What a great attitude Chip! You're so right about getting back on track right away after a bad meal or weekend. You can actually maintain your goal weight that way, as long as you eat a light meal or two afterwards to make up for anything too over the top.

I bet you do feel better from just eating healthier and lighter and exercising regularly. All of that I think is supposed to clear out your blood fats and give your liver a break from all the work its doing in processing the sugar etc.

Did have a good day today. I gained .50 Lbs. today, I new I was going to gain from what I ate yesterday. Was it worth it. I don't know. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. Ate good today. My family had pizza, I had chicken salad. I could of had one or two pieces of pizza, I preferred to have a big salad.

Chip

HEY, what up troutman! I got an e-mail update on your diary, good to see you back in the game. I too am dieting yet again. I started a few days before the new year. I had gained all my weight back from my last diet and then some. I call the last diet where I did great (and you too) my 06 diet, got down to just under 200, down from 280. Anyway, I got back up to 287 so I thought to hell with that and started the same diet (same strategy) Im down to 266 now and still going strong. I moved to AZ for my internship/residency and the hospital gives us free food, so I gained the last 15-20 lbs pretty fast. Its amazing how fast the weight comes on. On my 06 diet, my wife and kids were in UT, and I was in MI doing med school rotations. I pretty much isolated myself and had little temptation. Now we all live together and my wife cooks good food, so Ive had to overcome some weaknesses to do my diet. I dont eat their meals anymore, which has been hard, but Ive done pretty good at it and its motivating my wife too which is even better. My 06 diet crashed when I moved back home with them. Anyway, its good to see you back here. Im not posting anymore, but I watch every once and a while. It seems me and you are always on the same track, whether doing good or bad. As long as you keep doing good I guess I will too so keep it up! Later

moabnut, Glad you dropped by, come & visit once in a while.

On the 16Th late afternoon, a bank called with 43 work orders. We typically do 20-30 orders a week. We had until Sunday evening to get done. We worked night & day & got them all done on time. We ended up with 73 orders for the week. The most we had before this was 53 orders.

Anyway have been doing good diet wise. Could be because I did not have time to think about food.

I gained weight yesterday & I don't know why. Makes me mad. I had a good day, I did have buttered popcorn for dinner. I know its not healthy, but I did stay within my calories.

Hey - you're doing GREAT !! I'm back to finish off my ol' goals...
Look's like you're still doing awesome with the running.
Today is my first day back on the treadmill in MONTHS !!
Anyways, just stopping by to say HELLO - and hope to hear from you soon!

I would rather be dead, than weigh what I weigh right now, for the rest of my life.

Chip

I am back after a long time. I was not in a good frame of mind last time I posted. I feel good except I'm still losing my home & this has been almost 2 years since I made my last mortage payment. Also I'm to fat. At least I can change my weight.

I have just finished my 2nd. week. I weigh in tomorrow. I have done great except on super bowl sunday & it was not worth one thing I ate. If your going to eat extra I think you should at least think it was worth it. I started walking last tues.

Chip

Welcome Back Chip!

Sorry to hear about still loosing your health.I think it is great hat you are back and giving it another go

Ive laways been amazed at how you can drop weight so fast!

Monday was the finish of two weeks. It has been much easier than I ever dreamed. I only ate bad one day that was super bowl sunday. I did not even enjoy eating what I ate. Next time I will make the extra calories worth it.

Start Weight - 311.25
Week one - 304.00 - 7.25
Week Two - 296.75 - 7.25

TOTAL LOSE - 14.50

Chip

I finished week 3 things have continued to be easy. I think I was 100% good on every thing. I stayed within my calories every day 1500 -2000. I walked 6 days, even in the rain 2 days & snow one day (first time I ever exercised while it was snowing, sort of fun). I'm right where I wanted to be for weight loss. I really wanted week 4 to be at 28Lbs. lost. But I don't think I will get there, the weight loss is starting to slow down.

Start Weight - 311.25

Week one ---- 304.00 - 7.25
Week Two --- 296.75 -- 7.25
Week Three -- 290.25 -- 6.50
