Board 8 > I'm ****ing Sick of This (Weight Loss Topic)

(+) Yeah! (+)

257 today
---

I might make some headway today. Started at 184. Hoping to stay there or drop to 183.
---

I was at 190 this time last year, was able to pretty quickly get down to 175, but I seem to have plateaued at 172 (which isn't really a bad weight for me.)

Still I wonder if it will go down in the summer when my diet gets much much better
---

182

Oh sweet progress. I thought you'd never show up.
---

256 today.
---

Same as yesterday. Hoping a run will shed something today.
---

Im in. But no plan
---

Hey GTM. We can do this.

Spend that extra little bit of time getting a solid plan in place. There is an old adage that rings true. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Good luck in your journey!

The ways humans ate basically the entirety of their existance: fad

The way people have been eating in america the past 50 years that treats the human digestive system like a cold fusion reactor is the only way to go

Just starve yourself for two months a year. More if you are getting married. LOL!

Had a few days that I really wanted to eat more or felt like I was doing gymnastics to stay under my calorie restriction. A guy gave me an cherry pie thing yesterday which I would have felt bad if I didn't eat because he bought it for me. That alone put me down 400 calories right off the bat making the rest of the day a hurdle. Ended up 25 calories above my 1000 calorie cut a day which is just about perfect. It was hard though.

Gifts are the worst. It's like not trying to eat junk food people provide at meetings or parties.
---

Like the pizza someone brings out of nowhere...at least I only went for two slices.

My last 10 days calorie-wise.

1000 calorie deficit is goal.

Day 1 -1346 calories from 1000 calorie deficit goal
Day 2 -92 calories from deficit
Day 3 -232
Day 4 -248
Day 5 +285
Day 6 +348
Day 7 +84
Day 8 +24
Day 9 + 63
Day 10 is today. I miscounted.

So based on this... I am at a 10,114 calorie deficit over the past 9 days. Which should be almost 3 lbs lost.

Day consumption. Steps

Day 1 210 calories. 3276 steps
Day 2 1855. 7869
Day 3 1597. 5894
Day 4 1417. 3173
Day 5 1840. 115
Day 6 1905. 164
Day 7 1825. 4075
Day 8 1707. 3225
Day 9 1836. 4509

TEA!

Drink tea

Why can't I find an accurate nutrition label for wonderful Halo Mandarin oranges.

= /
---

A lot of Fruit doesn't have labels. It's really dumb.

But halos have like 7 different supposed numbers for them. The one s nutrition has is 37 calories. But it also says it barely has any vitamin c and like 500% DV vitamin A. That cannot be right.
---

Sure those aren't carrots? Who wrote those labels?

This is the label they use.

That is so wrong.

Yeah, but no one has a correct label and the company doesn't produce one... And even self declares that the name of the product is actually two different products depending on the timing of the season.

Why did it have to get super cold on shopping day?
---

Arizona Iced Green Tea Zero is fantastic. It's got a hint of honey the normal version doesn't.
---

Easter put me way over today. I had to guess on a lot of calorie totals but I put myself at probably close to +1000 for a 0 calorie deficit today. It is okay cuz I have to fast for my physical on Thursday so that will probably be a -1000 calorie day for a 2000 calorie deficit to offset it.
---

I think I might make another milestone today, after a bit of plateau for a week. Hooray tea!
---

Stupid cold. The sore throat makes me think I need to drink more.
---

256 today

Can't get any shopping done with all the snow. I suppose the one benefit is I am snacking as opposed to hoarding a ton of food all at once.

I'm under 183. Let's hope I can stay that way. A big key is smaller "meals," kind of breaking things into components rather than a full meal. Why eat a full wrap when I can take the meat and veggies in a bowl, saving the bread/wrap for a small sandwich later? I'm still not eating a lot of fruit, but I can work on it.

I've also finally gotten over my soda kick. I find myself going to the vending machines downstairs, but I skip the drink (or just have one every few days). Habits really are hard to break.
---

Things looking good. 183.5 to end the day. I'm expecting good results tomorrow morning.
---

I had a 253.8 weigh in earlier but sticking to 256 for now as my official weight.
---

182.5 this morning. Ate a big lunch, so I'll try to get back there by tonight.
---

What's your goal?
---

Getting under 180 for now. I'll think about other goals after that.
---

you're already lighter than me anyway
(of course I am several feet taller, but still)
---

Looks like 254 today. I haven't been able to get a full 8 hours of sleep straight to do a proper weigh in after it. But, that's at least a 5 hour sleep worth before it.
---

At a convention. Should be an interesting test of my willpower to eat or drink...and try to be thrifty.
---

Coming to this topic late, but I just wanted to express solidarity to you guys for pushing yourselves. Keep at it. It's all about will power. I've recently encouraged my best friend to start losing weight who was in the mid-250s, but he's going strong too. Makes me happy to see people get results.

I have nothing more substantial to add, but I just wanted to post a bit of encouragement for you guys.
---

Thank you.
---

251 weigh in today. First time I got 8 hours of sleep before weighing in. I will wait another day with that weigh in before I consider that official.
---

slowly
---

Wearing a ton of clothes cause it's cold. Can't gauge weight until bedtime.
---

252 today. I'll consider that my official weight for now.
---

Ate a bit more at the anime convention than I'd like. Need to fast the rest of today to make up for it.
---

also my one weakness

apple pie

So my buddy has been using Rule 1's Lean 5 fat burner. He has seen amazing results from it, and my girlfriend has started taking it took. I don't know if that might be something you guys are interested in, but it apparently works really well if you just make sure you stay hydrated and put in the exercise time.
---

There is no such thing as a fat loss wonder supplement. Konjac root is probably as close as you can get to it. Appreciate the thought, but I will pass. If you are keeping a calorie restriction you will lose weight regardless. Most of those supplements just drain you of water which makes you look like you lost weight and gives you the initial water weight loss. That is probably why you even have to give the disclaimer to stay hydrated.
