Over the last 4 week I had lost just over 13 pounds.  This pace was not sustainable, and has not been through my entire weight loss.  I knew this was going to be a hard week anyways with lots of drinking on Friday and Saturday so I was not expecting much this week, in fact [...]

Last Monday’s Weight:  226.6 Pounds Today’s Weight:  222.6 Pounds Pounds Lost This Week:   4 Pounds Estimated Weight [...]

Last week I lost 7.4 Pounds, this week ended up being a gain of 0.2 Pounds.  This is normal with what I have seen with my weight loss.  Large losses are usually followed by a small change in the scale the following week (or sometimes a decent gain).  Lets see how I did this week, [...]

If you are keeping up with me on a week to week basis you know that last week sucked.  There was no real reason for it since based on my estimates I should have lost just over 2 pounds, not gained over 3.  This week made up for that strange week. Last Monday’s Weight: 233 [...]

Gaining Weight For No Good Reason

Sometimes weight loss does not make sense.  It can make the overall journey very hard.  As of Saturday morning I was down 1.2 pounds, then after my hard work out on Saturday my weight spiked the next morning and stayed that way on Monday.  If you check my blog something similar happened starting back in [...]

For a 6 week period I had only lost 3.6 pounds.  I had let some of my eating habits slip just enough where those 2 pounds per week started becoming ½ a pound average per week.  This is not acceptable.  Since I started posting my weekly updates here I have taken back my weight loss [...]

Day 2

by Rick August 24, 2010

Here’s what I had today: My coffee, 250 2 granola bars, 200 Hamburger (like yesterday), 700 Misc. chips, 300 Chicken enchiladas, 600 15 Frosted Mini Wheats, 150 Total Calories: 2200 I’m starting to wonder if ~2,000 calories a day is the sweet spot here. I think I can lose weight and feel good on that. [...]

New strategy, not revolutionary.. actually, slow and boring.

by Colin June 11, 2009

As much as I talked about my calorie-counting and exercising, that was NOT was I was actually doing. I was crash dieting. I did it with good tools, but it nevertheless what I did! I realize now that I would get really gung-ho and seriously overdo it. I would adopt an aggressive diet in my [...]
