I've been a bad girl all week! Something about Easter holiday...eating cures boredom unfortunately! As of today I'm buckling down again!
So far:
Breakfast: Oat Crisp cereal w/ half a banana and Light Soy Milk (with cinnamon) about 200 cals
*RUN*
Post run snack: 250mL Innocent smoothie (sooo good) 130 cals
Lunch: Wholegrain bagel w/ Greek tomato okra mezze (from Tesco) and homemade soy yogurt tzatziki and big pink lady apple 550 cals
Snacks to be...:2 big carrots and 2 sticks celery w/ homemade muffin = 220 cals
This is a great thread! Its good to get support like this, because then you're more motivated to stick to it! Great for people with portion control issues (LIKE ME!) xxxx

I will reward myself at the following weights: 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it.
I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running.
I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.

Quoting: Glennybobenny Great for people with portion control issues (LIKE ME!) I am one of them. I have severe carbs eating disorder. I want to say thank you to Cardio again creating this thread.
Today:
Pre-workout: raw oatmeal, applesauce
Post-workout: pineapple, cottage cheese, peanut butter
lunch: black bean soup, grilled chicken salad, apple, more than enough sample size tomato basil bread
dinner: deli turkey hams, yellow bellpepper salad, pineapple, banana, peanut butter
snack: decaf coffe with low fat milk, apple
I gave myself B because I ate too much of the tomato basil bread samples.
I met my nutritionist today. I have lost some fat. But, also lost lean muscle. She said I did not have enough protein yet. I need to improve more. God...I thought I have increased a lot already. She told me to eat protein everytime when I eat carbs. It means when I eat an apple, I need to eat some protein as well. It seems hard to me.

Okay...so far I've had 1300 cals today:
Breakfast: homemade pancakes...soo good I'm gonna provide the recipe!
1/2 cup oatmeal (the ground up kind)
3/4 cup plain flour (i didnt have wholewheat but feel free to sub!)
150mL low cal soya milk with 1 tsp apple cider vinegar mixed in (this gives a buttermilk effect of a nice crumb, you dont taste it...can also be lemon juice or normal vinegar. Leave this to curdle for a bit)
1/2 tblsp margarine (melted)
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
a pinch each of allspice and nutmeg
blueberries
mix together the dry ingredients. mix together wet ingredients. Spray your frying pan with non-stick spray (if you need to...i'm sure a non-stick pan will fare fine without) and do your pancake thang! I put the batter in the pan first, and dropped the blueberries in on top (more even coverage) .
I had this with a teeeny tiny bit of maple syrup and it was yum yum yummy...it made me 11 pancakes, me and my sister both had 4 (about 8 cm in diameter each) and I had 3 left over to freeze and pop in the toaster for breakfast on the go during the week!
Well...anyway that was about 350 cals
Snack: Pink grapefruit (80 cals)
Lunch: Wholemeal toast sandwich with reduced fat hummus, one falafel and sundried tomatoes (250 cals), Chicken noodle soup (200 cals) and a soya yogurt (100 cals)
Snack (in town): A blood orange, a plum, grapes, strawberries and a little banana (220 cals)...I had a lot
Then at home I had a slice of white bread (booo dunno why i did this!) 100 cals.
And now I'm going to Thai...MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE!! I need to be careful...looks like I'm gonna have hot and sour soup and some veggie main so I don't go over my 1850 limit! At least I worked out!
xxxxx
p.s. I apologize for constantly switching between metric and imperial...just a habit having lived around lots!

Today is a rest day. No pre/post workout meal. I did yoga in the evening. But, the yoga instructor told me not to eat within 2 hrs before the class. And,...yoga does not seem killing a lot of calories. I guess it is ok not to have pre/post meal for it.
Anyway, today:
Breakfast: low-fat chocolate milk, apple
snack: almond, soy milk,
lunch: Alkins Peanut Butter Garnola bar, banana (after the dentist appointment, could not eat "real" food.)
dinner: lean baked chicken breast, tomato salad
snack: grape, hard boiled egg
I gave myself B+. Every meal has more protein compared to last week. But, I don't think it was a good thing to have bars as lunch.

Quoting: rach_1623 add some peanut butter to that diet!!! I love it!! Me 2! Peanut butter is a good protein source. I am afraid I will eat the whole jar if I let myself have it all the time. So, I am trying to control by eating only 1 to 2 tsp and not to have it more than 4 days per week.
I need to find more variety of protein sources for snack.

