-- Let's talk about counting calories & routine

Hi Guys,

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.

Thanks again

Good job SR! I hope along Lew's fitness journey he sheds some negativity along with weight!

Oh - yes - short-term - yes for sure! I'd forgotten that - I'm undecided on my fitness. Thus far - my history has time spent with a trainer (in a gym) - used to be a hardcore runner (well sort of - 4 miles every day) - and have played ALTA and USTA tennis - I'm thinking gym minus trainer. Just want a gym that's simple w/o the ridiculous contract. I'll have to shop around, I guess.

I’ve got about 95% range of motion back in my neck so I’m hoping to get the OK to start driving again as well.

It’s easier for me to eat better throughout the day if I get a morning workout in.

You had to be in top physical shape to do those activities. If you did it once, you can again.

Hit my 2500 calorie target almost on the nose yesterday (2507). It's a down day today so looking at 500 calories.

I weighed in at 220.8 this morning. I started this a week ago at 225.2 lbs so a nice 4.4 lbs loss for the first week. I'm sure only a pound or so is actually fat but I don't care. It's still 4.4 lbs less to carry around at this point.

I know its not popular for some people but if you want to lose weight as fast as possible running is your simplest tool. Its not rocket science and you can do it anywhere.

Aside from swimming you burn more calories running than doing anything else. Its all about time maximization.

If you lift to build muscle and also run you will get the best of both worlds.

Burning 500 calories 4 days a week running will allow you to drop another .75lbs per week or more. And frankly there are a ton of ancillary benefits to running (duh).

If running is a stretch, start out biking. Still only get about 50% of the calorie burn in the same amount of time compared to running though.

well played sir

60lbs may be a lot to some but to me it’s just a start. I’m going to lose 150 lbs.

Jumping rope will offer significantly more calorie burn over an equal amount of time, compared to running. HIIT and rowing are also higher calorie burn.

Rowing is unbelievable. The book 'The Boys on the Boat' had some details that escape me but the sport requires more stamina than any other.

As for the OP topic, I had a bad week but Monday is my pivot day. Back to that grind. I did get some clothes from Germany (non-vanity sizing mind you) on Friday and I fit the 31 waist with room to spare. I think I'm at my goal as far as pants size but now I want to hit 180. I keep hitting about 184 and plateauing but im gaining muscle mass. Maybe I need to do some kind of a cut? I don't understand the whole cycling thing.
