First, please feel free to join my Facebook page HERE. Now, here's how things have looked for me over the last two months, or so: July 2011: Weighed in as high as 316.2 August 2011: Tried to recover, ended up hovering around 309 September 2011: Not much change. Lost a pound or two through zero effort October 1, 2011: Weighed 307.2. Rebooted my weight loss October 22, 2011: Weighed 296.6. My

Just a quick update for any who may read the blog. I've been eating clean(er), and getting more active, yet my weight has been pretty stagnant. I was briefly at 303.6, then I jumped to 309, then I got back to 303, and today I sit at 305.6. It makes very little sense to me, but I know there are a couple of reasons for it. The main one is that I'm still not putting in 100% effort on all of this.

Short and sweet today. At 304.6, this is the lowest weight I've been without the aid of a fad diet. This is just eating better, getting even slightly more active, and not stressing or obsessing. We're going to try to go camping this weekend, and my goal is to eat well (Zone bars, grilled chicken, nuts, wheat bread, etc) all weekend, then hike, toss a ball or frisbee - just generally be active

Well, I decided to stop my "fad" carnivore diet. Why? Well, I ate a normal meal a couple of days ago - with a normal amount of carbs - and you'll never guess what happened. Oh. You CAN guess what happened? Almost six pounds came storming back? Yeah? Yeah. One meal, 5.4 pounds back on. That took me from 302.2 to 307.6 overnight. Since then, I've gone back to the basics - smaller amounts of

Yeah...again. So, a very brief update. I was recently as high as 316 pounds. Seeing that number was a slap of reality across my face. Even so, it took some time to get moving. Last week, I started a modified caveman diet - eating only what I could kill or grow - including potatoes and rice - and allowing myself to have salad dressing, ketchup, etc. I quickly went from 314.4 to 302.2, and I was

I am now journaling my journey at my personal site: www.kevinantcliff.com Becky is also back, as are Rob, Rip, Kristen, Melissa, Carrie...and a bunch of others. And we're on Facebook. Just search for "New FAT Coalition." Hope to see you there.

Alright, so just finished vacation with some friends, and we did not even try to worry about our weights this week. Should have, but didn't. So, tomorrow's weigh-in will likely be NASTY - I'm thinking 306-ish. But Beck and I are pretty fired up, and we're hitting this HARD in the morning. We allowed ourselves to take a week off, now we just need to get back into the fitness mindset. So away

That pic pretty much describes my weight loss to a T. I was back down to my low-mark, 303.0 this morning. Here's what I've learned over the last 96 hours: - Screw lame diets. The low-carb thing worked for 48 hours, but my body doesn't like it. - Normal eating is key. Yesterday I did nothing special, just kept it clean and ate something every few hours. - Gotta be active. Again, nothing

Week One Summary Starting Weight: 310 Ending Weight: 305.2 Total Lost: 4.8It looks good on paper, but the frustration is that I was at 7 pounds lost four days ago, and I put in 2.2 pounds over those four days. It's frustrating as crap, as outlined in the post below this one...

I need to step away from all of this for a while. I have some intense personal stress right now, and that may be contributing to this, but I also can't stand to keep seeing this scale go up for no reason. I'm up another 1.2 pounds today. Not going to say I ate perfectly yesterday, but I didn't go much above my calories, and most of what I ate was salad. Nothing in my diet yesterday should have

I dropped back down by 0.2 pounds!!!! That's right!! ZERO-POINT-TWO pounds. Screw this.

Right. So, another day of clean eating, a 4+ mile bike ride, tons of water... ...up another .8 pounds. I've now gained 1.2 pounds the last two days. A little too ticked off to blog right now. 

Kevin A.noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36381358.post-56433051335025786542010-07-12T08:34:00.001-04:002010-07-12T10:52:48.737-04:00

OK, so it's only 6:30, so a lot could change in the next 90 minutes. But, as of right now, I am 1.2 pounds up from yesterday. I still had fewer than 30g of carbs, I went on a 1.9 mile ride, and a casual .75 mile ride with the family later. I forgot to do my 100 push ups, but I did get in 30. I also had fewer than 1,700 calories (which might be the problem, actually). All of that, and I ADD over

Started sliding the carbs back in yesterday. Went to a salad bar, and had a cup of pasta salad with egg noodles, so not the healthiest stuff. Still, kept it around 50g of carbs for the day, which I can deal with. Weight this morning was down another 1.4 pounds. Not sure if the slow in dropping is from the carbs, or from eating too little, as I only had about 1,500 calories yesterday. Still, I

Well, my goal with the whole no-carb thing was to get back to where I was a few days ago when I let myself go and piled on some quick poundage. Mission: Accomplished.I was 303.8 about five days ago, then I topped off as high as 311.6. On Thursday morning I was an even 310, and today, after two carbless days, I'm back to 304.4. Exactly what I planned. So today, I'm going to gradually re-introduce

