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.

Should be down to like 175 in a month. Life is good. :-)
You were already in good shape. Now all that walking means more BBQ! [Reply]
My rotations are still going well and I hit another new low this morning (206.8 lbs).
I like to hike our mountains in the summer and I finally found a place near my home to train. There is an old pumphouse along the river that has a long metal stairway going down to it. There is a long hill going down to the stairs. I walk down the hill, go down and up the stairs three times, hike back up the hill through a little loop and repeat. I only did the loop five times yesterday before my legs were jello but it's a start. My fitbit said I did 41 flights of stairs and 49 minutes of exercise, so :-).
Dog wasn't too sure about getting left behind on the stairs.

l lost 80 lbs and now it appears I’m kind of stalled. Doing the same thing but the weight is not falling off like it was. I guess a plateau was inevitable. Going to start eating a lot more fresh green veggies and see if that breaks the logjam. [Reply]

What he said.
Start throwing some weight training in there to build muscle as well and double your gains. :-) [Reply]
