Day two has been...well... Well day two is here already..day one was Induction ****, really thought I was on a loser yesterday, nothing was making sense and was wondering whether I had the inclination to continue, well obviously I did, thanks to help, advice and support from those on this board.

Day two has been...well heaven, planned a lot better, had a lovely breakfast consisting of eggs scrambled with cream cheese and generous portion of smoked salmon and field mushrooms, think I may have over done the protein some what, as I didn't start to feel like eating again until very late morning, normally after my bowl of bran flakes and juice I am chomping at the bit by 10.30, so to get to nearly midday felt very unusual.

Tried an Atkins indulgence bar as a snack as I was out and about this afternoon, which was well ..ermmm...different...a snack that I had planned to have between breakfast and lunch at about 10.30am but did not feel I needed it until lunch time around 1pm...which to be honest has thrown the day out a bit, cause lunch was put back until 4.30pm, mid afternoon snack now cancelled and looking at the clock and it is now gone 8pm and still not hungry not sure that I am going to manage another meal today.

All in all a good day after a bad hungry day yesterday, feeling full and satisfied, yes I have had headaches today but nothing that a couple of painkillers didn't sort out....

Resisting the temptation to weigh my self, I am going to try and hold out until next Friday, hopefully I will be plesently suprised, keeping my fingers crossed..... ]]> swisstony4 http://www.lowcarbbulletinboard.com/diet/blog.php?b=4 http://www.lowcarbbulletinboard.com/diet/blog.php?b=3 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 14:41:39 GMT Alright, I have been on a stall for four weeks and I was starting to get annoyed.

Quitting was not an option, as I am not a slave to the scale, but it was difficult to stay positive each week when that darn thing kept flashing 257.5....grrrrrrrrr.

Well, this week alone I have lost 4 pounds! I must have moved up the rungs to quickly and that made it difficult to diagnose the problem food(s). Pushing back to rung 2 must have been the crucial move and it is nice to see the scale moving again. The foods that I dumped were alcohol, nuts, and 4C splenda sweetened fruit punch flavored water packets. The citric acid in the 4C products could have been a major factor. In all honesty, I bet it was the combination of the three and I think I will add nuts back in pretty soon to see if they cause any problems. Macadmia nuts were a great "emergency" food for me to keep in the car and I hope I can add them back.

The funny part about this whole process is actually the mind games. I still do not recognize myself in the mirror, now that I have lost 40 pounds, and I still think my body looks the same as when I was 292 pounds. The belly and the face, in my mind, don't seem any different. I know that is my mind trying to understand the weight loss, but I have not been under 250 pounds for 13 years and my mind just doesn't believe it......well neither does my wife, but that is a good thing!

Alright blog, talk to you when I hit 249! For me, that seems to be my first MAJOR mini goal and I have looked forward to that marker since I started losing weight. At first, I was scared that reaching that milestone would be a point of content, but I think it is going to help me make the mad dash for the finish as opposed to making me feel completely satisfied with my weight loss. My final goal is still a point of contention in my journey. I will strive for 220 pounds, but when I reach that point I want to look towards 210 pounds for additional motivation. My concern is that when I reach 220 pounds I will start to think I can "cheat" just a little bit more and we all know where that will lead.

Onwards and Upwards! ]]> Frankthetank http://www.lowcarbbulletinboard.com/diet/blog.php?b=3 http://www.lowcarbbulletinboard.com/diet/blog.php?b=2 Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:36:01 GMT Well here I am starting a new chapter. Looking forward to finishing my last push to reach 220 pounds. I am currently 257 pounds, but I have stalled just a little bit.....

"oh yeah, just a little bit....R-E-S-P-E-C-T.....thats a what it means to mean."

don't know any more of the words to that song! ]]> Frankthetank http://www.lowcarbbulletinboard.com/diet/blog.php?b=2 http://www.lowcarbbulletinboard.com/diet/blog.php?b=1 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:35:23 GMT I had a grip load of entires and they went away.
