K so I need to lose 10lbs

I've sooo let myself go over the past two months. I was 194ish in January, got down to 184 in February, and now am back to 194ish. I feel like crap, my pants hardly fit again. My main prob is I got laid off and have been spending a lot of time at the parent's place helping them do renos. They eat a lot and it causes me to too. Anyway starting tomorrow the diet is on, and I'm going to go back to my place next week so that should help tremendously.

Who else here wants to lose some weight, surely I can't be the only one. I'm going to be doing the Paleo diet again, protein heavy as before.

I'd like to lose a few pounds, too. Ever since I had surgery, I've been able to eat a variety of foods and retain nutrients, so I've been happily enjoying every calorie! about a month ago, I started cutting out sugar and white carbs and have already lost 10 pounds. I would like to lose 10 more, so I am with you in this! Maybe I should start smoking, so I don't eat so much.... hehehe... just kidding! By the way, are you still a non-smoker?

I'm sorry you lost your job. Are you job hunting where you used to live, where your friends are? I remember you saying that you moved away because of that job and that you missed them. Just a thought.

i got to start losing! i got about 40lbs to go! its awful! and i havent even tried. I was goign to the gym 4 days a week then doing DDR here the other 3. And i wasnt losing any weight, i was doign it so i could eat whatever and NOT gain weight,, then i quit doing that and kept eating whatever!
My real problem is stupid soda! i drink mostly water but im bad to drink some soda too and thats what really is getting me.

i want to loose 20 pounds and wish i had a buddy to help get my going and had the money to join the Gym. i have 5 kids and dont want to waste money on a gym when they have needs that are way more important. but i do wish i could get my butt in shape and had someone to go do it with me some how! some where................... !!!

we should start a diet group on here. i dont know what to eat if you take out all white flour and sugar. what are you eating. i am not a huge meat eater either. any advice

I'm still smoke free, and vette guy, come to canada and expect to pay closer to $12/pack, where it's been for quite some time :-O I love your American cigs tho I have to admit, yum!

Well I'm off to an "ok" start on the diet front. My calories are down the last two days, down to the point where I'm burning what I need to live, although I don't have a calorie deficit yet, so I won't lose any weight. But it's a start!

I got a new job, all official now. I'll be working out of Timmins Ontario as of May 4th. Look that up on a map if you don't know where it is, it's "up there." So the spirits are up, which I would expect will help both in the eating and drinking dept lol. I was there two weeks ago checking the town out, and I absolutely love it. Everyone is so friendly, it's actually surreal. Definitely IMHO somewhere "settle down."

Well I'm headed out for a walk...in the snow lol

I just Googled Timmins, and what a beautiful city! It's also Shania Twain's hometown. I wonder if she's single...

Matt,

I know you've heard it before but it's a lifestyle change.  Maybe moving to a new location will get you out of the rut you think you are in and you can start off with new habits....  have you done any research on what the new location has to offer you in the way of walking trails, biking trails, etc.?

I'm horrible at "exercising" but I am really active since we just finished buildng a home.

Hi,
I'm a new Ostamate as well and just off the prednisone (which you all know makes you eat everything in sight) I need to lose weight as well, but having a hard time finding foods as it appears salads and vegetable soups are a "out of the question" on a low residue diet.
any recipies or suggestions would be great!
thanks!
