TNCR Pandemic Weight Loss Challenge
-
I brought my new running shoes to Minnesota, while we house hunt. Also, there is a constant supply of beer, wine, and snacks here so I'm pretty sure I will be going in the opposite direction of this weight loss challenge.
But hey, I brought my new running shoes. Might even put them on later this week!

That seems excessive.
Ok, maybe just one shoe.

Presumably because they're not blue?

Are you at your in-laws place? They must love you to give you all the snacks and beer.

No loss for me this week either. Good news is I’m doing a good job about staying away from added sugar, and carbs. Bad news is I’m eating too much fat (cheese and nut butters were the issue this week!). And I did not get enough exercise. I was on my way to losing a pound, (scale was going down) and then I blew it this weekend and the scale went back up...

My wife kindly purchased one of those fancy digital scales that tells you everything. Thinks got ugly when I hooked up my phone and saw the statistics. Apparently, I actually weigh 180 pounds and I'm fat according to the stupid phone. Well, now I'm fat and depressed, and I've flushed the phone down the toilet.
Completely coincidentally, I went on the first bike ride of the year yesterday. I only managed 11 miles, and I was knackered, which was humiliating. I need to get up to 35 mile rides by the end of April.

Don't you hate when that happens??? Don't you wish the Diet Gods would cut us some slack once in awhile? You're good all week (well, sorta good) and the scale is frozen. You eat a third of a doughnut and whammo! you gain five pounds.
It's not fair.

I am fasting 16 hours per day. It seems to control my appetite, and I feel more full after smaller meals. Seems to be working so far and it's not difficult to stick to.
Same here. It's been over week now.
I have, surprisingly not cheated. lol

But, I am not weighting myself until 30 days has passed.
My starting weight was 245.
I had steak and eggs 4 times in one week. Well, it was left over rotisserie roast that we cooked one night.
I have been having eggs for almost every "breakfast" which is at 12:00. Usually a small "lunch" at 15:00-15:30 then dinner at 19:30.
Nothing after 20:00.Limiting the carbs although a donut was consumed today. lol Cream filled chocholate donut. My daughter is to blame for that one.

I'm weighing myself religiously every morning.
When I say 'religiously', I mean that I shout 'Oh, God almighty!' every time.

I'm down 13, and have done it all through "dieting." I figured out calorie intake can be greatly diminished if I eat the right things at the right time. For example, I can't skip breakfast. I just can't, it screws me up for the rest of the day. It's also much more beneficial if I take in some protein in the morning. So, that's what I do, a couple of eggs or something. Then, I'm good until dinner. I eat while the sun's still up, but by then I'm pretty hungry so I don't worry too much about how much I'm taking in; I just make sure I don't eat crap, and I don't eat again late at night. All of that seems to be working, and it's not hard to do because I'm not starving myself.
This is probably about as far as I can go without some serious exercise thrown in.
