He have common goals, dude. I also am heading for your 'future pic'. We'll see what I can do... At least one of us is moving forward by the way. What am I doing wrong?

Nice to see you posting again - now to just see your wife posting again too :)

We all know what needs to be done, now to just do it!!

how was the weigh in and what have you been doing since?

2010-07-15T16:19:53.824-04:00

Well you have to look at the fact that you dropped 8-10 pounds in a few weeks. That initial weight loss is going to be a high % of water weight. Over the last few posts you have talked about your diet not being perfect, how you have missed a workout here and there, and that your majorly stressed. All these things can lead to putting back on water weight / water retention. Of course I am no

2010-07-15T10:55:20.993-04:00

I disagree. I'm not expecting miracles, I'm just expecting not to see weight gain for 4-straight days with clean eating and exercise.

There's nothing on paper that explains putting on the 2.2 pounds I have over the last four days. If I had cheated, ate too much, or stopped caring, I'd put it on me.

But I've been eating clean, working out, and still

2010-07-15T10:29:13.625-04:00

Truth be told your expecting too much too fast... You know how the game is played and won. When you want it bad enough you will make it happen. Get your head strait and the scale will follow. Nothing in life comes easy my man, you know this.

2010-07-14T15:43:08.666-04:00

Don't get discouraged! Giving up isn't going to do you any good. Maybe it's time to really evaluate your life: diet, sleep, stress, exercise, basically everything related to health and fitness, and figure out where the biggest issues are, and tackle them one at a time. Get on a healthy, sustainable diet, and don't worry so much about your weight on a day-to-day basis. In fact,

Keep your eye on the trend... remember the Billy 5 day average? ;). There are going to be fluctuations. You two are looking good, like the new pic on the right of the page ;). Keep up the good work man!!!!

Hey!
If you are serious about going low carb, check out the following resources:

www.robbwolf.com - listen to his podcasts

www.paleonu.com - great for the science behind it all

www.freetheanimal.com - sarcastic SOB, but he has lived the whole body transformation thing

www.marksdailyapple.com - ignore the products and look for his primal primers

2010-07-08T15:52:34.637-04:00

Well, technically fruits and vegetables are carbs too, but the lean meat/veggies/fruits diet has been working great for me, along with nuts and oils to round out my calorie requirements. Not sure if you're familiar with the Paleo diet or the Primal Blueprint, but google those terms for some great info about eating right (and some good recipes, too). It's nice to see you back on here :)

2010-07-08T15:29:34.647-04:00

going to have to do it longer than that to really reap the benefits man. You will see a water weight drop but after you resume eating carbs etc you will most likely reabsorb it. Been there done that. I am still floundering too... probably 12 months for me. Tried to blame it on moving last summer, well that excuse is dead and gone.... now what??? Whatever you do stick to your guns and do it

2010-06-21T09:30:50.054-04:00

sorry to hear about the injury, hopefully its not too serious. Happy b-day and enjoy your day but keep your eye on the prize. Looks like your making a good start.

2010-06-17T14:49:33.986-04:00

Happy birthday! Have your cake, but don't let it take you off the path you're on. And make sure to stretch and ice that hamstring and knee, active recovery is where it's at. Keep up the good work man.

2010-06-16T12:49:20.741-04:00

I'm on board. Nothing but clean eating so far this week, and no missed workouts. Every time I fall off the rails I'm amazed at how good I feel when I get back on, both physically and mentally. Makes you wonder why we sabotage ourselves in the first place.

2010-06-11T12:50:34.428-04:00

Motion. Love. Enjoyment.

That's pretty much my formula.

Get in motion, stay in motion, even if you don't want to- don't argue about it, don't think about it, just get a plan (don't bother doing it yourself, do someone else's) and do it.

Love your body. Love your family. Love your food. The more you can love this stuff, the more you're

2010-06-10T13:36:42.371-04:00

Dude.... sad truth is you really have to want it. You just have to put it in motion. I struggle with the same thing you do. Its all up in your head and there is nothing anyone can do or say to make that change. Success is found in you brother. To help with success I would say to very simple things. Plan your meals (stick to it) and exercise more. It really is that simple.

Ok,

Good idea. I'll write up a new blog today to start moving again. Thanks for the kick in the pants.

I'm in pretty much the same place. I want it, but I keep sabotaging myself for some reason. I must not want it bad enough.

2010-05-11T11:49:08.572-04:00

I think the majority of us struggle with similar things... I seem to be on a 2 year cycle where my weight goes up and down as does my motivation to loose weight/eat right. We both know that there is only one choice though, to continue the battle. Keep on pushing, you will find your groove.

Good luck, I know how tough it can be when you have a long road ahead but just stick with it!

Good to see your back to blogging. Not much activity going on with the old group anymore. I am also battling my own fat resurgence. I will keep reading and commenting if you keep posting. How's Beck doing? take care.
