    I'm weighing in on Monday the 9th. I've invested in a vegetable steamer, treadmill and weights. I teach and I just don't have the time or energy to take a taxi to the gym and back.
    Some of my successful actions....

    *Make home made salsa in your blender, freeze the extra.

    *Grated cheese on broccoli.

    *Lemon or lime squeezed into your water.

    *Coconut will help subdue your cravings for sugar.

    *Aspartame slows your metabolism, your metabolism alone can burn fat off, so limit aspartame. If you find you are craving diet sodas, try lemon water. If it's too acidic, try it in warm water like a tea.

    *Organic hormone free milk if you can get it, I live in Egypt so that's a no.

    *Allow yourself some of the foods you enjoy, with caution. For example I really crave fries right now, so I may bake my own, and allow myself a potion of ketchup. However I will count the calories. They will probably cause me an insulin reaction and cause me to want more naughty foods... so I think I will attempt to eat them with a lean steak and steamed vegetables.

    *Fat burning foods are meats, cheese, yogurt, nuts and vegetables - they speed the metabolism (granted you don't have thyroid problems). Of course beans are healthy and are mid-range insulin reaction foods. However heavy carbohydrates and sugar cause major insulin reactions and act as storage food. If you can keep a ratio of 2-3 potions of fat burning foods to 1 portion of your storage foods in a meal, you're going to help your metabolism out big time.

    Starting weight: 259.4lbs
    Goal weight:187lbs
    Current weight: 255.3lbs
    Total weight lost: 4.1lbs
    This week's successes: Weighing everything (including me)
    This week's challenges: Drinking more water regularly and at least some formal exercise

    Did not achieve this past week: Structured exercise as I got a severe bout of IBS I think brought on by New Year celebrations (2 rather large cocktails!!) and felt really ill & lacking in any energy.

    Probably accounts for the big weight loss too but I will take it as a bonus and a warning.. no hitting the high life lol
