I too went "yikes" this weekend when I stepped on the scale...I need to get my fat arse off the damn couch and outside.

I'm in....but I'm not a "diet-er" my plan is to eat the same stuff...just less of it.

I topped in at 265 (the heaviest I've ever been) over the weekend.

GREAT!!!
You guys are added to the list.
How much weight can scuba board lose in one week? I can't wait. Or is that weight?
LOL
OK. I'll be back in a few hours.. to add more I hope.

Yes! Share with us.

Pretty straight up. I've revamped my eating style to not have one or two meals a day in it, but instead like 5 or 6 smaller meals. I also take a vitamin that has a mix of vitamins itself and herbs and since I am male, I get the one geared towards men. I've also added an HGH Precursor called Secretagogue - that has done wonders in a lot of ways as I have the energy and mental sharpness that I had when I was 21! Water ingestion is a must as it helps flush out your body, sodas were totally cut with the exception being when the soda is cut with something like rum

Now, thats just the nutritional portion. From the other side of the spectrum comes my time at the gym and diving. On a good week I've hit the gym 5 times, on a bad week 2 times. I do a 30 minute cario warm up then have a weight circut that helps me work on my bad shoulder as well as strength and toning all over.

In regards to diving, I notice that I feel little or no fatigue after a dive. Infact, because my body is geared into physical challenge mode again, I feel refreshed after a dive and ready to another one as soon as I can.

My typical eating habit follows this pattern:

-between 7&8am one of the following is eaten: banana/apple, cereal, yogurt
-between 10 & 10.30am: one of the 3 options not chosen initially
-between12 & 12.30pm: Tuna fish with some low fat ranch dressing, onions, sliced grapes, and walnuts. Eaten with saltines, not bread.
-2-3pm: whatever is left out of the banana/apple, cereal, yogurt options
-6-7pm: light dinner

I have made habit of consuming at least one half gallon of water daily with little or no consumption of caffine. I also indulge some at night and will have pop corn or ice cream for desert... but I always end up sharing some with my son who just loves both of those options.

Something else I noticed is that while I feel hungry, I dont get dizzy hungry like I used to from low blood sugar.

If anyone is interested in the vitamin I take or where to get the secretagoge I can post it here or PM it.

And I thought of giving ourselves 20..single dollar bills to start with..and either adding or taking away a dollar for every pound..and in the end buy a scuba present for ourselves.

Then after thinking of all that.. I thought maybe we could just let all be free..and not need anything other then, each other, for an incentive.

My reward was my scuba gear. Got it after I lost 10% of my origional weight. Just waiting to get it in at the LDS. SHould be this week.

My true reward, I feel a lot better-- healthier. Other rewards are complimants received from people that I never though noticed.

My wife is very supportive with this. She almost has to since I do most of the cooking

What timing, I just got back from a long-weekend, mini vacation where we did nothing but eat our way through San Francisco. This morning, I was thinking that I needed to atone for my vacation binge and go back to watching what I eat and increasing my exercise. I could definitely stand to lose a good 25 lbs, so please count me in!

 

[scubajen]

Can I still join!
I have about 10 lbs. that I would like to get rid of!
I am currently at 160. I am trying to make healthier choices
when I eat, limit myself on fast food, and am trying to excercise
3-4 times a week, which includes walking on my treadmill, lifting
weights to get rid of arm flab, and sit-ups. It is hard to get this 10lbs.
off, so maybe with supporting each other it will make it easier.

Plus I am heading down to Florida at the end of the month for some diving! Would be nice to feel more confident in my wetsuit.

I was a very bad girl this weekend. I don't want to see all of my previous efforts lost...

 

[lamont]

this is perfect, i've been needing to get motivated to start losing weight again and was psyching myself up to make a salad tonight...

 

[norcaldiver]

OK, I'm in. Actually, I've been woeking on it already, but I'm still only down to 212.
