The Abs Diet?


2010
07.07

Diets are all a bit of a wash to me. Plain and simple it’s not the diet that fixes the issue, the behavior fixes the issue. All the diets out there resolve the issues that got us into out mess. It’s about food and exercise. I don’t care how you break it down that is the core of every diet.

I have been reading about every other diet out there and found THE ABS DIET, and was intrigue because of the step promises and the hype around it. I am considering doing it for two weeks and see if it holds up to it’s name and claims.

BIG DAY! Good news all the way around!


2010
05.21

Today is indeed a BIG DAY. Two great bits of information. We will start with mine, which is pretty good but not super news and then onto Kelly’s SUPER BIG FUN TIME news.

David : I am officially according to the US Government, not obese anymore. I am just Over-Weight. Today with my new weight of 214 pounds I am now 29.8% fat which is only over-weight. Been looking forward to this day for a while now. Next big mile stone is 15 pounds away which leads me to our next big bit of news.

Kelly: Today when Kelly got on the scale the first digit did not have to work as hard to display a number “2″ instead Kelly being very green used less power and only made it display a “1″. Kelly is now as she puts it “A Buck & Change”. Way to go! Sets us up for a very good weekend and more weight loss.

As a side note, we walked a mile last night and it did not seem to impact the weight loss at all. I was a little more hungry than I think I should have been at bed time but not in any pain other than my lower back which is killing me but that is another story.

I finally was able to get Kelly to join SparkPeople ( a site I now hate) and have found FatSecret.com and I love it. I love it for a few reasons. First let me tell you what I hate SparkPeople’s site.

Phase 2 – Round 2 – Day 4 – Progress Report


2010
05.19

Day 2 of my VLCD and I am down 6.8 pounds from my LOAD WEIGHT, not my start weight. I wanted to get a good idea as to how much I am dropping from my LOAD WEIGHT. The week before my LOAD was not a good week food wise. I did this last time we started and let myself kind of roam before the load. I have now learned something and will work on it next time.

I am a fat burning machine this time around and pretty happy so far. I am off to a better start than last time and I am going to be aggressive about my weight this time. There are stalls in the diet and I only had one last time, but this time when I get one of those .2 pound loss day I am kicking an ALL APPLE day and getting things moving again. I want to drop another 30+ pounds this round and will stop at nothing to get that done. I also need to be off P2 in time for some events here in town so I don’t have any time to goof off or not loss weight.

Hope you all are having a good day and please feel free to post. Kelly is doing well and hanging with me on the weight. She is down 6.6. Not bad at all. I will post more when we hit mile stones…10, 15, 20, 25, and 30.
I am looking for guest posters too who are doing hCG and are willing to share.

Today is the start of my second round of hCG for me and Kelly. We have two load days, then back to VLCD and losing about a pound a day for the next 30 days. I have said before I want to drop another solid 30+ pounds this round and I am going to do it. I have can get more I will take it. I know what I am in for this time so it should be pretty easy.

Back on Phase 2 this weekend


2010
05.13

We are back for our second round of hCG and VLCD this weekend. It’s a load weekend and I am going to do it up like a professional loader!

This next round I am looking for a solid 30+ pounds again. Kelly is looking for the same as well. If I reach my goal I will be under 185 and that has not been the case since high school. (1988 or 1990). That would be amazing.

After this next round I have been promised I can go shopping for new clothes too. That is a good reason to be excited too. I would encourage all of you out there to post comments so we can help each other out.

Phase 4 feet first


2010
04.17

Today starts Phase 4, and if you had told me 50 something days ago that it would have been this simple to lose 30 pounds I would have told you to “SHUT UP”.

This diet does work. It’s amazing!

I thought last night I would try something a bit of the “rich & indulgent” side of the diet. I took some Chicken Breast and covered them in permesian cheese then pan fried them. For veg I chopped up an onion & zuccini and stir fried them with some natural soy sauce (NO MSG). To be honest I was in heavan. So good in fact I would not have shared it with anyone and have kept what I ate to myself. To end the meal I had some organic yougurt with some stivia to make is sweet with blackberries in it.

I figured when I get up in the morning I am going to be up a pound at least and what do you know. . . 215.4! On the money!

So today on phase 4 I want to try to add some starch and sugar. So we started with some oatmeal (twas awesome) and poached eggs (my new best friends) and things are good.
Thank you needs to go out to Brenda for turning us onto the diet and for Kelly for being my partner and coach on the diet. I could not have done it without you. I would also like to thank all the poor helpless people at work who have had to listen to my mindless banter about the diet. You all might not be reading this but talking about the diet helped me keep it up.

FG – Keep it up man. You will be fine and the end is near and it’s working.

Phase3 Almost over


2010
04.16

So 17 April 2010 is the first day of Phase 4 and I for one am a little hesitant right now. My weight is good. My  metabolism is good but it now means I get to add in sugars and starches and that scares me a bit. Not much but a little. I am going to stay with oatmeal and maybe some wheat bread.

I can tell you that food does not taste the same. I have a whole new love for fresh food like never before and while it’s super it does have it’s downside. Places to eat are every 30 ft in the US and most of them are fast, but bad for you. I think it’s time to start a “FAST HEALTHY FOOD PLACE” and take the nation by storm. Who is with me?

Phase 3 update


2010
04.08

So we are three weeks into Phase 3 and things are starting to fall into place. I have a few friends at work who are now on hCG and are seeing good results.

One close friend needs to stop cheating and get on with it. You know who you are and you are stronger than that. I want you to be healthy and thin. Keep up the good work. 30 pounds is easy and stick with it. Trust me it feels great.

So my weight I think has leveled out and I have had a busy week. Still things are looking good. I have had a few spikes but nothing that I can’t explain. I know what spikes my weight and I am better for it. Sadly what spikes my weight is one of my favorite things, Soy Sauce….

Oh well. I know now it’s mostly water weight and that I need to drink loads of water on those days I want to have soy. Either way it’s good information.

As you can see the weight has been up there, but other than the one spike it’s been pretty steady around 216 to 218, and the past two days have been 216.4 on the dot. That is perfect and what I have been looking for.
