Allright, I am very dissapointed. With myself, of course.

I have been trying this weight thing, and I just can't keep it off. I have no problem losing it - the problem is sticking with it, keeping it off.

I am not FAT, as in "look at that fat guy". I am kinda tall, so I don't look fat.
But I am at least chubby. Let me put it this way: you can't see my "six pack". I mean, it's in there, but it is wrapped in sugar and pasta.

I am getting back into it. Now! Right now!!!

I am coming up with a plan, but in the mean time I am going to do these things:

  • Start drinking lots, lots of water. Wait, let me get some right now!
  • No more sugar products, whatsoever. The only source of sugar for me could be apples, oranges, or other similar fruit.
  • No more carbs. This includes all baked goods, pasta, bread, except for pumpernickel bread, in very small portions.
  • Increased physical movement every day.

I am coming up with a Yes and No list for foods.

I want to do this. I am freaking tired of gaining weight.

I START NOW!!!
 
Good for you! Way to come out swinging. You tell those carbs and sugar who's boss. hehe. Seriously though, you can knock the layers off your six pack in no time. Make sure to post some pics of your abs (when they bust out again) for us. I'd like to see your success, if you aren't too shy. :p Sounds like you are off to a great start.
 
Sorry your struggling! I am too, really bad, have been since christmas.

You sure sound ready to change though, and I wish you the best!
 
Good for you

Way to go! I wish I could encourage myself like that. I can't seem to stay on the wagon either. Good Luck You can do this.
 
YES FOODS:


  • Water
  • Diet Drinks: not more than water
  • Vegetables: raw, boiled, out of can
  • Fruit: apples, oranges, grapefruit, other similar. In moderation, because of sugar
  • Soups: home-made, no fat, low sodium (lots of sodium keeps water inside body)
  • Tuna: plain or with fat-free mayo
  • Skim Milk
  • Fat-Free Cheeses
  • Lean Meats: lean ham, lean chicken, fish, other similar meats
  • Pumpernickel bread: small quantities





NO FOODS:



  • Sugar products: doughnuts, cake, baked sweets, pie, icecream, other similar sugar products
  • Carbs: bread, pasta, muffins, bagels, croissants, potato chips, potatoes
  • Oils: fried foods, foods cooked with lots of oil.
  • Fat: foods that are high in fat.

This is only a starting point. I will continue to work on this list. I will update any changes.

Ok, I did pretty good the first day. I had lots of water. For a late lunch I had a McDonald Cob Salad, with grilled chicken on it.

It was pretty good, and a little too large I thought. There were bits of bacon in there, and I wasn't happy about that. My tummy said "Yeah, bacon!" I said: "Tummy... shut up. Your days are numbered!"

For dinner I had a piece of feta cheese and lots of tea, with Splenda.

I'm doing this!
 
Breakfast this morning:

- three small cubes of cheese (don't know the name - the yellow cubes :) )
- a small red apple
- an orange
- a can of V8 (12 Oz.)
- 50 Oz. Water
 
Looking good! Stay focused and YOU CAN DO IT! You have the will and determination! We are here dont forget it!
 
Lunch time. Decision time for sure.

I am a school teacher, and it is Thursday... at my school, there's free food every thursday.

Pros:

- Lots of food
- It's free
- It's there all day

Cons:

- Mostly "comfort" food: cookies, donuts, delicious pie, bagels
- everybody is eating

I'll let you know what I ate, as I brought no lunch to school today.
 
Here's what I did for lunch.

I go out with the kids for lunch, so I divided my lunch into two halves, one hour apart.

First half:
- three cubes of cheese (small)
- two Graham crackers

Second half:
- three cubes of cheese (small)
- three Graham crackers
- two small apples

I'm doing this!
 
little headache... I know what that is from... SUGAR WITHDRAWAL!
I used to have some baked sweets by now, every day.

there's some coffee with Splenda in the office. I'll get some of that.
