Weight loss 2016 | Page 2 | The Compost Bin | Forums

Trying to lose about 20 more pounds. Restrict my diet, cardio, lifting. I used to be very physically active -- hard to find the time now.

I twisted my ankle pretty bad just before Thanksgiving and the lack of mobility coupled with the festive food from the holidays allowed me to gained quite a few unwanted pounds.

I quit eating carbs just before Xmas and have already noticed a difference in how my clothes fit.

I plan to stay on this diet until the end of Feb or until I lose 40 pounds. (which should be the end of Feb)

Have had great success with this before, but it takes LOTS of will-power.

Breakfast = 2-4 eggs and non-sweet tea

snack?? salad with mayo

Lunch = chicken or tuna - no bread or anything else

snack? salad with mayo

dinner = chicken or steak

will melt at least 1 pound per day off of you. No working out. No nothing other than eating what I listed above and NOTHING else.

If you eat a lot of sugar, the first few days are tough. People do not understand how addicted we've become to sugar.

After a week or so, all of the chemicals from the food you ate before are just leaving your body and you start getting the hang of your new diet.

After about 2-3 weeks in, your appetite just kind of goes away. You eat much less and the weight loss is going well.

I started I was at 223 pounds. haven't weighed myself yet, as I know it might discourage me. but My pants fit a lot better. Try not to look at the scale for the first few weeks. As sometimes the increase in meat in your diet will cause you to gain muscle.
