-- 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

Pretty much every liquor is the same calorie wise and it's based on the proof. If it's 80 proof bourbon, vodka, or gin it's going to be very similar.

Also, I want to reduce starch to about 40 grams per day. Morning oatmeal takes about 20 of that so this will be tough.

I'm embarking on this journey with you all today and throughout the month of April. I have reservations for my birthday in a couple weeks and am returning to KC the last weekend of April for a birthday party. Otherwise, low carb, clean eats and sans booze for me.

Thanks for this thread!

I say this with 100%% sincerity, but Wal-Mart is a pain in the ass to get to where I'm at and I really enjoy their Clear American Sparkling Waters, especially the cherry limeade flavor. While road tripping through Iowa this weekend, I spotted a Wal-Mart Supercenter and loaded the **** up on it. First time I've seen it in cans. Everybody up here drinks La Croix like its some sweater tied around their neck, but I don't really care for it.

I've been consistently exercising 3 days a week since January, but didn't alter my food intake. Thought I would lose some. And I did. Enough to comfortably get back into my jeans (down to 225). But, I expected more. I didn't realize how many calories I was taking in on a daily basis until I counted one day. Blew me away.

So for the last 7 days or so I've started to watch my calorie intake, as well as cutting back on beer & maintaining my exercising. Haven't noticed much of a difference yet, but I'm hoping the combination of the three will show some results.

I don't drink much during the week anymore - unless I'm sitting at a bar watching basketball. If I do have a beer in the evening it's after 8p and I generally don't finish it. With basketball basically over for the year, I'm going to try to stay away from beer for 1 week. Instead, if I just have to have a drink during the evening, I'm going to switch it to a vodka/diet dr pepper.

I've got a double negative going for me in regards to where I carry my weight. Not only is beer a weakness, but all the men in my family carry the weight in the same exact spot. I figure if I don't get on it now, I'm going to end up looking like a 9 month pregnant woman by the time I'm 50.

SR, I was exactly 1 pound more than you this morning.

Oh, ideally my doctor wants to see me in the 180-185 range. Personally, I'd be fine with 190-195. So I've got anywhere from 30-45 pounds I'm supposed to lose.

Personally I've never liked the combination of bourbon/whisky and diet soda. The diet stuff has always paired better with vodka, not sure why. Vodka/diet root beer has been a recent go-to, after a bourbon/coke or two to get started.

It's always fun to weigh after a down day. I was down 4.4 lbs, to 220.8. Of course, most of that will be back after today.

Sparkling ice brand drinks have a good zero calorie cherry limeade. I'm not sure if you can get it outside of a variety pack though. You can find it ar Costco.
