Ahahaha Is No Maybe Enjoy Today Cause Your Butts Back On Track Come Monday Morning I Am Gonna ************kick********* And Push Ya To And Yes Post The Bad Anything That Helps!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
weigh in

Well I did I weighed in 243 Lbs. :( That means in 13 days I gained 11.50 Lbs. not good at all. When you eat everything but the kitchen sink, what do you expect.

This is something I really have to work on. When I'm not eating to lose weight I must get to the point where I do not gain weight. I have to learn to do this or I will gain all the weight back I lose.

I have the same problem Chip. The last 7 days Ive just totally failed and gained 8 lbs in 7 days. Vacations just kick my butt. Ive been trying to break 200 and been very close for over a month now but cant seem to find the umph to do it. Every time I do good, I get down to close to 200, then some event happens and I eat....then I eat for a few days making up for all I didn't eat before and then some. We need to find a way to conquer this problem! :mad:
 
Finished Day 1

I finished day one again. Did great even though it was tough. At one point today I wanted to go to the store & get some candy SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some how I didn't & I don't know how. My wife did not help at breakfast when she said that I could not cook on the stove. I was going to have an egg on toast. The reason I can't use the stove is its clean & were selling our home. But guess who cleaned the stove in the first place. ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Women drive you nuts sometimes. Well maybe all the time. Not really all the time..

Chip:D
 
Finished Day 2

Finished day 2 & did good stayed under my calories around 1,200. I know it gets easier, but I want it easier NOW. I only had about a 2 hour bad period, where I wanted to go get 3 Mounds bars & a big huge Hershey bar (one of the really big ones) with almonds. I made it though.

Then I missed lunch because I got a call & I had to go show homes (that is a good thing, it has been slow.) But I really missed my lunch.

Weigh in 239.50 Lbs.
Weight loss for day 3.50 Lbs.:) Yes I know its water loss.

4 mile jog around 54 Mins.
Yesterday around 1 Hr. 1 Min.

Day 3 Finished

I made it my third day without sugar. Stayed within my calories around 1800. I feal a little better today. Only thought of my candy bars & ice cream when I went to the store. They have the big giant cand bars on sale for $1.00, so tempting. Why when ever your getting back on track or starting a diet they will have great sales. It seems everytime I start a diet McDonalds puts their Big Mac on sale for a a dollar.

Weigh in 236.00 Lbs.
Weight loss for day 3.50 Lbs.:) Yes I know its still water loss. I would
not be surpised if I have a weight gain
tommorow.

Jog 6.2 miles - 1:23:50:D Thats a long way for me right now.
 
Hey Chip, your doing great. It seems that candy bars are what you have the hardest time with. I here you about the big mac thing. In Utah they have big mac Mondays all the time. $1 on Monday. At least they used to. They were a big downfall for me. back to the candy though. What I find helps me to fight temptation with candy is to have some in my house that I wont touch. That way when I'm running about and find a good deal or someone offers me some, I can resist because I'm not passing up on something I cant get any time at my house. I know its weird but it seems to work for me.

And though you are losing a lot of water weight, you are losing real weight as well. For me, water weight accounts for about 8 lbs. Your probably similar.

Keep up the good work! :cool:
 
Hey I just wanted to say i am pretty new to the site and having just read your diary i think you have done amazingly well. I know how you feel about sugar, the second i go off sugar the sun comes out and it is frapaccinno weather (sp, you know what i mean) and in the UK we don't get that too often lol! Keep up the great work!!
 
My Best Day

Had a good day, did not suffer with thinking about eating candy. Stayed within my calories. My best day in my 4 days of being back on track.

Weigh in 236.00 Lbs.
Weight loss for day 0.00 Lbs. :rolleyes: Yes I know its still water loss.:D
tomorrow.

Jog 4.24 miles - 1:04:58 Thats a long way at 6:30 AM when you should be sleeping. Only two reasons to get up at 6:30 AM, go to work or fishing.

2 week diet plan

About 10 days since I posted. All is going well, haven't weighed my self. Haven't walked, until yesterday. I decided to go back to basics & that is my 2 week diet plan, after all that is the way I got to where I'm at now. My main focus was to stay off sugar, when I finish today it will be 2 weeks without sugar. I'm going to start counting calories tomorrow. Will also weigh myself, I will be surprised if I have gained weight.

My focus until my birthday on July 4 Th. will be to lose 20 Lbs. & to walk every day, with at least 1 mile every day.

Chip
 
I am sure removing the sugar will really help. How do you feel without it?

20 pounds in two weeks seems like a lot to me. I don't think I could pull that off. It has taken me about six weeks to lose 19 pounds. I think I could do 5 to 10 pounds in two weeks if I really tried but it would be quite a challenge.

Edit: Oh, I see I misread your post. 20 pounds in a month is doable but still a tall order. That's about five pounds a week. I have sometimes been able to loose that much but not often.

Weigh in

Weighed in at 236.75:) thats a gain of .75 Lbs. Not good yet it is good because every other times I quit watching what I ate I gained a lot of weight in a short time. So I'm very happy. Most likely it was the no sugar.

So by my birthday I will weigh 216.75

WEIGHT TODAY - 236.75
LBS. TO GO - 20.00
DAYS LEFT 29

Good job! I quit sugar cold-turkey 13 weeks ago, and you really get used to it. I think I was OK with it was I used splenda or something in my tea or coffee and that made the drinks or cereal edible, where if it was plain I think I would have had "just a little pinch", and you know how that goes.............:D
 
Wow! I am a Newbie and have just read your post! You really have done an amazing job! I am inspired and encouraged to keep plugging away at this! Keep up the good work!
 
Not Bad Is Not Good

I said earlier today I only gained .75 Lbs in 10 days & that is not bad. That would be a huge gain of 27 Lbs in a year.

I did have a good day today, did not eat anything today it was not easy. It was planned, it has been a while since I fasted a whole day.

Ran 7 miles today in 1:35
