no updates for a while, hectic home and work schedules have kept me away from meetings for a few weeks but my plan is to go tomorrow night and stick with Friday's into the future. The Monday meeting always seems to get preempted by some other thing. We rarely have plans, and I rarely work late, on Fridays so maybe that will be better.

Been trying to be good but really need to get out and exercise more.
 
Since I'm not making meetings I decided to try something different for a few months. Seems crazy to spend $40/month for something I'm not using.

Sara has been using this app Lose It! | Fresh Apps - iPhone Apps with great success, and I am now set up to do the same. Basically a calorie counter with food values built in, tracks your eating day to day and week to week. She lots 20lbs the first month and she, like me, is basically attached to the phone so it's easy to track what you eat.

The app runs you through a setup mode with basica questions, height, weight, goals, etc. It had me set up to eat 2750 calories a day to lose 2 lbs. a week (won't go any higher). which equals about 55 WW points.

I was actually at 44 WW points so I adjusted it down to an even 2200. It's a number I know I can stick to, and will lose weight if I stick to.

Ordered a high quality scale with a BMI function and a top weight that accommodates my fatassedness. Now I can monitor myself at home.

So essentially, same program, different tools, and hopefully, continue with the steady results.
 
Good luck with it Dave.
 
body mass index, BMI (a measure of someone's weight in relation to height; to calculate one's BMI, multiply one's weight in pounds and divide that by the square of one's height in inches; overweight is a BMI greater than 25; obese is a BMI greater than 30)

I'm really not that interested in that number right yet but most fo the better scales have hit now.
 
My new scale arrived yesterday and I'm down about 6 pounds since my last Weight Watchers meeting, that's with clothes and shoes just like I would weigh at a meeting.

Of course now that I can weigh at home, in the morning, in just shorts and a Tshirt that saves me another 5 pounds or so.

So, if I look at the new scale as "starting fresh" I am "starting" at 355 (was 396 at WW in December). So a lot of progress has been made, but also much more work left to do. Would love to drop another 10-20 before FG and hope to be under 300 by spring. :)

When Jack was born and I lost the 100+ I was in the mid 290's and felt like a complete stud. Looking forward to getting there again.... and beyond. :)
 
Keep it up Dave!
 
Time for a bump to the top.

How about a change of pace this time around. The weekly weigh ins are too frequent for me. I'm thinking once a month.

Anyone with me for a first weigh in on October 31st followed by weigh ins the last day of the month. I'll post my numbers this time also.

I'm not a big fan of gorging my self threw the holidays and then deciding to get healthy come Jan 2nd.
 
Get a divorce, pay child support, close your shop and get a job, set up for foreclosure or short sale, set up cruiser for living and wonder where the weight went, what did I say, Congrats, ride a bike and keep it off. I'm gettin old and bitchey.
 
I had several friends go on the divorce diet and it was stunning how much weight they lost, I'd stick with exercise
 
I know this isn't exactly the same type of thing we're talking here but it does show what can be done in the span of a year. Maybe doing this every day will be extra motivation?

365 days of exercise. [VIDEO]
 
4-5 meals a day VERY SMALL portions kicks your matabolisim into gear (diet food no junk, over processed foods)
losts of cardio exersize (fast walking to a run for 30-60 min a day)

these are some of the best ways to loose weight normal walking wont do much for you unless you just want to pass time

start there

True but if you can maintain 100 steps per minute then you're burning good calories rather than sightseeing:)
