Anna Blume Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Seven pounds in three weeks, and they really seem to be gone since you've moved from a quick drop to gradual loss. Impressive! So, what are you doing now that you weren't doing before the Challenge--or vice versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johnston Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Frankly I am putting down my fork and trying to exercise more. My starting weight was 273, which translates to 3000-4000 calories a day. I have tried to shaved 1000 calories off that, and try to balance out my intake by adding more fruits and vegetables. I consider fruits and veggies free food (as long as the preparation does not add fat). I am also trying to reduce fat in my diet. Last weekend I really felt that I over ate and ate the wrong foods, I saw the hard earned weight loss go up 2 pounds and then I cut back and have regained the loss as of this morning (I am at 266 again). This week i am eating out more often then i am eating in and make sure that I mainly eat veggies, skip dessert (ok, I really did have some chocolate twice this week) and limit alcohol. I also start each day with oatmeal or some other type of hot cereal. I am avoiding bread and rice and other simple carbs, and adding complex ones where possible. I also started to read "You on a diet" that has some nice insights. I also have a diet buddy that has been working with me to avoid temptation, especially in the store. My real lack right now is the exercise portion. I will be focusing on that for the rest of this week. Seven pounds in three weeks, and they really seem to be gone since you've moved from a quick drop to gradual loss.Impressive!

Scott Johnston Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 This has not been a couple week for me. Emotional eating from stress and to many meals out. I am up 2 pounds to 268. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 This has not been a couple week for me. Emotional eating from stress and to many meals out. I am up 2 pounds to 268.So, forgive yourself already. WE all have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Blume Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 You're still five pounds lighter than you were nearly a month ago. Were you to continue in this fashion, you'd be 60 pounds lighter in a year. That's pretty damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johnston Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Thanks Anna for the encouragement! Well after a little setback last week, both at the scales and in my head, I am back in the saddle, down 2 pounds to 266. Exersiced once this week and plan on at least two more times! Results to date right on target! You're still five pounds lighter than you were nearly a month ago. Were you to continue in this fashion, you'd be 60 pounds lighter in a year.

Scott Johnston Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Despite eating what seemed to be a lot this week, I am down another pound to 265. I have done some walking in the cold, and am in the process of torture renewal with a trainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johnston Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I am still at 264 after several weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Blume Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Well, my situation is somewhat similar since I've just spent a little over a week regaining and losing the same 1 1/2 pounds to remain 5 pounds lighter instead of 7 1/2 or 8. Plus, I am gettting a little tired of soup which has been the most convenient way for me to minimize the size of portions. Anything we can do to help? You've already recognized some of the ways you've been giving into temptation. Would it be possible for you to find some way get exercise while doing something your daughter (?) would enjoy doing with you--like biking when there's no snow on the ground or even long walks along a trail?

Scott Johnston Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Down to 266.2 tonight. I have down something everyday this week and really am putting more efforts into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Blume Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 It's good to learn that you're really determined now and that you are seeing results. Is there something new you are doing this week that is proving successful? Above, you started to record your meals, but stopped after jotting down one breakfast. Have you been keeping your own records? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johnston Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I am back down to 266. Since I last posted, I joined Weight Watchers and have been tracking my "points' via their website. I am now trying to bring my lunch more and not each as much at night. My progress may be slower, but I am definitely looking at the long haul.

Scott Johnston Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Down to 258. My girlfriend and others have noticed the difference, and I can more eaily tell when I am full. Still not doing enought exercise, but slow and steady wins the race. My pants are falling off and I had to buy a smaller belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johnston Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 My "official" mini session weigh in is 161.2 as of this AM. My goal is 5 pounds by December 31st. So, If I do the math right and without Jake's help, I need to be at 156.2 The office is filled with BBQ smells from some function here today and it is NOT getting me in the right mood.

Scott Johnston Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Today I am at 258.5 and 1/2 way to my 5 pound goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johnston Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 So my total lost for 2007 = 273-258 = 15 pounds. My total goal for the first half of 2008 is 10% or 26 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Blume Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Congratulations, Scott! Your desire to lose an additional 10% of your current weight in 6 months means you're striving to lose almost four times as much as you did in 2007 during the same amount of time. Any reason you've set such an ambitious goal this year? Weight Watchers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
