

Since I will be weighing in Friday mornings, I'll post that I didn't lose an extra pound in the last few days. Still rocking 199. Next week my goal is to be at 195 or below.

You jerk! I found your pound

 

Here is my excuse. I was merely eliminating the bad calories from my frige before embarking on the diet. The cheese cake mistake was consumed, along with the "just scoop and eat cheese cake filling" w/o crust. (that saved a few calories).

I lost 3 lbs this week.

 

my plan

 

breakfast 8am: 300 to 400 calories (good fiber cereal and skim milk)

snack 11am: 150 to 200 calories (banana and skim milk)

lunch 1pm: 500 to 600 calories (salad, veggie pizza on whole wheat bread or turkey sub on whole wheat with lettuce, spinach and tomato, apple/orange, and skim milk)

snack 4pm: 150 to 200 calories (14 pretzels and a light yogurt)

dinner 7pm: 400 to 500 calories (whole wheat pasta, salmon skewers, or crab cakes with salad and pear/apple, 2-3 glasses of water)

like snack 10pm: 100 calories (light yogurt, slightly frozen)

 

total daily diet: 1600-2000 calories

 

exercise

 

2 days of weights and body sculpting

2 days of cardio, tae bo

(set to increase when the spring/summer starts)

 

I will be down to my goal weight in 6-9 months.

I really respect all of you who are doing this. I think it a great way to lose weight having the support from everyone who is also trying to do it as well. Just a suggestion for the people who hate running, just listen to you IPod. All of you love music, so listen to it or a podcast for 20 minutes while you jog. Anyways, good luck to you all and even if you don't hit your goals, at least you have lost some weight and made progress. This things don't happen overnight, so don't get frustrated.
