I don't exercise on Sunday.  Anyway, enjoyed some good meals, tons of calories, birthday cake, candy bars, and ... http://www.199lbs.com/2009/10/13/day-36/ Weigh in: 214.2 Not bad, down a pound yesterday.  I didn't touch any junk food, even when I took the kids out to eat at Wendy's.  Our kids won't eat their fries, and I sure hate to let fries to go waste, which is why I now fight to get back ... http://www.199lbs.com/2009/10/09/day-32/ Weigh in: 215.6 Not a bad result from a pretty tough day.  Work got so bad I couldn't leave for lunch, so I didn't get to eat much (2 apples and some carrots). Then when I got home, I had some church activities to attend to, so I just zapped a ... http://www.199lbs.com/2009/10/08/day-31/ Weigh in: 217.4 I actually weighed in at 218.6 on Saturday morning, but later that day started coming down with the flu.  I abandoned the diet and starting eating normally. It actually felt quite good.  Then only real probably was on Monday morning I weighed in at 224 pounds.  So I ... http://www.199lbs.com/2009/10/07/day-30/ Weigh in: 220.6 Tough day yesterday, I was bitterly hungry, but stuck to my guns.

I think I am on to something, I don't know how long you can maintain this lifestyle, but if you can do it, it pays off big time.  Down another 2 pounds yesterday, I was totally happy with 1/2 a pound a day, this is awesome.  There is ... http://www.199lbs.com/2009/09/30/day-23/ Weigh in: 224.4 I worked out with my trainer this morning, about killed me.  I think attempting to go with net 0 calories each day is not going to give me enough energy to work out hard. If you take in 1600 calories, but then exercise enough to burn 1600 calories, ... http://www.199lbs.com/2009/09/29/day-22/ Weigh in: 224.4 I am embarrassed to admit I fell off the wagon a bit.  Had some stressful days at work, and my weight shot back up to 234.  I have since calmed it back down, got back in control of the caloric intake and weighed in this morning at 227.4. ... http://www.199lbs.com/2009/09/28/day-21/
