Turkey Trot Weight-Loss Challenge

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Dallas damage undone, physically if not mentally and emotionally. Time to get to work.

Don't forget to weigh in today everyone.

So, I went to lunch with friends today, and they all agreed on an insanely delicious, overpriced burger joint (Beck's Prime, for those of you who live in H-town). I have been eating really healthy lately and didn't want to blow it. I got to the counter and ordered seared tuna with grilled vegetables (okay, it's a great burger joint with a hoity toity menu), which was surprisingly good and presumptively healthy: tuna was lean, vegetables didn't appear to be sauteed or buttered. Small victory for this chubby brother.

Beck's is good. There is one downtown in the tunnels that I used to frequent back when the firm paid for a lot of meals.

Good work everyone. It's not too late to join. I am back from vacay myself, so now it is time to get to work.

GOOD LUCK this week!

I will weigh in the morning.

Forgot.

Down another pound for today's weigh in. It'd have been 2 more if i didn't have such a difficult time not feeding my face on Saturday and Sunday. Weekends kill me. With a golf/Holy War trip coming up this weekend, it could get ugly.

I went to update the second tab and my name wasn't on there.

I went ahead and added it, but the math didn't update on the main page.

I put on 2 lbs though, so I don't really care if the math doesn't work.

Whoa. I didn't even realize there was a second tab until you posted that. I've just been updating on the first page. Second tab is now updated with my info. I have not missed a weigh in.

While I still prefer the Daily Plate for tracking calories, the lack of a free phone version makes it not a viable option for me.

I recently started looking for other options and the calorie counter app from fatsecret.com for Android works really well. In particular it is nice that it has a barcode scanner to add food by scanning it.

I use myfitnesspal.com. I think it was FMCoug that suggested. It has a great, free app and a huge food database. They also recently added a barcode scanner, but I haven't really looked into it yet.

I have used the "that probably tastes too damned good to put in my mouth" plan. So far so good.

I'm basically on the same diet. Mine is called "That probably actually tastes good, as opposed to the crap that I should be eating." This especially applies before 8am (I hate oatmeal) and after 8pm (I love dessert).

Well, it was a good week, followed by a bad weekend that negated the good week. Have to double up this week to stick to my plan of 2 lbs per week.

Pretty much my plan too. I've actually been following some diet my old man has been on. Basically no grains. Lots of fruit, vegetables, meat, nuts, and beans. I've been eating 4 meals a day, nothing after dinner, and stopping before I am full. I have been tracking calories and am about 1500/day. Couple that with some exercise and I am seeing some results quickly. It's essentially the same thing I did 2 years ago when I dropped 50+ lbs. It sucked stepping back on the scale two weeks ago and seeing all but 10 of that back on. I am planning on having my first cheat day this weekend. I am looking forward to it. I just need to exercise some self control.

What I do is try a count carb servings and try and follow the food pyramid (obsolete I know) for the rest of my food intake - I am cutting to 12 from 14/15 per day. 12 servings was what I limited my self to when I lost the weight the first time
