Here's a good, easy lowcal lowfat recipe that's pretty good.


Bake a chicken breast, having seasoned it with a sprinkle of Seasoned Salt and Garlic salt.
1/2 cup Brown rice (pre cooked, cook with like 1 cup of water in the microwave at half power for something like 14 minutes).

When your rice is done, make on of those packets of fake brown gravy. It's surprisingly low calorie and quite tasty, and only requires you to boil a cup of water basically.

Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces, mix with the fakegravy and the rice.

It's actually really good, and is a solid dinner with a salad and should be around 700 calories.

Great job to everyone so far. Keep it up. I'm going to start participating here. My max weight was 217 lbs. My ultimate goal is 175 lbs. I'm currently 210 lbs. I'm shooting for 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. per week. I'll settle right now for 185 lbs.

Thanks.

Yeah, it feels good. Before I started this, I found myself getting tired by 6 or 7 and not sleeping very well...now whenever I start to feel tired, I get that workout in and I'm full of energy the rest of the night...sleeping a bit better too...

12lbs since the beginning of the month. Time to start working out now that I feel a little better. If I can keep up this rate of loss, I will be at my goal weight before summer

_________________

I've got a bit of odd news to report on the weight loss front. As I mentioned earlier, I hit a plateau in my diet a week or ten days ago and hadn't been able to lose anything in that time despite maintaining a pretty decent diet and exercising religiously. Over the past few days, I've been pretty busy with some work issues, so I haven't been able to exercise at all and have been eating really crappy. This morning, I was dreading stepping on the scale because I was certain it would show that I had gained a couple of pounds. Instead, I've lost 2.5 lbs since Sunday and am now just about 20 lbs down since beginning my weight loss program at the beginning of November.

There certainly is something to the science of the refeed.
Your metabolism may adjust to lower than normal caloric intake. Thus, once every couple weeks or so, it is actually beneficial to dramatically boost your intake.
So, if you average between 2000-2200 calories (as I'm trying to do) one day every 3 weeks I'll hit up 3500 calories. You know, just to stoke the flames.
I've found in the past that this really works, and your anecdotal evidence may support that claim.
This information is alleged and probably less that 100% reliable.

I'm maxing out at 1,600 calories per day. Maybe I'll have a Chipotle day so I can hit 2,500 for once.

Worked my ass off this week (literally) by playing hockey 5 straight days and of course sticking to my diet. Had plateaued last week at 211, but thought I would have a huge drop this week and I was right. Hit the scale at 205 today for a total loss of 20 pounds in about a month.

6 mile run through lovely Wheaton today where they actually shovel their walks.

Friday: 5.5 miles of interval training on treadmill.
Saturday: 5.5 mile run through Warren Park.
Sunday: 4.5 mile run through Warren Park.
Today: 4.5 miles of interval training on treadmill.

Feeling great!

So here comes my limited knowledge of running -Zach can probably add more. It might be beneficial to add one long run a week (basically long and slow so I am guessing for you, you could do 7-8 miles now relatively easy). Also, you need to give yourself some rest to recover muscles.

Did you happen to see me playing hockey? I play in an outdoor league there every saturday between 10--noon.

Just started running again today along with diet. My fall / winter malaise has taken its toll on me, tipping the scales at 205, about 25 over my summer fighting weight. I love to run just find it hard to motivate myself when the weather turns cold but its time to get back to it. Generally run 4 to 5 times a week 4 to 6 miles depending on how Im feeling. Have a vacation scheduled for the first week of April. Hoping to be at 180 (goal is 175) in the 9 weeks until then. Time to do the work!!

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Yes, I did see some hockey going on there. Maybe I'll stop in next weekend! I run right by the skating rink all the time.

_________________

Yeah, I'd like to do some longer runs, but the problem is making the time for them. I'm taking tomorrow off to recover, even though I don't feel like I need to do so.

_________________

Curious how you tweaked your interval runs compared to what I posted.
You sound like a stronger runner than me so was just wondering if you
added time, speed, incline or all to what was posted or if you made something
up on your own. I'd like to feel great as well.

GET TO WORK!

Weight is staying the same but it's re-distributing since my smaller clothes are fitting better. Got out yesterday and did 6.5 miles in an industrial park - hitting the gym tonight for some yoga. Need to stretch everything out.

Weighed last weekend and found my weight static... so i need to make some changes.
Gonna start changing the treadmill routine today.

I'm down to 210.4 As of Saturday....I had a some pizza and my favorite oven baked sandwich from Domino's yesterday, so I've probably gained a pound or 2....but now that the football season is over, I'll probably skip the Sunday pizza's until September.

Once I get down to 200-205 range (hopefully within the next 1-2 weeks), I will focus more on building muscle. It's becoming quite difficult to do cardio and lifting in the same session. I'm up to nearly 3.5 miles on the treadmill in 45 minutes, and I have to say that it is kicking my ass. A lady friend last night told me that she can tell that I have lost weight.

I'm down 15 lbs. in the four weeks I've been dieting and exercising. Halfway to my goal of losing 30!

don't combine too much cardio and lifting...especially at your stage. don't want to pull anything. keep running. and do the leg press before lifting. builds testosterone.

Yeah I notice a few people doing the leg press. I do cardio at least twice a week. Once I get down to my preferred weight, I am only going to do the treadmill once a week.

Got a question for some of your fitness experts out there. I played basketball for about an hour this morning before work. A buddy of mine at work and I have been going to a gym during the week on our lunch hour and doing some cardio and lifting. I told him I would go today. Since I played bball this morning, should I just focus on some lifting or should I still do some more cardio?
