The first full week of the new diet effort is over and done with. The response from this round has been great. I really like having family and friends join in on trying to get healthy. It helps me stay motivated and focused on my goals and I hope that I help others do the same.
Last week I weighed in at 207 pounds. I was able to play basketball twice, do some light jogging once, walking twice, and a little “yard work” once. As far as eating is concerned I did good with temporary lapses in judgement on Saturday and Sunday night (I had beer). But overall I think I did great this week.
As of this morning I weigh 203 pounds for a loss of four pounds this week. Since my goal is an average of two pounds per week this is obviously better than expected.
My goals for this week are to cut down on carbs, eat more fruits and vegetables as snacks, go completely beer and wine free for the week, and lose two more pounds.
How did you do? And what are your goals for this week?

It seems like the first week is always a big jump, doesn’t it? I’m in at 209.4 this week.
Are you using Lose It on your iPhone to keep track? I like it quite a bit, but it’s got its annoying points, like how you can only use certain units to measure foods in its database and the spell check is disabled for some insane reason when you add a custom food.
It’s got a nice feature where you can adjust your daily calories. I’m taking off an extra 100 to speed things along (and so I won’t feel bad in case I go over by a few).
I didn’t know about the daily caloric adjustment. I will definitely have to look into that. Bringing it down by 100 or up by 100 is something that a lot of people will probably need to do to find what they think is best for them.
Good work!
I lost 5 and down to 250.And I did good at the Mudge’s considering all the wonderful food saying “eat me!”
Nice job! Keep up the good work and it will keep falling off!
Freshy Ill and Sambo: Nicely done, dudes. Oh yeah, you too, Colin.
I lost 2 pounds, back to drinking water =)
