OT Diets

I skipped lunch two days in a row and lost 8 lbs. :-) Seriously now,
I've
got a high metabolism. Found myself drinking as many as 6 to 7 Dr.
Peppers
a day (been doing that for over 20 years). Gave them up cold turkey in
October and lost 15 lbs. I'm also now doing regular exercise on the
Total
Gym and, though I've not lost any weight, I've lost 3 inches around my
waist
(down to a 31). Problem is, now I need new clothes.

friggin' 'ell Frank, there wasn't much of you to begin with . . . .

Well, got a new problem. The muscle toned up real well. The fats not gone
away so now I got more jiggles than a stage full of fan dancers. Sleep with
that thought burning into your brain tonight.

Started dieting two weeks ago, and I was wondering if any of you have any
success/failure stories regarding dieting and weight loss.

My folks started the Atkin's the first of the year, they have both lost 30
pounds...

I started at 235 lbs. and hope to drop down to around 205. The beer and
pizza diet hasn't worked so far, maybe if I switch to Lt. beer...

just go back to school- :] the stress, combined with lack of time for
meals makes for a very effective weight loss program!

No more stress required at this time... Cabin fever has me twisted up as it
is! Hope to move past the winter blues starting March 31st on the
Bitterroot, that will be the spring opener for my fishing buddies and
myself... Can't wait!

Tonight I am going to switch over from 12 to 16 ouncers, the added weight
should help drastically. I will also drink faster so my trips to the
refrigerator (good exercise) are not cut down with the larger containers...

I found when I lived in Whitefish, MT and was up to 210, that the added
weight allowed me to stand in faster current with confidence. (Fished the
Flathead all year round--extended whitefish season)

All the fat must have gone to your head (instead of your hips). :-)

Cut "to the chase" for my email address.

Started dieting two weeks ago, and I was wondering if any of you have any
success/failure stories regarding dieting and weight loss. I'm using a
modified
Atkins, low carb, but with a greater variety of veggies than allowed an
the
strict Atkins regime. Results so far, 8 pounds lost in two weeks. I have
had a
bad cold for most of this time, so haven't been exercising. I expect to do
better once I get back on the treadmill. I'm looking to lose around forty
pounds.

I'm a huge skeptic regarding "name brand" diets. Adkins is dead from
coronary artery disease. Those with a financial stake in selling his name
may have no qualms about downplaying the relevence of that; but IMO, it
ought to be a wakeup for anyone having the steak entree with a side order of
steak. I think almost everybody knows that eating less, eating more
sensibly, and getting regular exercise are the real keys. OTOH, if
following some predetermined regimen helps you do that, then it's served its
purpose.

As a preamble to my present, ongoing story, I'll boast that I am now a USSF
certified referee. In going through the coursework, however, it was clear
that I was going to need to do some serious running to do the job well. I
had to be honest and admit I was in no shape to chase kids up and down a
soccer field. So, beginning Feb. 4, I began cutting back on the food &
hitting the exercise equipment collecting dust around here. Nothing
approaching starvation, just taking smaller portions and resisting second
helpings. Basically, if I'm not hungry, I don't eat. Fortunately, I
actually like rice cakes (white cheddar).

I also started running. Thought I was going to die. As a testament to
just how far gone I was, the first day I managed a slow jog for about 1/4
mile before having to stop & suck air. Walked the rest of the mile. Three
weeks later, I can manage to run at a decent pace for about 3/4 mile without
feeling like I got hit by a truck. And this morning I finally hit the magic
200# mark, down from 215.

March 13 is my first game as a ref., in a 16-year-old boys tournament. If
I don't post after that, you'll know I'm dead. g

I agree with your assessment of the name brand diet thing Joe but
Adkins died of head injuries he suffered during a fall on the ice.
There is some debate about his health prior but the it was the head
injury that did him in.

I've cut out any beer during the week (TGIF!) and started bring my
lunch to work vice fast food, back to the gym three days a week and
have lost 11 pound in two weeks.
