I'm in, though I would have to decimate myself to even have a chance at contending for the Target card. Still, I the other day I realized I am almost 20lbs heavier than I was when I married 10 years ago. I would really like to get back to that weight just to see how much of my lateral agility returns. I just don't know if finding out is worth an 1800/cal/day diet over the next 3 months.

Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock -
I can use the motivation, too. I'm in and ready to drop some pounds."What are you prepared to do?" - Jimmy Malone

I'm in like BYU in the Big 12!"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

I wish you'd started this Aug 1 (I've lost 21 lbs this month). Hopefully the 3 or so lbs I have left will win me top prize.
If only...

Have you quit eating altogether? 21 is just under a pound per day??? What in the world are you up too Blue? That can't be healthy can it???

(if it IS healthy...I want to do it!)
I want to lose 10-15 lbs or so. But, I am taking it much much slower than you are."Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest. Things in motion, tend to stay in motion...."
Hmm... Good motivation for me to remain active I guess.Comment

I think that kind of loss gives you a perspective on the weight I truly need to lose.Originally posted by Borg View Post
I moved to between 900-1000 calories a day on Aug 1 (I can only estimate what I was eating before but it was enough to feed a family of 4).
I eat an Atkins protein shake for breakfast, another for lunch (these have 15g of protein each and just under 200 calories) and a sensible dinner, usually a weight watchers frozen meal. My snacks are vegetables. Add in exercise (biking mostly-and no I'm not yet ready to join in the CUF fun
) and no eating after 7 and so far so good.
I chose to stop drinking my favorite thing in the world, too; Diet Coke. This has been the most difficult part along with bread but so far my energy is way up, my type II diabetes is in check, and I don't show signs of slowing.

You are awesome dude, way to go! I've dropped some weight too, and am loving it. A few more lbs and I'm back to the weight I was when I went to BYU as a freshman. I've got to get there, that is the goal.
I admire your determination and commitment. The hardest thing for me too, was slowing down the soda. I've not eliminated it yet, but want too. That is a toughie.
Great job. You should be on the CUF cycling tour next year.

Haven't you already lost a significant amount? That would have to put you close to goal weight no?Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment
