7 pounds in a week? It took me a month to lose that much. What was your diet? Water only?

7 pounds in a week? It took me a month to lose that much. What was your diet? Water only?

It began with listening to a stop smoking advertisement I had heard on the radio. It suggested that people had activities that lent itself to smoking. Habits if you will.

So for the first two weeks I took note of what I ate and when and why. Some startling observations were made-

Between 6:30 am and midnite I would eat 1000 calories of food. Then in between midnight and 1am either here or watching TV I would consume another 2000-4000 calories!!! Then go to bed!!!!!

So first thing, NO MORE AFTER MIDNITE FOOD. Next, Have something for breakfast to get started in the day. Two- No more pizza and eat much less sandwiches. Been doing soups for dinner with a single small sandwich for lunch.

I have also started to use the tread machine at work again.

I went from 239.8 pounds to 232.4 pounds.




The draw back-

My stomach is still creating the acid quanity to consume 4000 calories which is messing with me some and the doctor has me on maxium medicine that requires food to take. He was amazed that I had no stomach issues. Now that I am beginning to eat normal I often get the "stop the bus" feeling after taking my medicine. But if I get my weight down, the blood sugar will come down and maybe I won't need so much (and avoid the requirement of Insulin which looked very likely at December).

My goal is 210 pounds. This is what I weighed my senior year of High School.

Good luck. I'm sure you can do it. That's a goal you can reach in no time.

I've noticed when I have a real job and real money I stop for fast food more often. Some times it's because I run out of time before work and need something to eat or at the end of a stressful night like tonight when I couldn't eat regularly. I went to McDonalds this morning and I shouldn't have.

sitting at a gaming table is not conducive to healthy eating habits. I have noticed that I'm one of the ones that eats the least so yay me.

I worried that my current job of sitting at a computer all night would lead to eating all night. I don't snack as much as I expected.

So you were taking in around 5000 calories a day? It seems you were able to burn some of those. You're not that over weight. I'm glad you're making it work. I think you found what worked for you and it should be a little easier to get it done.

Things are going your way for the moment. Enjoy it. I think you earned it.

After midnite-

typically I would eat a frozen Digerno pizza, two bags of extra butter microwave popcorn, a sandwich (while the pizza was cooking) and a 2 liter soda. Other tiimes a full cookie pan of buscuits that would then be heavily buttered with any number of things on the side from eggs and ham to 4 (yes 4) PB&J sandwiches.


As for how quickly I'll lose weight.... its always fasteest in the beginning. If I reach 210 by June I'll be happy.



eeeer.... screen went off for a moment. Better send. Later.

Way to go Mega positive always good to hear

myself I weighed myself after Christmas at 14stone and 2 pounds, and again now 13 stone and 7 pounds *does a snoppy dance*

I'm thinking this is mainly due to changing to salads for lunch and making sure I have breakfast every morning.

Salad I've replaced the spring onions with carrots and its a lot nicer now

P.S 14 pounds to the stone so I'm now 189lbs

Sounds like the Hive is becoming a slimer, stronger and healthier thread every day

Thanks for sharing.

Quiet still here at the Hive. I'm working on my Storyhour trying to complete the storyarc "Sharn: City of Zombies" so that I may start the Mror Holds storyline and the Mournland and Darguun ones before returning to Sharn. The Glossary is getting huge (62 entries so far with 24 Segments done). Not sure if anyone is reading or using the glossary. I have included several NPCs today including a Black Dog member.
