Fatblogging . . . 209

Not that I am fat in any way but according to my cardiologist I need to get 10lbs below my key weight of 185 which takes me down to 175. I am 6 feet 2 inches tall so I would really be psyched if I got to 175..Last weekÂ I started my crusade by eliminating all bread (carbs) out of my diet. Last week I was at 215 and stepped on the scale today and was down to 209. I am now getting back in my grove and thought it would be fun posting my experiences, food I made and exercizes I do daily. Also I thought it would be a challenge since I posted my weight for all you to see So the fun begins..

February 19, 2007 —–> 215
Febraury 26, 2007 —–> 209

Also a big kudos goes out to Jason Calacanis
for starting the fatblogging movement!

Before Blogging —> 185
After Blogging —> 216

I think there is a relationship…..

Lol… Bill I think you are right! I know I can do it so I am up to the challenge. Especially since I just told all of you.

6′ 2″ and he wants you at 175? That seems thin. I’m 6′ even and weigh around 165 and my wife calls me stick man.

Probably not too hard to get to 185 but I bet those last 10 lbs to 175 will be the toughest.

And giving up bread… I’d rather be fat!

Good luck!

Lol Dave I hear ya about the bread.. I am italian so it is not easy i’ll tell you that. Last year I had a scare where the doctor told me I needed to change my habits and have done a total 180. The last item on my list was my weight.. Thanks for your support!

Remember it’s all about calories in and out, so it’s just a question of reducing input or increasing output (output being exercise) - so it doesn’t really matter what you eat.

You need to eat to exercise, and not exercise to eat.

Goodluck to you, fellow fatblogger! Eliminating all the (bread) carbs seems hard. I don’t think I could do that. I can’t live without bread. I am a bread addict! I even have a bread baking machine

So what do you eat for breakfast and lunch now? Because cereals are carbs too. Salad for breakfast?

Anne my food chart breaks out as

Breakfast - 2 Soft Boiled Eggs w/1 piece of Atkins bread toasted & glass water

Lunch - Saladworks (Sliced Turkey, Egg, Bacon) w/ balsamic vinegar.

Snack - Crushed soy nuts

Dinner - Steak w/shrimp & string beans
Desert - Mixed Strawberries, Rasberrys, Blueberrys with very little granola mix (only carbs I eat)

Late Night Snack - Banana & Peanut Butter.

That sounds rather good actually. Maybe I should continue eating bread in the morning but change my lunch to a salad. I love salads. The only downside is that ready-prepared salads are expensive to buy (salads don’t work well in a lunchbox hahaha).

And blueberries. Call me an addict!
