Emily-
I found the best way is to have a bet with some people. I did it with a few guys at work. We each put in 50 bucks and had six weeks to loose as much as we could. I won by tipping the scales at 203.5 from 229. That was two weeks ago. Never felt better and I can run forever right now. I did climb back up to 211, but that is still 18 pounds down and I have 150 more dollars in my pocket. I did it mostly by just eating hard boiled aggs and grilled chicken. Cut out all soda and beer (switched to Vodka / sugar free red bull's). And I ran alot. Sherry wants to start also. Tell Garret he looks fat and maybe he'll do it with you.
Sherry doesn't need to lose weight! That woman is already gorgeous!
My daily diet consists of half cup of rice krispies w/ skim milk and a half banana for b'fast....carb (usually brown rice or small sweet potato), a veggie, and yogurt for lunch....apple for snack between b'fast and lunch and then chicken/fish, carb, and a veggie for dinner. It's all based on the glycemic index. My blood sugar was all out of whack before....it's all good now. Also taking vitamin, chromium (helps regulate blood sugar) and calcium daily. Also have a few other little tricks but those are a secret...haha:wink: I can't eat eggs...so that cuts out that...and if I eat too much protein I get a damn kidney stone. I was on the Atkins diet a few years ago and it almost killed me--nothing says Merry Christmas like a kidney stone!! :grumble: I also lost a lot of my hair.(not in clumps or anything...just thinned it out a lot):bigeyes2:
This fat kid does
not run....it kills my knees but I walk so fast it's like a slow jog. I had to walk in the dark tonight but I still got it in. I carried a flashlight and cranked up Stephen Marley so I couldn't hear the creatures in the woods (we have wild boar, bears, gators, and panthers around these parts)
Garrett has actually been very supportive...except when he was eating that dang chocolate cake in front of me last night! He isn't walking with me cause he is too busy tinkering around on his ski. He is eating a lot better...just not as strict as I am.
I have managed to cut back my beer to maybe 2 a week(or less). I had two in one night last week and I was buzzed...I'm losing my tolerance...a cheap date now.:wiggle: It's tough...cause our neighbors drink like fish..and we have a party this weekend..but if it comes down to it ..I will just take a shot of tequila and enjoy myself :cool2:
