Yesterday was a great day!

Breakfast - 3 hard boiled eggs, 3 slices of canadian bacon
Lunch - cup of ground beef with taco spice, cup of cauliflower, 5 tortilla chips
Dinner - celery sticks wrpped in deli sliced 97% fat free turkey breast, 8oz of skim milk. Dinner was on the run, boiled egg.
Snack - Low fat Skim motz cheese stick

Water - 2.6 liters of the Sams Choice flavored sparkling water. I do have to suggest, if you do not like water it is awesome. They have many flavors to choose from and it tastes great. They sell this at walmart also.
Dinner was not what I planned so I had to grab something fast and had to head out the door. At least I chose something healthy because previously I would have stopped at McDonalds or Taco Bell to grab something fast.


Its really wild. Every morning when I go through my head and enter into my diary it does not seem like alot of food. The good thing is I am never finding myself hungry.

I weighed this morning and I am down another pound! Woo Hoo!!! 19 Pounds total!!! I am currently at 336 lbs. My short term goal is to get to 330lbs, that would get me to the 25lb mark.

Today will be a great day. 2008 is gong to be great!!

Yesterday was a great day.

Breakfast - 2 hard boiled eggs, 2 slices of canadian bacon, 1 liter of water
Lunch - 2 4 oz ground beef patties with mustard. salad with fat free raspberry vinagrette dressing
Dinner - low fat motz cheese stick, 1 cup of peas, 2 slices of 97% fat free ham and a sugar free jello cup.

Snacks - 2 - sugar free jello cups, and a fat free skim milk motz cheese stick.

Beverages - 1.5 liters of water besides the liter I drank at breakfast so I was at 2.5 liters. My goal is still to get the 3 liters of water per day. Not quit getting there yet but still concious of my water goal. It has been 15 days since I have had any type of soda regular or diet. I just decided when I made my change that the sodas were not an option in my everyday routine.

My cravings for bad foods have really stopped happening. Plus I notice I am not eating as much as I was in the beginning of my change and I am not getting hungry.

I weighed in this morning and I actually dropped another pound so I hit the 20 lb mark in loss. I am now down to 335. Woo Hoo

I measured myself last Saturday eventhough I still have not posted the measurement but tomorrow I will measure again since it has been a week. This is something that I will do every saturday. I will hopefully get to post my original measurments along with the results of my second measure tomorrow. Plus I might add some before pics. We will see.
Today is a great day!
 
It looks like your doing a great job! Keep on going. Your doing south beach right?

My dad did it and had some amazing results! Good luck with your lifestyle change.


PS-Im a huge cowboys fan and i was deeply depressed. I just wished they could of played a little better!
 
Thanks Trevor! Yes I am doing South Beach and so far it has been incredible. My 2 week phase 1 will be up on Sunday but I think I am going to keep up with phase 1 for a little bit longer. I really feel like it is working for me and the food selection is stuff that I like so why end a good thing. I know eventually I will want a different selection of food and thats when I will start phase 2 were they start adding some food items back to meals that you do not have in phase 1.

The Cowboys *sigh*....I think keeping Jason Garrett is a good thing. I honestly do not know how long Phillips will last. I honestly feel he was a stop gap until Garrett was ready any ways. We will see.

Thanks for the kind words. This has been an incredible lifestyle change so far!
Today is a great day!
 
Wow!!! You're doing such an awesome job! Keep it up!

Thanks so much for dropping by my diary and leaving some encouraging words.
 
Ok so here we go! I am starting my 3rd full week into this journey.
Just to recap progress so far.
1/3 - 1/12/2008 - 11 pounds loss
1/13 - 1/19/2008 - 12 pounds loss

Total loss of 23 pounds.:hurray:

I am so stoked. It seems the more I lose the more motivated I get even thought going into this lifestyle change I had made my mind up that I was doing this.
Yesterday was a great day!

Breakfast - 3 eggs over hard, 2 slices of candian bacon, 2 slices pork bacon, medium tomatoe sliced, 12 oz of water.

Lunch - sirloin beef tips flavored with pepper, salad with fat free rasp vinagrette, 12 oz glass of skim milk

Dinner - left over chicken breast, low fat skim motz stick, green beans

Snacks - 1 sugar free jello cup

Beverages - 2 - 1 liter bottles of water through out the day.

Got on the scale this morning and I was down an amazing 3 pounds. I know this sounds strange but it seems I drop more on the weekend days than during the week. Can not explain it but who cares, as long as the weight is falling off.

I just want to thank everyone for everyones compliments and good thoghts during this journey so far. Keep them coming!!

Today will be a great day!

Hey Scott, still doing awesome I see! Well doen on the 20 pound mark... if I had lost that much I would be almost at my goal weight ;)!

