I'm down 3.8 pounds this week and 20 overall. 3.8 pounds is to much for one week, I haven't had much of an appetite and haven't been sleeping well, I'll have to watch the food intake this week.

Interesting discussion at WW this week. Talked about differentiating between being HUNGRY and wanting to eat...and....... being FRUSTRATED/BORED/ ETC. and wanting to eat.
Seems that, lots of times, we eat because of non-food factors. Also seems that the "not really hungry" times are when we BINGE eat.
One suggestion was to just eat an apple. Mostly, apples will cure the hunger part for a while. If you are still ravenous...it is probably not HUNGER that is doing it.
One catch phrase was "If hunger is not the problem...then food is not the solution"... I thought that was pretty good. Rich

Hmmm Many of our "losing weight graphs" look like the stock market charts. Lots of fits and starts ....................... always "climbing ( or descending) a wall of worry". ............and.....eventual success.
At least our charts point down... that is a good thing for weight. Ha Rich
p.s. I hit my lowest unofficial weight on my personal scale this morning. I'll have to see if I can keep that number until the official weigh-in mid-week, though.

Back on track! \/ 3.7 pounds this week AND I am eating more!
January 1, 2011 - 246.8 pounds House scales...They LIE! :LOL2:
January 7, 2011 - 239.0 even 7.8 pounds. Good but it will slow down now going forward.
January 14, 2011 - 232.4 6.6 pounds this week. I hit the Gym every day and killed myself shoveling this week :LOL2:
January 21, 2011 - 230.2 2.2 pounds this week. This is where I need to be weekly, but I was hoping for more!
January 28, 2011 - 227.5 2.7 pounds this week. The 4 hour shoveling yesterday helped this along for sure!
February 4, 2011 - 227.7 up 2 ounces! :shock: This bummed me out a little because I did not cheat. I did however feast on a baked ham all week and some homemade chili. So I am wondering if this is sodium/water retention. I must say though all my clothes are fitting even losser this week. Maybe all the snow shoveling is causing me to pack on some serious dense muscle mass. :LOL2:
February 11, 2011 - 229.7 No comments, except that I have been focused since Tuesday. Better results will happen next Friday I hope.
February 18, 2011 - 226 Even 3.7 pounds this week. I busted my rear this week working out. I started jogging too on the treadmill. I ran just over a mile at 6mph. It felt awesome, but I was sore for 2 days after.

+1.6 pounds for the week. I would like to blame this on the Girl Scouts and their damn cookies, but it was me throwing Thin Mints down my throat not them.
I found soft plastics on clearance at Walmart last night, so at least my wallet is lighter.

Yea. I got down to 251.6 (Wednesday's WW official with clothes on) which is my lowest in many years. This group "therapy" helps a lot, too.
On my personal scale, this morning, I was down to 243.4. Unfortunately, the ladies at WW would take some offense if I showed up... without clothes..... at the meeting. Ha ha Rich

I'm kinda in a holding pattern right now.Not losing, not gaining.
Down a pound this week from 177.2 to 176.2. Yesterday morning I stepped on the scale and it said 177.8 which I wasn't too happy with so I went out and took a 10 mile hike. My handy dandy Android app CardioTrainer said I burned a little over a 1000 calories. Even with staying hydrated I dropped over a pound. I'm a bit sore this morning but I really enjoyed the hike. Between Atlanta and Birmingham there's an old commuter train track that has been converted to a walking/biking path called the Silver Comet trail. I live just 2 miles away from one of the entry points. Very cool place to walk.

************************************************************
IHOP Colorado Omelette
1,890 calories
47 g saturated fat
4,200 mg sodium
130 g carbohydrates
Colorado is the leanest state in America, so it seems unlikely that its citizens are eating many of these omelets. Nevertheless, IHOP claims the Centennial State as the source of inspiration for this egregious egg envelope. The state’s Attorney General might consider pursuing libel charges against the restaurant—after all, their namesake dish packs more calories than six Egg McMuffins.
T.G.I. Friday's BBQ Chicken Wrap
1,720 calories
This wrap seems to have been engineered with the goal of packing in extra calories. It employs a one-two punch of the two fattiest sauces known to man: ranch dressing and mayonnaise. And if that’s not enough, it’s served with even more ranch on the side to satisfy all your dipping fancies. You’d be better off housing three Big Macs than tussling with this felonious fowl.
Worst Steak Dinner
IHOP Top Sirloin Steak
2,380 calories
42 g saturated fat
5,220 mg sodium
In the world of beef, sirloin is one of the good guys. Unless it’s not, which is the case at IHOP. But don’t blame the beef. Here, as is so often the case with commercially prepared steaks, the meat suffers by association. IHOP adds an inexplicable blanket of provolone cheese and a heaping scoop of fried potatoes and buttered toast to the party. The result of these add-ons is six Milky Ways’ worth of saturated fat and five full Pringles cans’ worth of sodium.
