Biggest Loser CUF Edition

[Tick's wife]

I agree that it's a pain in the ass. So much so that it was also a deterrent for me to eat, especially to scavenge which is one of my weaknesses. I actually would not eat something because I didn't want to have to log in to my laptop to record it. Whatever works, right?

it's depressing and makes me not want to eat at all.

I didn't lose any weight this week. I'm fine with that. I think I went down too quickly the week before.

I was not as disciplined as I should be though. I shall improve on that in the coming week. I hope to work out more this week as well.

I didn't report on last week. I can't wait to be in my own place again. I don't like having to scout out a new running route every few days and I would need more control over my food. My goal for the first week was to workout 4 times, but I only made it 3 times. This last week was much better. I got 5 workouts in including a longer than usual run of about 6.5 mi. I'm down about 2.5 lbs. I have a bit of an advantage as breastfeeding gives me an extra 500 calories a day.

[Jarid in Cedar]

Same weight.

[ewth8tr]

Same weight.

I gained 2 lbs after losing 5 the first week . We went on a short trip to Durango, CO for my wife's family reunion as well as to see my Aunt and Uncle who own an Italian restaurant there. I ended up eating a lot of great Italian food and homemade gelato friday at their restaurant, followed by several plate fulls of brisket as the reunion.

Down 7 this week to 363. Had a really good week this week as far as exercise and calorie deficiency goes.

So far I am down 11 lbs. and I am 20% of the way towards my goal.

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

I weighed in at 295.3 today, since the website doesn't accept decimals I said 295. Tat gets me back on pace for 2 lbs a week and I'm feeling good. 7 lbs down total.

[Green Lantern]

Same weight. But I'm exercising more!

I am the opposite. Breastfeeding is a disadvantage for me as my body seems to hang on to the weight for dear life while I am lactating. I am weaning mine right now. (I know he's 2. Yes, I am one of those crazy granola moms that nurses her babies until their second birthday and I don't care what anyone thinks and yes he can ask for it and no, I don't think they are too old to nurse just because they can ask for it.)

I always drop a few pounds when I stop nursing. I really haven't been very good this passed week but I haven't nursed him in a week or more so even though I require fewer calories my body let me drop a couple of lbs. It doesn't really make sense.

When I weaned my daughter, it was right before Thanksgiving. I gorged myself on pie, rolls and sweet potato souffle for a whole week. When I hopped on the scale I found that I had lost 5 lbs even though I was expecting to see my weight go up.

I weighed in at 230 this morning. Down 15 from the start. So today, i am throwing my calorie watching out the window. Had a polish dog from Sam's Club and my mom made chicken enchilada casserole for dinner. Only 41 calories per oz. I ate a bunch. Now for angel food cake!

[Jarid in Cedar]

246. Gaining some momentum now.

[wuapinmon]

I've lost 13.1 lbs. I'm not really dieting, but I am trying not to eat after midnight. Once I lose another 18 lbs or plateau suddenly, then I'm starting South Beach Phase 1.

[Sea Chicken]

Maybe I should have joined this contest. I was at least 170 last month when I decided to try to trim down a bit before Top Of Utah. I'm down to 157 this morning, which if my math is right would be about 7%. I'm hoping to be under 155 by race day and eventually get down around 150 and hold steady. I miss cheeseburgers.

Doughnuts are like crack to me. Someone brought some into work on Weds and before I could even realize what I was doing, I downed one. It was pure instinct. Then, last night, I almost yelled at Mrs. DT because I got home from work and there was a box of old fashioned glazed doughnuts on the table. She bought them for a work meeting and brought home the extras. Why couldnt she just leave them at work? How am I suppossed to stick to my diet with them in the house. Its like a recovering alcoholic working at a liquor store.

Of course I had to sample one, just a small piece...Before long, the whole doughnut was consumed.

So you ate a donut. It's okay. Good job on not eating all of them all.

Krispy Kremes are dangerous for me because there's nothing to them—they are basically air with a sugary glaze. Pretty soon, I will have eaten a half-dozen and with it nearly my whole caloric allotment for the day. (Turns out those the original Krispy Kremes are 200 calories each. 200 calories! For fluff and air!)

Back on the wagon we go.
