Weekly Weigh-in

The Puttmeister

We had friends over this weekend for four nights: Jenn and PuttPutt. We love when people visit. Jenn happens to be a great cook and brought a fresh salmon with her.

Great food. But she made us an awesome grape pie! One of the few things I cannot resist.

The numbers this week shows what pie can do!!

Here are this weeks numbers:

• This weeks weight:  245.9
• Loss this week: 1.1 pounds
• Goal Weight:  196
• Total remaining to goal: 49.9 pounds

--No PIE this week, dammit!!

Traveling

So I am taking a trip this weekend. Going to visit friends.

This is one of those situations where I can really hose my weigh loss efforts. There will be lots of eating at restaurants, beer, laughing, dumb ass stories and mountains meat from the smoker.

I will be careful when I can. But I will enjoy myself this weekend.

--We will see on Mondays weigh-in.

A Good Weekend

It was another perfect example why I like weighing in on Mondays.

Brenda was making soups and stews to feed us lunches for the week.

Because I knew I was going to weigh in tomorrow I did not over eat today. I am so much more likely to over eat if I am at home.

--12 hours until scale time!!

Weekly Weigh-In!!

OK People, it's time to post the news, Good or bad!

We will do this every Monday from now on. Mondays to ensure we are on plan during the weekends!!

Here are my numbers:

• Starting Weight: 270.0
• Today's Weight: 262.9
• Loss This Week: 7.1
• Total Loss: 7.1

This week I ate every meal saying, "I am stopping now even though I could eat ALL the bacon!" I also got several chances to wear my new hiking boots! Drank water daily. Started taking the stairs at least once a day at work.

--Time to Fight some Gravity!!

Why you don't have to give up chocolate to lose weight

For years, the myth has been spread that chocolate is a diet buster and absolutely has to be removed from your diet to lose weight. Whether you’re a chocoholic or just indulge from time to time, you should know that today’s research into chocolate is now connecting its consumption to lower weight. While moderation is still key, eating dark chocolate on a daily basis is more likely to result in weight loss than weight gain.

--I don't eat it myself.

Recipes!

So last night we were talking about recipes. I set up a new category for people to be able to post their favorite weight loss recipes!

What are you Eating?

--Let the Googling begin!!

Walk this way...

So I got my new hiking boots and I plan on using them. I have got to start off easy. Got to interesting places I like.

I plan on starting, "Coffee Walks".

There is Caribou Coffee about 5 miles, round trip. Starbucks is about 10 miles round trip. Bad Ass Coffee is 14 miles round trip! (Black Quad Espresso!!)

I like the idea of Coffee Walks because they would be better for me than say "Ice Cream Walks". (damn you Cold Stone Creamery!)

--Who's with me!!??

Anyone Can Join Us!!

Lots of people have chimed in, wanting to take the challenge with us.

Sounds like we will have several different weight loss methods going on at the same time here. Weight-Watchers, Atkins, Paleo Diet, No White Food, lots of exercise, and my "stop eating like a pig plan"!

All you will have to do is Weigh-In every week.

The starting gun goes off a week from tomorrow!!

--In the mean time, SPAM for dinner!!

12 Days Until Weigh-in

Today is the 15th of August.

Despite my best efforts, I was surprised to discover I lost 6 pounds at Pennsic.

We weigh in on August 27th. I plan to hit a few restaurants that I will really miss:

• Five Guys
• Aragato Sushi
• Pizza (done)
• Thai Taste
• McDonalds
• 7-11 Hot Dogs

What are you going to miss the most?

And so it Begins

This is the beginning of our effort to lose weight between August 27th 2010 and July 27th 2011. We are intending to be fit by next Pennsic.

To that end, our lucky few, will be each pony up $100 for the challenge! Spicing the pot!

I am hungry already!

Who's in!!??
