Darn it! I could have predicted this but not any loss this week. Too much compensating for the brutal workouts I've been doing. Time to go back to cutting back on beer and ice cream.Leave a comment:

Not today. Lunch was BAD... Must eat salad for dinner...
I ventured out to Home Depot to get some shelving pieces for the shop, and was pinched for time. Carls Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger sure tasted good, but oh boy I don't want to see the impact of that! I went very conservative on the drink (Iced tea with sweet & low...) and barely touched the fries...Leave a comment:

FWIW one pound equals 3500 calories. To lose weight: cal in < cal burned. 300 calorie per hour exercise is pretty intense effort. The natural tendency when folks start an exercise regime is to also increase eating to compensate.
Weight Watchers has worked for many of my BikeForums friends. Truth is I'm hesitant to track what I eat because I am sure I eat much too much. Keep it up dbhost you are following a winning strategy!Leave a comment:

My weight from last week went down a LOT due to water loss from the reaction to the flu shot. That weight was back by Monday, minus 2 lbs. I am now back at the weigh in weight I was at Weight Watchers last week. All I have done differently is I am actually tracking, and more excersize. (However you spell that...)
So my loss for the week won't likely show up on the chart as changed at all if much, but compared to reality I am actually down about 7lb. So I am happy.
Tonight is taking the family out for dinner night. Chances are I am going to either do a Grilled Chicken salad of some sort, or maybe a grilled / BBQ chicken and hot veggies. LOML wants salad, I want hot greens, we will see what we settle on...Leave a comment:

The big steak dinner last night didn't help but for my 2nd weigh in...225.6lb. Down 2.4lb.
Can't say that I did anything drastic other than not getting seconds at dinner and I drank a lot less beer/alcohol this week.
Of course, my coworker brought in HUGE doughnuts this morning. I've got a bavarian cream sitting in front of me right now. If I keep typing, I won't eat it. Oh well.Leave a comment:

I've probably hit my winter peak and now the first ten should come off with only an increase in activity. After that it for me will take much more discipline at the food bag and pub. LOML on the other hand is on a diet that works. Nothing against y'all but I'm hoping she wins! If she does I might be able to get her out on a bike.
To be successful at losing weight by exercise means hard work that only gets harder as time progresses. It is worth the pain or discomfort to improve your health.Leave a comment:

I used to be an avid rider. I have a trainer that clamps on to my back wheel but after months of not riding, my "butt calluses" are gone, and with the extra weight, not as much fun to ride. Vicious cycle. Pun intended.
I use the treadmill more (which is right next to the bike). At least on there, I can rest my tablet on the treadmill and stream shows. I'm thinking of some pedestal thingy--like a music stand--I can make to hold my tablet in a comfortable position while I ride because I REALLY miss riding.
Every weight loss ad has that "Individual results will vary" or the one I like the best "Results not typical" statement.
When I was in WW, I lost a steady 1 to 2 pounds every week. Some people were shedding weight much faster and even reached lifetime after 3 sessions. You've just got to do what works for you. It's hard not to want to peak at your weight all the time, but I think WW does it right with once per week. For me, checking everyday is self defeating if I have a bad day.Leave a comment:

Mr. and Mrs. Walnut are scaring me though. Hey guys is this the norm for you? To get those kinds of numbers I would have to take a butcher knife to my gut...
On the plus side, when I drop the weight I am carrying, portaging my 80lb canoe will seem like nothing...Leave a comment:

I am in the middle of a 9 day intense effort cycling tour done to videos on a trainer. I've so far lost 5 pounds although some of that may be due to daily fluctuations. It is not exactly a low cost option but it seems to work for me. Already have a road bike and a passion for cycling and a competitive nature. I was able to pick up a used trainer to mount my bike to for about a hundred a couple of years ago, if i had to start fresh a good trainer costs $270-$350. The videos I use are part of the Sufferfest series from theSufferfest.com and sell for about $13 each as a download. My point is that I have found an indoor workout program that works for me. Swimming seems to be another popular indoor workout, around here the city parks dept. runs an indoor pool and for city residents the monthly cost is reasonable.
After this present tour I'll go back to riding outside weather permitting on the weekends, plus doing indoor trainer rides during the week.Last edited by Black wallnut; 01-29-2014, 02:47 PM.Leave a comment:

Can't seem to find my ActiveLink... Grrr... Oh well. Tracking, and using S-Fit on my galaxy... It's good to know how much excersize I am really getting...
Apparently working on the shop is good for weight loss! I just need to get LOML to believe this!
Weight is up from last week, but not shocked. I lost a LOT of water weight getting sick with the reaction to the flu shot. I am however down 7 lbs from the Dr. office so I am good... I think the water weight is back, and what I am down now I think I am actually down...
Too danged cold to go for a long walk outside, so we are working out in the house... Not much fun with no carpet / padding present. LOML is antsy. Can't blame her. The old carpet HAD to go, and we are working on smoothing / leveling the floor in prep for hardwood flooring... Man this is a LOT of work!Leave a comment:

No idea down how much. I updated the spreadsheet to reflect my "Official" Weight Watchers weigh in (What I am using to track). My starting point here is down 6.8 lbs from the weigh in last week...
No vending machine for me at work for sure! I brought a little tub thingy in my lunch bag full of fresh fruit. Blackberries and Strawberry for afternoon snack for me!Leave a comment:
