Your doing great! You've already lost 49 lbs, that's something to be so incredibly proud of. I totally know what you mean about the salad dressing, it's funny huh? You order a salad, and yet the dressing is so high in cals, so I do as you do and bring my own. Keep it up, your doing awesome.

T.I.L.A.L.W # 11 - Being able to turn around & back the car up. (Not having to use the mirrors.)

I use to do everything possible not to have to back the car up. Parking the car further away so I could just pull out of the parking space. My excuse was by parking further away if was good exersise to walk. It was actually because I could not look over my shoulder.
But now I do park further away for the exersise. So I guess nothing has changed.

weight loss today - 1 Lb.
walking - none

Nothing's changed? Sure it has. You've gone from avoidance and denial to accepting responsibility and rising to meet the challenge. Good for you!!!

Weight today - 242.75 Lbs.
Weight lost from yesterday - none

I decided after I weigh in tomorrow I'm going to lose 20 Lbs. in 2 weeks. I see them do it all the time on the biggest loser & their no tougher than I'm.

Chip

Well I failed losing 20 Lbs in 10 days. So far I have gained 2 Lbs. So back to basics for me & my wife. That means back to my two week diet plan. For my first two weeks I will have one piece of fruit a day. Considering I have no fruit right now it a huge thing. There is one word for fruit yuck!!!! I do know it is good for me so I will do it.

We bought brown rice today, which we hate. We cooked it & it was pretty good.


T.I.L.A.L.W # 12 - I had to walk some hills today & I did without killing myself. Before I may have made it but I would have been out of commission for a few days. I had so much energy, when I got home I removed wallpaper from a bathroom in our home.

I had my fruit one pear. It was not all that bad. But I think of what else I could have eaten instead. But the whole idea of my diet is to lose weight & be healthy, so I think fruit is important.

Did my 4 mile walk.
Had lots of water.
Stayed in my calored range.

A Good Day.

Good day, I did my 4 mile walk / run, stayed within my calories & most of all ate my piece of fruit, today I ate an apple. My body may be going into shock having fruit go into it.

Chip

lol i never met anybody that didnt like fruit! Are you more of a nutty kinda guy?

thats what i was thinking, i love fruit!

troutman i love the name of your diary, its what made me come in and read!

Yes, I think I'm just plain nutty.

Chip

Had my fuit today, a tangerine. Still don't like eating fruit. Did my four mile walk. Stayed within my calories.

Had a very hard afternoon, a craving to eat like I could not believe. Did not have anything but it was really tough.


Chip

Hey Chip, Im new here, I just read your diary and I have to give it two thumbs up. You are full of good Ideas. My favorite thing being TILALW. You hit them right on the nose. I wrote down a few things last week, but they were negative things...What I hated about being fat. Like:

I fly a lot and find that Im running out of seatbelt on the plane
Some scales can not accomidate my weight...that just dont seem right.

Anyway, I like how yours are all positive.
I wanted to ask you about your running, how are your knees holding up. I am a runner too but I dont do it right now because Im afraid of screwing up my knees. I was going to "weight" until Im under 220. I tend to take it overboard and run far to long far to fast and I pay for it. But its a great way to lose the #'s
Looking forward to more of your TILALW's

Later

T.I.L.A.L.W # 13 - All the things I'm to embarrassed to mention. Maybe you might want to list them, and there are alot of them.

Fruit - I had a banana today, interesting what they taste like without chocolate, or ice cream. I forgot to buy my fruit today so I had to run over to the store at 7:00 P.M. to get it. Yesterday when I went into the store to buy my tangerine, the store checker looked at me like I was nuts. Yes I know I can by more than one fruit at a time.

Did not stay within my calories today . It was planned so its OK. Just wonder how much weight I will gain tomorrow morning. Did my 4 mile walk / run.
