Finally, I have success to post.
I have lost 40 lbs since Thanksgiving. I started at 294 and I am down to 254 on a 6' frame. My weightloss may seem rather rapid for 2 months or so, but I have the weight to lose. Natrally, I have been slowing from 10 lbs per week to 7.5 lbs per week once I crossed 260.
What I did:
Food log: (sounds delicious, how do I cook a food log) It is not detailed, but I write down everything that goes in and my weight
Weigh 2 x per day: I can tell if what I ate was too much. I know how much I metabolize during the night by stepping on the scale morning and bedtime.
Water: 8 or more 16.9 bottles of H2O. Many times, I think I am hungry, and I am really thirsty. (must learn to pee from bike)
Food: I eat anything I want. I just eat until I am full. I had to learn the feeling of fullness, not just finishing what was on my plate.
No finger food. Everything is on a plate eaten with untensils.
Exercise: 60-120 minutes per day cardio & weights. Spinning class 2 times per week. Using a HRM too.
In a nutshell, that is my plan.
