Losing Weight with Starscream - Page 8

Starscream · 01-17-2009, 11:33 AM

I have one official weigh-in, which is on Monday, but I check more than once a week just out of curiosity. My official one is the only one that matters to me.

Week 2:
Day 6

Who knows what Saturday brings on the menu. No routine for Saturdays here. I have a lot of course work to get done today too.

Good luck all!

I weigh myself everyday, but have an official weigh-in once a week. I see the fluctuations in myself and they range from 2-3 lbs a day, but as long as my week-to-week keeps going... I'm good.

Oh, and if you guys aren't aware of it, www.3fatchicks.com/forum/ has a bunch of great recipes that help out. You don't have to sign up to use it.

That is exactly how I am trying to approach this. I realize that as I am approaching 50 my body has just changed. I need to eat smaller portions and healthier foods. That does not mean that I can't have the occasional rack of ribs or a plate of chicken wings. It just means that I need to be eating smarter on a daily basis and getting regular exercise. Slowly but surely it is a lifestyle change not a diet.

Week 2 results: Down to 250lbs. Dropped another 4lbs, a total of 11lbs since start.

Not what I was hoping for but I'll take it. Was hoping to be in the 40s to start this week.
Nice link, Perry.

thanks Andy

it was useful for my keto diet phase

Way to go Andy. Nothing wrong with 4lbs down. You don't want to lose the weight too quickly. Your body needs time to adjust.

I had an active weekend. Got to the climbing gym on Saturday and ice climbing yesterday. Nothing hard, but it was fun and I was doing stuff. I may actually lose another little bit by the time I weigh in on Thursday.

Sounds good for the weigh-in! Keep it up.

Hey guys... sorry I didn't check in yesterday. I was doing honey dos all day long.

Got to the gym the yesterday and today. The workout I am doing is 45 minutes and gets me 2.92 miles. I am also starting a thing at work were we wear a pedometer and track our distances. It should be interesting.

Drum roll please... down two pounds this week. That is just about right. Today and
Thursday I will have to be careful at dinner as my son has soccer games. Other than that I am looking forward to a great week!!

01-20-2009, 10:14 AM

Good job Brent.

I'm just getting up. I'll have a light breakfast, prepare and mail out a couple of bombs and then hit the climbing gym just before lunch.

Maybe I'll also hit the heavy bag for a little bit.

3.65 in ten minutes

I'm moving up

Starscream · 01-20-2009, 01:53 PM

Snowing here. Another day off from work. Getting off routine is bad for me. I did get some exercise in being chased by the kids in the snow. Meals are getting heavy here though. I had four pancakes and 6pcs of bacon for breakfast, 7 bagel bites(pizzas on a minibagel) for lunch.

12stones · 01-20-2009, 05:47 PM

I won't be checkin' in often because my routine doesn't vary much at all.

Today it was my usual again:

2 eggs scrambled with sauteed vegetables and 2 pieces of turkey bacon
Lunch was a chicken and cheese sandwich on rye.
Dinner was the taco bake in a whole wheat tortilla.
Had a low-fat string cheese stick and a cut up cucumber for snacks.

Will be doing my 45 minute routine tonight. Back, bi, cardio...
