Awesome job on the exercise!! Wow that is perfect, way to go!!
So I'm wondering why you wont humor me and tell me how many calories you usually eat when not "dieting"?? he he It could be really helpful in figuring out how to make a change this time that will work. You've done it a million times a certain way, and now its time to figure out the way that's going to work forever not just a few weeks.
I would think at your size you shouldn't have to eat what I'm eating on MY diet. Do you know I had 1760 cals yesterday and I was starving too? I had to roll with it because I've been at this same weight for months and if anything I need to be eating much less (but I HATE starving!). But can you explain to me why you need to be eating this little to lose weight (the same as a 141 lb female)? Are you in that much of a rush to get the weight off -- all of a sudden -- that you'll risk failing again? This time around you've got to do things DIFFERENTLY than before. Does that make sense Trout? Its gonna go the same as before unless you take a different approach this time.
I know no one can help you but yourself in this, but I'll be there for you and give you some ideas if I can (from my YEARS of watching my weight and dieting grrrr).

Blancita,
How would I know how many calories I was having. I ate what I wanted. Breakfast, Candy Bars, Donuts, bagels. Lunch - burgers, milkshake. Dinner - Whatever, & a lot of it. Evening Snack - Ice Cream.
I would avoid all fruit & veggies.
I think that gives you the picture.
Did have a good day today, except I did not get lunch. I added some extra calories at dinner. Did my mile walk. Finished right before it rained.

Ever thought of adding it up Trout? Firstly, it might give you a nice reality check in the future when you'll need some outside motivation to keep you in line as the gung-ho dieting phase starts to wain. As to how you add it up, you use fitday.com or some other tool and pick foods in the estimated quantities and you add and pick foods around the same to make it quick (they have tons of foods already listed). Second, an actual number of calories you ate before helps you figure out how many to cut. You may not want to cut too too much at once because that may have been why you backslide. You will probably lose the same amount of weight even if you ate a bit more. Anyway, I'm probably being annoying so I'll stop. Take care .
Had a good day, I ate to much for lunch. At least that is what my wife said. So I cut back a little bit on dinner, which I don't like to do. Dinner is my faroite meal. Did my walk. Doing pretty good.

This was cooking day. I cooked skinless boneless chicken, Turkey burgers, sautéed onions & green peppers. Takes a long time. I don't know how it became my job. Little concerned about my p.b.j. sandwich. See if I pay the price tomorrow. My wife has been sick since new years day. Shes really sick, because shes feeling sorry for her self & that is unusual for her. Me telling her to quit being a baby & suck it up, probably doesn't help. I have been waiting on her hand & foot. Shes no better at all yet, which concerns me.

A good day under 300 LBS., so glad to be under, worked hard for it this week. My wife is still sick, says she feels no better. But I think she is acting a little better. Keep my fingers crossed. Besides feeling bad for her. We work together, so I have to do my work her work & everything else. So I'm getting sick of her being sick. And then one of my orders today vanished before my eyes, after an hour of work.

Trout, did you just gain 99 lbs or is that a typo?! You're in the 2s not 3s, great job! Now remember to eat at least 3 nutritious meals each day so you dont give up and go back to your old ways. Hope wifey feels better soon.
Great job on week 1! You're very consistent I see! I mean shiat, you're posting Big Loser numbers! Too bad you're not on my team in the WLF Big Loser challenge.
Rather than the ice cream, I just discovered something really nice yesterday. Do you have a Costco nearby? They sell this large bag of frozen Dole fruit (peaches, pineapple, strawberries, canteloupe and honey dew melon) and I mixed 1 cup of that with 1/2 cup milk in the blender. It was so thick you had to eat with a spoon, like ice cream. It honestly was so damn satisfying, I was surprised!
Posting now because were (wife), going out tonight go watch the grass grow (BINGO). You must humor the wife once in a while. After all she was sick for almost 2 weeks. And I'm all caught up with my work. It has been weeks since that has happened. Did great eating today & did my exercise.

I did not lose any weight today. I can not believe it. And to make it even more distressing, football is on today & what do you do during foofball? You eat really good food, like chips, dip, steak, ice cream, candy, steak, fried chicken. Anyway I'm not happy right now.

Had a good day today. Were going out to Famous Dave's (it's a BBQ place) tonight for my moms birthday. Have already planned what I'm eating. So I should be OK.
Did my walk this morning.
The best news is my son got his drivers license. The reason that is great is, he works at a movie theater & gets off at 11:00 PM - 1:00 AM a lot & how was the one that would pick him up. OH HAPPY DAYS FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

allyphoe, Thank you. Especially me. This week he has play practice every evening until midnight & now I don't have to pick him up. What a great feeling.
Anyway I had a good day. I ate way to much this evening, I will be shocked if I don't gain weight tomorrow morning. The important thing is to get right back to eating right. A meal or even a whole day or weekend will not kill a diet, & this is where so many times I have failed in the past. I must get past it. I need to learn to blow it & for it to be OK. Do I sound a little worried. I am a little bit but not a lot, its a thing that is a must learn if I am to succeed in losing all of my weight & get healthy.
Also is it possible with so little weight lost that I already feel better.
