re: PuttaDaForkDown

Hadn't checked in a few weeks.Still been doing fairly well. As in an earlier post, I too boiled crawfish last saturday for the first time this season. Had some friends in for the weekend from Mobile. I woke up this morning to my lowest weight to date. 245.6/216.5/205(or less). Have adjusted my goal weight down 10lbs. My office has a biggest loser contest going and the final weigh in is this Friday. Cash money payouts for the top 3 finishers($500/$300/$200). I was in 3rd place at the last weigh in 3 weeks ago.

What does the middle weight mean that yall are posting? Is that the day before thanksgiving weight?

OK, didn't know if it was some sort of middle weight where everyone posted...

I guess I'll wait until I lose a few until I bother posting the trifecta. Not really sure what my goal is going to be but I'll start with a preliminary goal of 190

Personally I just cook something and eat on that for a couple of days. My George Foreman grill is also my best friend. Grill stuff fast as hell, quick meals. That's about it. If you're in a real bind and you have to eat fast food, KFC grilled chicken isn't too bad. You can also grab 2 McD's double cheeseburgers and ask for them only lettuce no buns.. But don't do that often.

Welcome aboard Powerman. P.S. how does this avatar suit you? Do I look like an idiot still?

- if u have a grill; make some skinless/boneless thighs the night before (you can pick up a pack of like 8 for $3 or so..super cheap) and stick 2 or 3 in a tuperware

- smoothie king has great low-carb shakes although $$$ ($4 for a 20oz..sheesh). my favorite is the banana. you can even ask them to put one small chunk of an actual banana in it and it really makes it taste delicious without adding much sugar

- hard cheeses (like jalesburg) are delicious to munch on at lunch

- i try to avoid the supermarket salads (like at whole foods) because even though i only load it up with lettuce and a couple of meat items..it seems i'm always up a pound or 2 the next day..i think those salad bars are sodium bombs.

- later on OWL to get u through the day, i've often bought those '2 for $1' planters peanuts and i'll eat one bag (300 calories or so) if i'm really hungry and need to pull the ripcord


honestly the best thing is to get up from your desk and make some trips around the office to get your blood flowing. that...followed by a cup of coffee has gotten me through more 'hunger' moments than anything.

i skip lunch these days (i know..not for everyone) but it works quite well. i know going home every day i've only had maybe 400 calories total (from coffee and my ubiqutius morning protein/atkins bar) so i plan to have a nice up-to-1000 calorie meal when i get home and i'm still *WELL* under my calorie threshold of 1500 even with a nice meal.
