You're absolutely right about losing weight for healthy living. I think the plan you have prepared for yourself will work very well. Just don't give up because the results will come in baby steps. Keep on keepin on. Feel free to rant, and share any questions you might have. |

Down ten pounds to 210. Just an apple for breakfast, salad for lunch, and a reasonable dinner and I'm good to go. No more soda or sweet drinks.
Booze is down to twice a week, so that will help. |

For that busy body on the go. I'll take several eggs, some cooked sausage, spinach, cheese, or whatever. Whip it all together, pour in a muffin tin and bake it. Pop out little breakfast muffins for the entire week. Breakfast on the fly. I'll eat them cold in a pinch.

Awesome job! Keep up the hard work. I would encourage you to research eating too few calories. If that's all you ate today, I'd be concerned that you're not eating enough calories. Though the immediate results are exciting, it slowly kills your metabolism. Cutting out soda and sweet drinks is an awesome start though! Keep on Keepin' on bro

Last week's been a bit of a shambles for me. I decided I needed to shuffle my sleep around, which will be good long term (if I stick to it) but has me just dead physically. Lost a full week of running, which shouldn't be a big deal. Didn't impact my diet at all. 16 days, no dining out.

Day three, and I think I am doing okay. Headaches have subsided, I have managed to keep my carb count well below 20, and my blood sugar has responded. Had some of the best glucose readings in awhile yesterday and today. Not sure if the weight loss has started to kick in, I will probably wait to weigh until I have being on the diet for a week or two.

I have been winging it the first few days of the diet...figuring out what I want to eat, and then my wife has been running to the store every day to get what I need. Today's goal is plan out some menu and make a complete list of what I need for the next 5-7 days, and hit the store to stock up. Meal planning will help keep me on track better I think, and minimize opportunities to fall off of the wagon. Got a pedometer yesterday. Starting out with just walking for my exercise, since regular walking has a positive effect on my blood sugar, and I think my back will be more tolerate or more aerobic exercise once I drop some pounds. Went to the YMCA last night and walk for around 90 minutes and put in about 5000 steps. Going to try to make it back there this afternoon if I can.

How do guys on diets handle drinking beer? I'm planning to keep my food calorie count normal and go ahead and have some beers today. I figure that is still better than before my diet. I figure as long as I only do this every other week I should be good.

MOTHER**** THIS BROKEN ANKLE!
I'm getting soft...fat...it ****ing sucks. I've not been able to weigh myself at all, but I'm betting I've put on a good 5 lbs the last 2 weeks since I broke it. |

I'm curious if you can stand for any length of time. I have no idea what a broken ankle feels like or how it really limits you, but I wonder if there's any way you could get an effective cardio workout just with your upper body. |
