My own little diet thread!

[macsim]

I'm at 226 since the start of the thread (down from 229). It's slow but I think in the end that's maybe the best way. I wish I had weighed earlier because I know my clothes didn't suddenly start to fit after a 3 lb. loss. It's been coming off ever so slowly since Christmas but I haven't weighed until recently. Unfortunately I'm going to Myrtle Beach next week and I'll have to struggle to keep away from the pancake houses. Oh well, maybe I can hold serve for a week and then start again. Congratulations to all who are winning the battle!

I'm down 19 pounds!! Another 3 pounds and I'll be below 300!!

If you keep at it, we'll have to start calling you Medium Paul.

Iolaus:

I really wish you the best of luck. I lost 25 lbs since October and am more or less at an ideal weight. I already used to eat a fairly balanced diet, although I did make some changes, and excerised 2-3 times a week; I just ate way too much. I started setting out proportions for myself and would eat outside of that. It really did the trick.

The funniest part about it was I was inspired by a friend who had gone Atkins diet and had somewhat explained the hypothesis of the diet to me. However I could never imagine eating what he ate, so I ate the exact opposite. For instance he eats eggs and bacon for breakfast and I eat yogurt and fruit. I call it the anti-Atikins diet.

Anyway, losing weight is not easy and I wish everyone here a healtier life.

Well, I went to the beach and weighed a couple of days after I got back and I had lost 3.5 lbs. I was pretty good while I was there but the last day I blew it. I'm shocked that I lost weight but we did do an awful lot of walking while we were there. I'm at 220.5 now. There was a nice little Irish Pub called O'Flynn's there on Main St. in N. Myrtle. I had some good ol' traditional fish and chips and Irish Bread Pudding. The only bad thing was the music. Some guy was in the bar playing Italian music and then Johnny Cash. Didn't seem to fit.

So far this year I've managed to lose about seven pounds. It would be more, but I seem to gain back two pounds for every three I lose.:rolleyes: At least it's on a downward trend.

[Iolaus]

it's on a downward trend.

That's what's important.

Fantastic work Iolaus...

For me, I'd love to be back down around 210. Being 6'3", anything less than that and I'd start to look like a beanpole.

Good thing is, I've found the exact cause of my gain ( up to around 235): I have a computer job with an on-call cellphone. Wost possible thing for weight management.

Anyway, two rounds of indoor soccer a week, and a pregnant wife keeps me plenty busy, although no time for a gym.

regardless, I'm with you all the way Iolaus...just make sure you can still fit your kilts!