One thing I have noticed is that you seem to eat an awful lot of eggs! I love eggs and they are great food, but they also clog your arteries, so maybe you would want to consider eating a max of 2 eggs a day. I do a medical degree and I think you should just think about it. Otherwise you seem to be doing quite amazingly!
Love, Camy
 
eggs

Hi Camy!
Thanks for your advice. Would it help if I ate the whites and not the yolks?
What i do is hard boil a bunch of eggs on Sunday nights and then have them to grab every morning. I typiclly do not have time for breakfast so I grab and then eat them in the car. I could live without the yolks if it would help my situation.
 
Yesterdays eating was not all that bad.

Breakfast - glass of veggie juice

Lunch - 2 - 2oz ground turkey on 1 slice of party rye bread (the small pieces), and a bowl of high protien chili, the chili was made of ground turkey, kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, tomatoes and a variety of spices so it was not that bad for the eating.

Dinner - bowl of chili, celery sticks with fat free french onion dip.

Beverages - 2.5 liters of water

snacks - about 10 potato chips, sugar free jello cups

The football party was good. I really did a good job controlling my urges. It really wasnt that hard. I was able to try pretty much everything but I only had a taste and I was done. Except for the chili which fit good into my high protien eating. Did not really eat my veggies today except for the celery but it was a party so back on track today.

Weigh in still shows down 23 pounds. Today will be a great day!!
 
Hey Scotty-boy!
Yes I think if you just eat the egg without the yolk that would help getting your cholesterol to normal levels! You don't wanna be skinny and sick, right!

By the way I love your attitude, you are so positive about it, always expecting a great day and I just totally think that is what is going to make you "win" this tug-of-war with the pounds!
Big hugs, Camy
 
Hiya Camy!

Thanks for the advice on the eggs. I will get those yolks out!!

I try to stay positive. There are bad days but mostly good days.
 
Yesterday was a good day!

Breakfast - 2 hard boiled eggs, 2 slices of candian bacon, 80z glass of skim milk

Lunch - Cobb salad with mixed greens, grilled chix breast, avacado, onions, tomatoes with 2 tblsp of a champagne vinagrette dressing. Drank water with lunch

Dinner - Left over chili, 8oz skim milk

Snacks - Celery with a fat free sour cream dip

Beverages - 2 - 1 liter of sams choice flavored water.

Still doing well on the life style change in my eating. I really need to start exercising more. I have to make myself get up after putting the kids to bed to walk on the tread mill for a minimum of 30 minutes. That is the area I am struggling with the most right now.

After weigh in his morning I am still at the 23# loss mark.

Today will be a great day!!
 
As I posted this morning, I needed to get my treadmill time in. I was pumped to get on there after my girls went to bed.
I walked while I was watching the biggest loser. Funny thin it actually made me feel like I was going through it with them. Pretty cool. Now if I can get NBC to how it every night I would be good. JK

I walked for 30 minutes which I had been doing before, earlier in the month but I got it up to 3.6 speed for most of the walk. I actually notched it up to 4.3 for about 2 minutes and ran. It felt great. My goal is to run the entire time but I need to work up to that. Ok well it is time for bed.
I want to get to that 25# mark damnit, I have been at 23 pounds long enough..lol
 
Yesterday was a great day.

Breakfast - 2 slices of candian bacon, 1 stick of celery with 2 tbls of peanut butter, water to drink

Lunch - salad with 1 tbls ranch dressing, cucumbers, egg, tomatoes. 4 oz grilled chix breast and 4 oz of roasted porkloin and .5 cup of fresh green beans

Dinner - 4 oz of baked white fish with a dijon mustard/ fat free mayo sauce and 1.5 cups of broc and cauliflower mixture.

Snacks - 1 low fat part skim motz string cheese, 2 sugar free jello cups

Treadmill for 30 minutes as stated in my post from last night. I felt great after the treadmill. I need to remember that feeling so I duplicate the exercise every night.

As an aside, I counted my calories from yesterday on fitday.com and I was shocked that I only ate 1100 calories. I think I need to be around the 1500-1800 calorie mark a day. I definitly do not want to get my body in starvation mode. The weird thing is that I do not get hungry even only eating the 1100 calories. Is there an explaination for this? If any one could shed some light it would be greatly appreciated.

After weigh in today I dropped 4 tenths. I am now down 23.4 pounds....

I am going to keep up with my treadmill and eat good today trying to bump up my calories to at least 1500.

Today will be a great day!
 
Walked the treadmill for 38 minutes tonight on 3.1 speed. I thought I was done at 32 minutes but kept going until 38 minutes. :hurray:

Want to get to the 40 minute mark and do that for a good week before moving up. I think if I move up 2 minutes at a time and sit there until comfortable I think that is a good pace.

Today was a great day!
