Well I'm late to the party but want to join the group! I'll start day one tomorrow morning. I'll do it at 5am to start the day off but will probably have to do it in the garage b/c i don't want to wake up my wife and daughter while i'm slamming around in the living room. I think doing this in the morning will be good to…

this is a highly debated topic on these forums. you could run a search about it and find multiple threads with varying perspectives. i believe the best advice was mentioned above about listening to YOUR body. everyone's body is different and reacts differently to a wide assortment of variables. you might have to mess…

MONDAY MORNING 6am I weight myself after I wake up in the morning and use the restroom. I am strict on the Monday weigh in b/c it motivates me and keeps me in check throughout the weekend. I know that the scale is not going to lie to me so I'm very serious about sticking to my schedule and not veering off course on the…

Usually two scrambled eggs, no milk, and some cheese or tomato mixed in. Usually stay away from any type of juice b/c i like to avoid the blood sugar spike. That is just me when it comes to the juice intake so don't take it to heart.

I know the tanner my wife gets the less I see them. Not sure if you tan easily or are interested in tanning beds but it helps my wife. Just offering my two cents.

I like the way you think Sir!

yep that helps a lot. I knew the meters either checked blood sugar or insulin just didn't know which. Thanks for all the input people!

Wow thanks a lot!

I don't have as much expertise about this but i do believe that if you are like me and at least 50lbs over your suggested weight then it is okay to not eat back those calories. Just my 2 cents.

I used to eat it raw until it freaked out my wife. Now when I do eat it I will mix in some spicy mustard or regular mustard. Relish is really good with it also. Now that I think about it it might be nice to mix in some chopped up bell peppers. It is always great on tiny flatbread sandwiches or TOAST! If you're avoiding…

So instead of updating this thread on a regular basis I will update my blog on my home page. if you are interested in following you can just click this link. Not sure if we have to be friends or not to view it but if so just shoot a request and no problem. Hope everyone is having as awesome a day as I am!!! DAY 2 HERE WE…

My wife is having the same problem with the scale. She has completely transformed her body with a committed workout routine over the last year. She has settled in at a weight and can't seem to get past it. But when I look at her intimately I can definitely tell a huge difference. Her body has shifted insanely and I believe…

I will definitely take into account all the advice and support! Just to clarify I consume about a gallon of water a day already just to stay hydrated. I carry a gallon jug of water with me and keep it cold with the freezer at work or home. I also want to clarify that my goal after this challenge is to maintain a healthy…

I grill boneless chicken breast and cut them up and mix in with spaghetti. You could just use noodles and some tomato sauce to keep it low calorie. Or you could slice it up thin and use some flatbread with a slice of colby jack cheese to make a low cal but filling snack. All kinds of stuff hope this helps!

Oh and I forgot to add that you should log every thing you eat on this website. Make sure you are specific with the type of food you're entering in and portion sizes and calories. The only way to know that you're meeting your daily calorie goal is to enter it in precisely. I know it is a pain in the butt but eventually…

You need to get on the scale tomorrow morning and every morning. No one is going to hold you accountable for what you're doing but you. And when you get on that scale and realize that you've put two pounds back on after you busted your *kitten* to lose it you'll realize that extra bowl of cereal wasn't worth it. Try…

Is your wife overweight too? I know a common theme amongst couples when one person is trying to lose weight the spouse will be negative b/c they fear you're going to change your life for a good and they might get left behind. I think you should sit down with her and explain to her that you need her support. The biggest…
