2012 weight loss group

[fishman]

Deer meat and portion control helped me lose 40 pounds last year. I gained 7 pounds back because I feel like I lost a little too much. Just remember when you lose weight a trip to the department store is in the future.

My goal is to lose the 30 pounds i gained last year. 230 to 200

I'm in...

Lost 20 pounds two years ago but I've slowly added about 10-12 of it back on. I lost mine using portion control and walking ~3mi. 3-5 times a week. My goal is to go from 200+ to just under 190. That should be enough to help the IWB fit a little easier and I know that I'll feel better.

I lost 5 pounds yesterday!!!!

Bought a new scale.

Our old scale was very old and analog... This new digital one is much nicer, and... it shows that I'm 5 pounds lighter than I thought. haha
I'm still going to try and lose 10 pounds though.

Weighed myself today.. Lost 3 lbs. Mostly due to my mother-in-law's cooking. Filippino food takes some getting used to...badly cooked Filippino food makes me loose weight. LOL

Fours weeks in and I've lost a total of 5 lbs. Not exatly what I was hoping for but since I spent the past week recovering from an illness I'll take it.

Awesome! I was about to check in here too. I've lost 4 lbs since Jan 1, which I'm happy with because I was only trying to lose .5 pounds per week based on my calorie intake. I think cutting out the fully leaded sodas has been the biggest contributor.

That's a lot per week. Just from diet change? Do you exercise a lot already or something?

The best diet I found was NutriSystem. A couple years back I lost 50 lbs on it and have kept it off.

I am now a pesco-vegetarian. the only meat I eat is fis with the very occasional piece of beef. About 1 steak
every 6 months or so.

As a result my cholesterol has been running about 130 with all the other numbers being almost perfect.

About 19 years ago I had a heart attack and about 5 years ago I was diagnosed as a borderline diabetic.

Today everything is totally under control. I am 70 and hoping to live to see 71.

Alright, I'm in again.

Last fall, I decided to get serious once more. Started at 242 and set a goal of 232 by Christmas and beat it by 2 pounds. Didn't gain any weight over Thanksgiving or Christmas, but slacked off a bit after the New Year and am back at 232. My goal for my birthday in May is 212, and hopefully 200 by the end of the year.

I don't have any real desire to get all buff (it would be too hard to keep all the ladies away! ), but it will be nice to get back into some 34 waist jeans once again. I'm already seeing the 36s getting a bit looser and the 38s have been gone for a while.

No real big changes in lifestyle - just more exercise, smaller portions and no late night snacking binges. An almost exclusively venison diet helps with that quite a bit.

How much soy is in their prepared foods? I've heard about them and on rare occasion thought I might give them a try, but my biggest concern is soy is SO common, I'm afraid I would have a problem with their products. (I'm allergic to soy.)

Nearly all of the Nutrisystem foods have soy. I have been off of that diet for quite a while now. That may be something you can call them about. Maybe they have alternatives. All I know is that it worked well for me.
