I need a little extra push to drop these pounds. I figured a relatively long challenge might help me out.

Anyone is free to join. Use this template below. Copy the most recent stats from a previous post and add your name on the bottom row. You can weigh in any day you want, but I will be posting mine on Wednesdays.

Good luck everyone!

I usually weigh in on Thursday at home and once a month at doctors. I will use my home scale which is three pounds heavier than doctors scale, but have weekly access to it. So here is mine.

Seriously can those people who are losing 3-4 pounds per week regularly please post your exact diet and exercise plan. I am getting damned frustrated with the slowness of my weight loss.

I will be weighing in tomorrow.

I don't have a diet plan. I don't track my calories at all. I really have no idea how much food I eat. I do an hour and a half of Bowflex every other day and bike about 70 miles a week. That is pretty much my diet!!I have no fill and have no idea why I am doing so good at this. I mean, I do know, I am not eating like I used to, but as far as eating certain things or not eating certain things, I don't do that. Well, I really haven't had bread for 3 months, but that is about the only thing that I have cut out. I eat steak, pork, chicken, rice, pasta. I don't eat my protein first as everyone says too, I eat my veggies first because that is what I crave, so that is what I feel my body must need. I can eat about 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups, depending on what it is. I do have restriction without a fill though, so I am waiting for the day this restriction just goes by the way side. As of today I am down 58 pounds in three months, including 2 week pre op diet. I am slowing down now though. I was at 5 pounds a week, then 4 pounds a week and now it is 3 pounds a week. So, it won't be long before I will be stopping or plateauing all together. I know this, but workout A LOT so I need more food to keep my body going. I am holding off on a fill as long as I can for now. Sorry I can't give you a diet that I follow, I guess I could write down what I eat for a few days and then tell you, if you wanted. Deanna
