Fat Enders

[Mozart]

I usually eat microwave stuff for lunch at work, but from now on I'm going to try bread, nuts, cheese and fruit instead; like I think Holden mentioned: food that doesn't come in packaging.

Fruits in the morning my friend, on empty stomach. Not too much bread I hope! The combination of foods is just as important for good digestion. Have you been chewing more?

Yes, I just had dinner and made sure I chewed it well. I have a bad habit of wolfing my food so the extra chewing helps a lot.

So, if I have a beer or cocktail, I starve that day? 

[Lethevich]

I was under the impression that beer is quite fattening, so limiting it might be a good idea. But as Holden says, don't starve yourself - consider it as your weekly "treat" or something

[Dr. Dread]

Sounds good.

Morning weigh-in: 268

Bounced up a bit.

I too have this problem, however I can't say I'm motivated to jump on board this thread at the moment.    So for now I'll be a bystander, contemplating whether or not I should try (once again) to lose weight.  Perhaps I'll feel differently tomorrow. 

This is me as well.  I really don't need any more stress (read: diet) at the moment, but I know that my overall mood (and waistline, and blood pressure) would improve if I ate better. 

I'll dip a toe in by trying to switch to a healthy lunch.  I'm not a big breakfast person, and my dinners at home tend to be somewhat light, so lunch is my opportunity to eat whatever I like without the spouse giving me the hairy eyeball, plus it's a way to get out of the office and relax for a bit in the middle of the day.  I shall try switching an apple for those fried Chinese dumplings, and walking whilst consuming it -- see how it goes... maybe I'll try an audiobook on my iPod, and enjoy the susnshine.

I seem to have gone up a half-pound, to 166. Drat!

Me too. Must be the weather.

[Holden]

Me too. Must be the weather.

As I said in my first post, don't judge your weight loss by actually weighing yourself. The variables are too numerous to count. Just go for it, BE PATIENT, and watch what happens to your waist line! This is a far more positive and accurate way of judging your progress.

[Dr. Dread]

I'm addicted to the scale, man.  And that's what the doctor goes by. 

Down a pound: 267

Way to go, Dave!

[karlhenning]

Keep shedding 'em, Dave!

[Dr. Dread]

Thanks. It's easy to lose at the beginning when you weigh as much as I do. Then you hit plateaus along the way/weigh , but you just have to be patient.

[Dr. Dread]

My wife also read that using the scale helps keep you on track.

I was on the treadmill yesterday, grooving to Devo's FREEDOM OF CHOICE. I can't workout to classical so I listen to the old favorites and it helps the time speed by.

Excellent Devolutionary application, sir!
