I have a salad for lunch like 4 times a week.  Been doing that for five months.

I either have a salad or some fruit and yogurt.  I've been doing that for quite a while now.  It may not always be overly filling, but I find if i have a big lunch now I get really sleepy.  Sometimes though, those cravings for a juicy burger or something wins out anyway.

I've had more salad over the last 5 months than I had in my previous 47+ years.  And it's not even close :-)

 

2-3 eggs for breakfast, fruit between breakfast and lunch, a salad for lunch, a hand full of almonds between lunch and dinner and then dinner.

[wsnydes]

 

Seriously? I did it as an inside joke and just haven't changed it to something else yet.

Well, you're scaring the children!  CHANGE IT BACK!!!!

I needed to read the thread title a little closer.  I was confused on how the score could be 8-2 already.

You've seen this pitching staff, right?

[SwainZag]

This will be Joe's 11th career start in the lead off position and I full support it.

Okay, then what's for dinner?

[jimmer]

 

Okay, then what's for dinner?

Pretty much anything as long as it's not too much. I don't eat anything deep fried anymore.  I don't eat chips and I may have a handful of jelly beans a couple times a month.

 

I've lost 80 pounds since March 4th.

More importantly, what's for dessert?

Wow that's awesome!! Congrats! Hopefully you keep off what you've lost!

I do miss the unicorn cat logo....

It's a lifestyle change I've made.  I don't envision gaining any back unless it's muscle.  I start a 12 week weight training program on Monday.

Nicely done, sir!

Thank you.  It's taken a lot of effort, but I needed to do it cause I gained 60 pounds after having two physical situations that wouldn't allow me to exercise for over a year.  So I lost those 60 and 20 more to boot.

Pretty impressive. As someone who struggles to lose weight, don't suppose you can burn some pounds off for me too?

Getting going is the hard part.  Once you find that routine and make the adjustments, it starts coming off easier.  I've lost 30 pounds a couple of times.  I learned better habits the second time around and made the correct adjustments.  I've settled in now where I'm not missing out on food that I really like yet not over doing it.  Everything is fine in moderation!  Maybe not everything, but moderation is the key.

Only way I've had success as an adult was a low carb diet. Even that though is hard in that it doesn't drop off easily.

 

Traveling all the time doesn't help either, but to get you an idea, I went on a nutrisystem diet in the middle of training for a marathon and didn't lose any weight. My body is stubborn about those types of things, but when you are running 20 + miles a week and consuming less than 1500 calories a day, the weight should drop off in a hurry. No dice.

 

Low carb worked for me though.

[Mike Sixel]

 

So how much did you invest in whites?

 

you stole my line! never should have gone for that salad, and stayed here and ate a bar instead.

[diehardtwinsfan]

 

Better?

 

Your avatar needs dogs.

No, it doesn't.

congrats.

 

I decided at lunch to change my habits. I'll be starting a blog to hold myself accountable, expecting zero others to read it. but I know I need something to keep me more accountable.

I think I found a lot of it, I wish you'd come take it back...

Wow.  That is tough.  My problem was/is portion size.  Once I reigned that in, I've had good luck keeping it off.  I can eat basically anything I want, but it has to be in moderation.

[wsnydes]

 

No, it doesn't.

Trying to decide if I'm still scared from the previous one or if I'm now frightened by a dinosaur cat.

Beer and pretzel diet for lunch now?  That's what you decided isn't it?

and ice cream sandwiches for dinner, on top of more beer.

 

yes, I figure I should shed the pounds!

[Cap'n Piranha]

Hey everyone, I think we got this game today.  I just finished off my lunch, which was actually a chicken dinner.
