I'm up to a 36 waist - thanks to Del Taco and a few others. As well as eating pretty poorly over the last year, or so.
I'm on a strict regimen now and doing a three week diet and then merging it into a new way of life. I have a history of eating well (normally) - but, again; have been quite clumsy over the past year or so.
My plan is to limit myself to 1100 calories a day the first week, then up to 1200 the second week, and then stay on or around 1500 calories as the norm, with one cheat day per week.
After the third week - I'll get back into some sort of exercise, which too will be part of the new 'way of life'
In this thread I'd like to discuss food ideas for assisting myself (& others) with weight loss.
Since Monday I've not gone above 1100 calories/daily - I have eaten oatmeal, oranges, bananas, hard-boiled eggs and in closing, in the evening - I'll eat one of the Chick Fil A Spicy, grilled chicken wraps w/o dressing (350 cals)
I'm open to ideas - but the goal is - finding items that are a little less common and more creative.
Please assist at your leisure - anyone else need assistance or interested in jumping aboard, I welcome it.

Anyone else on a regiment of diet/exercise right now? This is the time for it, man.. before football starts again.. :-)
I am doing 60 days of training... eating less, drinking less, and tons more exercise. I started out on the 1st of the month walking about 5 miles a day, and now I walk between seven and twelve a day.
Lost 17 pounds in 25 days.. definitely slowed down a bit over the several days.. I was averaging like 4.5 pounds a week the first several weeks. Started at 203, and I am down to 186.
Set three targets for my weight:
1) 182 pounds (10% loss) - fairly easy and should be achievable
2) 175 pounds - my main goal
3) 168 pounds - may very well be not achievable, but I figured I should set a very challenging goal as well.
40% through the days, and 60% to my main goal. I think it is going to be slower loss and more work from here on out though.
The walking may seem like a lot but 7-8 miles of that is on the beach in the morning watching the sun rise... not too bad of a workout.. :-) [Reply]
Checked the app and I've passed over 2500 miles walked since I started. Makes it more difficult when the temp "feels like" 102 degrees but I'm pushing through it. Got the experience from last year to help deal with the temps. Still trying to walk a marathon a week. [Reply]
