I weighed about 275-280 when I started back in late october. I got mono and that helped kick start the weight loss. Since I had mono I wasn't able to lift so I just stuck with cardio. I haven't touched a weight since then, yet I'm toning up very nicely. nothing but using the elipitical machine with the hand attachments.
as for eating:
I try to drink a good amount of water every day, and if I do have any soda I have diet coke caff. free
morning Mon-Fri
Quaker Oat squares with skim milk
small glass of juice with a multi vitamin
brunch Sat-Sun.
2 eggs, 2 slices of toast, juice
it varries, but that is usually what I have during the weekend.
lunch Mon-Fri
brown bag lunch special
a small bag fresh carrot sticks
a small bag of mixed fruits such as grapes, strawberries, and pineapple
a sandwich of some sort, no cheese
dinner
I try to watch my portion size and make sure its not a super helping of food like I used to do. I also try to eat a lot of fresh foods, and veggies. I like fresh cooked broccoli, and most green veggies, raw carrots, baked potato, corn on the cob. I always make sure the main course has some protein so if I'm having spagetti I thow some meat in the sauce.
desert
if I do get the munchies I try to make sure I don't eat anything after 8pm, and if I like to eat fresh fruits. fresh pineapple is my favorite thing to munch on. its healthy, and gives me my sweet fix I sometimes crave.