Oh no! I didn't go to thai...I WENT TO INDIAN! Sooo greasy...but I think I had about 800 cals there (no rice...and lots of vegetables and lean chicken jalfrezi) should be okay, put me at 2100 yesterday, but its fine because I burned 1000+ cals yesterday and feel fine today!
Breakfast today: Blood orange (45 cals) and half a cinnamon raisin bagel with almond butter (250 cals) YUM YUM!
I'm going on a road trip today, so no activity and having Italian with my family and my sister's boyfriends family...I took a look at the menu on the website doesn't look too difficult to maintain healthiness! I think I'll pack some snacks for the road...crackers, carrots that sorta stuff. Yum yum!
See you all on Sunday!

Today:
Pre-workout: raw oatmeal, applesauce
Post-workout+breakfast: cottage cheese, pineapple, banana, peanut butter, carrot juice
Snack: FiberOne oats chocolate chewy bar, deli ham, soy milk
Lunch: big plate grilled veggie and mixed green salad, mixed beans (black, lentil, pinto, etc), chicken masala
Dinner: salmon, stream veggie, 1 oreo cookie
I gave myself B+ today. I should have enough protein in each meal. But, think I should have 1 snack time between lunch and dinner. And, the oreo cookie has further downgraded myself at the end.

I never had any push --- any drive--- any motivation what-so-ever to quit eating so unhealthy and start exercising, until last year. Last year I weighed a total of 265LBS (wow, I've never been able to admit that...) I did not have dreams, goals, or a healthy agenda...Until I decided I wanted to become a Deputy Sheriff for Ventura County, CALIF. I have been working hard everyday to achieve that goal and I have made a dramatic change in my lifestyle. I now weigh 213 pounds and am looking more support online.
Update: 07/16/2008
I have started Isagenix and plan to blog and vlog about the whole experience. I am half way done with it and about 16 pounds lighter. I am truly happier on this because it is training my body to not eat as much or have the desire to stuff my face nearly as much as I use to. I am currently 197 LBs and so happy.

I am 43 years old and am married to my wife of 20 years, Pam. We have 2 sons ages 19 and 17.
This is around my second month of eating and living better. I started out at 265lbs. Through good food and walking I am down to 240. This is due to the great support I get from my wife and kids. I have gone from a 38 waist to 34 and don't plan on stopping there. I going to keep going until I get to 195 or I just look so good there is no reason to move on.
I do however have to thank Fat 2 Fit Podcasts and Motivation to Move. Without them this would be alot harder than it is.

Today:
Breakfast (at a Hilton hotel): 1 egg, baked beans, lots of satueed mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, 1 hash brown and lots of fruit (=700 cals)
Lunch/Roadtrip Snacks: 1 homemade muffin, dried cherries, handful of almonds, Ryvita goodness bar and a banana (=600 cals)
Dinner: 3 tomatoes, Veggie burger with sundried tomatoes, 1 slice WW bread, 1 slice pumpernickel bread
Dessert: A tomato and an orange
TOTAL: 1800
Dennis! Quoting: Justdoingit Total for the day = 1410 and my daily should be 2660 is this to little? That is certainly too little for any man! Make sure you get those calories up...one day will be fine but if you make a habit of it you will soon feel lethargic and slow down your metabolism (meaning: you will only burn as much as you eat, so when you do increase your calories it will be stored as fat! Not good!) Eating more may sound counterintuitive in the weight game, but you gotta keep that metabolism revved if you want results! Eat more! Certainly since you can!!

I agree with Glenobo also. 1410 is way too little for a man who needs 2660 daily.
I am trying to lose weight also. My nutritionist told me to eat more in order to lose weight. It sounds contradicting. I was skeptical also. After 2 weeks, it seems working.
Today:
Pre-workout: raw oatmeal, applesauce ��" ½ cup each
Post-workout & breakfast: pineapple, cottage cheese, soy milk, grapefruit ��" 1 cup each
Snack: soy milk, fiberone granola bar ��" 1 servicing each
Lunch: Chicken ��" 1 oz, snapper ��" 3 oz, Mixed veggie (bellpepper, mushroom, pak choi) -3 cups
Snack ��" Dannon yogart ��" 1, peanut butter ��" 1 tsp, baby carrot ��" 10
Dinner ��" deli turkey ham ��" 2, Baked pumpkin ��" 1 cup, mixed veggie 1 cup
~1500 cal total. I gave myself A-. Each meal has good amount of protein. But, my dinner seemed too light.

Breakfast: 3 pancakes and maple syrup (300 cals), 1 egg (100 cals) and a small glass of smoothie (80 cals) = 480 cals
I'm gonna do a yoga video, and then have
Lunch: Big tofu scramble (not sure bout the kcals yet, should be like 400 plus if I have some crackers or something too...)
Then I'm walking/cycling to Tesco's to buy some fruit and veg. And then doing a run and some toning. Yaaay (I hope weather permits!)
