I’m happy that I broke the 200lb. mark (220 down to 199.5) I’m perfectly on schedule 2/3 weeks done (8 of 12 weeks) & 2/3 weight lost (20 of 30lbs) I’m unhappy that I have not lost more. I wanted to be well under 200lbs at this point. Every pound is getting harder and harder. I’m frustrated that 2 days after weighing in, my weight can be up 3 or 4 pounds. I’m mad that I have to work the majority of the week to get back to where I was, and then bust ass to lose a little more. No more cheat days! No more days off from cardio! I’m going to sample some of Syntrax’s...

Thankfully, I lost some weight this week!  2lbs!  I’m very happy with this!  Coming off a week where I didn’t lose anything, I stepped up my diet a little and kept a better eye on it. 203 to 201- Started at 220. I was really worried about this week, since I went back home to my parents house Friday to Monday.  I saw a lot of old friends, and most of those meetings revolved around food and alcohol.  I didn’t drink much at all, but I can’t say the same about eat.  It seems we always go to my favorite places when back home.  The type of food and especially potions are...

I’m disappointed in myself.  I didn’t lose any weight this week- stuck at 203.  My goal was to hit 200lbs this week. I think I have lost some dedication to the diet.  I’m a firm believer that eating healthy and exercising should be a lifestyle change and not just a “diet” determined by a time period.  Recently, I have stopped counting every calorie and eating my meals at a certain time.  Maybe I was premature to think I could handle my new lifestyle without writing everything down and counting every calorie. I wouldn’t say I have lost motivation, but I have...

Since I am moving towards video blogs instead of text articles, I am trying to build my YouTube followers. I have a lot of gluten free sample products laying around.  I am going to give them away to one of my YouTube Subscribers on March 15th, 2010. Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel and leave a comment on this video.  I will randomly pick one subscriber to receive the gluten free “goodie-box” on March 15th. Thank you!

After not losing any weight last week, I was really praying to at least see a few pounds gone this week.  I lost 3 pounds: 208 to 205. This was a good week, so I don’t have much to say.  I stuck to the diet, no big cheat meals, and got some cardio in. My Nectar protein packets have really become a staple on my diet.  One is always my last meal of the day around 10PM.  I shouldn’t have any carbs this late at night, so getting 23g of protein, 0g carbs, 0g fats, and 0g sugar is perfect! My goal for the next two weeks is to lose 5 pounds, so I will be at 200 starting the second half...

Everything finally came together in week 3 of my diet.  I was eating right and exercising.  I was looking forward to my Friday weigh-in. On Friday, I got on the scale…. 208.  NO CHANGE!!! How could this be?  I had my best week yet perfecting my diet and did the most exercise.  Was I eating too many calories?  Was I eating too little with the amount of workouts I was doing?  Was my last weigh in with very little water in my body and this week with a lot?  What’s the deal? Overall, I am not too frustrated by it… but really hoping for a better weigh-in next week. 2 tips:...

Week 2 turned out better than I expected. After losing 7lbs. the first week, I expected to only lose a couple pounds this week. Instead, I was shocked when I saw the scale at 208- a 5lb. loss. The week started out with having a bunch of friends in town and going out to eat a few times. This week was better than the last in terms of routine, since I was more accustomed to the diet and getting an exercise routine established. I still didn’t make it out to run as often as I should have, but I am making progress. I still stuck to my basic foods of chicken, tuna, eggs, rice, and vegetables. During...

As you know, I started a gluten free weight loss diet on January 1st, 2010.  My plan for the first three weeks is to eat 2300 calories per day- 259g protein, 201 carbs, and 51g fat.  I am spreading this out over six meals per day.  3 or 4 real food meals and 2 or 3 protein shakes.  I am also taking a multivitamin and fish oil pills because my meals are really lean.  It is still important to get your good fats. I lost 7lbs. during the first week, 220 to 213.  I attribute part of the 7lbs. to eating a few “final meals” just before Jan. 1st, and maybe a little water weight.  As...
