It's a temporary diet, but I need to cut calories. The holidays kicked my butt and I gained a few pounds.

So, I'm going to strictly eat (as much as I can stand it) apples, oatmeal, and fat free cheese. I keep putting off going to the gym for whatever reasons. It's a lot harder to get back when you break the habit.

but anyway, over the summer i started dating someone that can eat anything and everything and barely gain weight at all - and in the process i ended up gaining ten pounds and coming just shy of my biggest weight ever. i got up to 150 lbs all over again. so what i decided to do was just limit what i ate. i'm eating about one bowl of cereal and one lean cuisine/smart ones a day until i lose it all. i'm so fed up with being big! but i've been doing this for two weeks and i am fitting back into some of my clothes, so that's good, even though i don't think i've lost more than two pounds yet.

also, as an extra incentive, i think i might be trying to fit into a wedding dress a year from now.. and damnit this weight will be gone by then.

I too will be doing the South Beach Diet, starting Sunday (first day back to work). My approach this time around with dieting is actually cooking my meals for the days I will be at work. I'm really burned out on my usual staple diet food. I honestly could not eat another turkey burger of a certain brand i usually get or a pre-grilled chicken. Im trying for baked chicken and actually grilling ground turkey meat on a George F grill.

I've been hooked on Coke Zero for awhile too. So, I'd like to go back to drinking water like I have before. I'll be phasing it out (1-2 cokes a day, then none).

I'm going back to the gym Sunday. Man, do I hate doing cardio on a machine. Give me acutal outdoors, plz. But the reality is that I work during the daylight hours and it's not safe or healthy to jog at night. I'm baby-steppin' it. A 30-45 minute walk seems resonable lol

whew..Im gonna try to be good for the next couple of months, which includes Birthday parties, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc...(bad foodstuff)

I went to the doctor today. My last check up was three years ago. When I was weighed then, the doctor said I had lost some weight since my last visit. Shortly after that visit, I really started shedding the weight.

Even though I'm at a plateau these days, I realize that I lost 15-20 pounds over all in the past year.

Today the doctor told me that I've lost about 90 pounds since my last visit three years ago.

35 pounds (to my goal) doesn't seem so hard now lol

Since I never weighed myself cause I figure it would "scare" me from a goal, I never knew how much I lost.

It breaks down like this:

3 years ago: 280 - 290 pounds
1 year ago: 210 pounds
Today: 193.00 (Ive gained 5 pounds...I weighed 188 in June)

No exercising for me tonight....still have a fever and now I've got red splotches all over me :(

my little nazi diet plan has paid off a bit. i'm finally into the 130's, which means just 11 more lbs and i will be in the 120's, WHICH HASN'T HAPPENED TO ME SINCE HIGH SCHOOL. so yeah. seven years. kick ass.

i've been eating go lean fiber cereal or raisin nut bran, and half a turkey/spinach/wheat sandwich at night. i supplement with fruits and vegetables. i have lost my multivitamins and need to buy more.

anyone have any other good ideas for supplements? i'd heard of flaxseed, but i already get that in my cereals.

been running a LOT. i can do seven miles now, but i generally just do that once a week, and maintain my 3.5 - 5 the other days, probably 4-5 days out of the week.

sorry i haven't been such a champ about updating. i feel like i get repetetive, but i guess that's the point?

can't think of anything else. hope you guys are doing well!