So, day one of going carbless was a success. Was a little hungry last night, but fought through it, and didn't give in. I dropped 2.2 pounds yesterday. Yes, I know it's mostly water weight and excess carbs, but that's all I want to do, really. I ate HORRIBLY early this week, so I want my body to level off to where it should have been, had I not eaten like total crap those days. While I assume

Does this sound familiar? Do well, lose weight, get happy, celebrate with pizza and cookies...Yeah, that's been me, jumping between the weights of 312 and 303 for the last...I don't even know...maybe 18 months? It's a stupid cycle that I need to break. I need to FORCE myself out of it. So, I'm acting desperate. I am going 100% carb-free for the next 48 hours, starting this morning at 8am. So,

So the frisbee thing was going well. We'd toss it, drop to do a quick push-up, hop up, and chase down the frisbee. After 5 or 6 tosses each way, it started getting tiring. Unlickily for us, we were playing on a wet patch of grass.Long story short, as I chased down an errant frisbee toss, I went to plant my right leg, which slid out in front of me. My left leg bent back behind me, and my foot hit

Well, tomorrow I turn 34, and today I'm down 3.2 pounds in my most recent attempt to attain fitness. Nothing to write home about, I know. Still, seeing a 305 on the scale this morning was a nice feeling, as it's the lowest I've been in a while. Today it's going to be 92 and sunny in Denver. Beck and I are going to go throw a frisbee in the heat, but to add to the workout, we'll be dropping and

Well, the bad news is that it wasn't a great week. The diet still struggled, I didn't feel 100% health-wise, and we had a lot of personal and business stress to fight through. So, I could have done more, and done it better. That said, I enter week two down 1.8 pounds from my starting point of 308.2. Not thrilled with it, but a loss is a loss, so I'm going to hold onto it, and try to build on it.

I'm fat, again. But that's just not enough for some reason. I don't WANT to be 308, but I also don't want to be 250 bad enough to do anything about it. I know we've all been through this before. I have, and I was nearly always able to fight my way through it when I lost my first 96 pounds. But since then, I just haven't been able to fight my way out of this funk. So, to anybody who is currently

It's time we all got back on the wagon. I think we can all agree that we had our best success in numbers, and as I look at the other dormant blogs, and at myself in the mirror, I realize that it's time we went back to what worked. Yes, it was our own effort that burned the calories, and I can't speak for anybody else, but I know that the motivation, encouragement, and even the occasional

What a great first week I had!And what a way to ruin it. My mind isn't in this - not at all. I do great with my diet for a week, then I make a bad choice that sends me on a downward spiral. I didn't even bother weighing in this morning, but I have no doubt that I'm, at least, back up to my starting point from last Monday. I don't know what the issue is. I love to eat, especially when it's junk or

Just a quick update...Weighed in at a nasty 308.0 Monday morning, hoping to get to 304 by today. My official weigh-in this morning was 301.8. So, not a bad first week.

Not shockingly, my starting weight was pretty nasty. In the last couple of months, I had screwed around and got myself as heavy as I'd ever want to be again. WAY too close to that 366 I started at a few years ago. I was briefly as high as 315. On Monday, when I re-booted for real, I was a still-nasty 308.0, meaning that I needed to lose 58 pounds to get to my goal weight of 250. My plan was to

Screw this. I've been lazy. I've overeaten. I've quit. I've started again. I've quit again. I need to get back to where I was in September of 2007. I had lost 96 pounds, and I was on my way. Now I'm back up 30+, and I need it back off. I had another blog where I found some success, but at the end of the day, I just needed to get back to...Square One.

Accidentally ate way too little yesterday. I think I topped off at around 800 calories. By the time things slowed down and I could eat dinner, it was almost midnight, so I decided to wait for breakfast.Anyway, here's the numbers:Today's Weight: 288.2Yesterday's Weight: 289.6Change: -1.4Total Weight Lost: 19.0Pounds to Goal B: 1.2So, I have 19 days to lose 1.2 pounds.

Today's weigh-in is pending. I'm assuming I'll be right around 290. Just wanted to post this to show the benefit of tracking your weight loss and 5-day average. Even though your body may fluctuate, if you keep doing what needs to be done, it'll all even out.Have a great weekend!

I've been eating 98% perfect since early June, and that's why I'm now down 18 pounds.I'm a little more active,

I could be under 291. As my body likes to do, it took a big drop after a recent gain. My early-morning weight was 291.2 or 291.4. I couldn't get it to read the same thing twice. Either way, assuming my body continues to adjust at it's average of .8 down in the next two hours, it would put me somewhere in the mid 290 range. My body frustrates the tar out of me, sometimes. I'll hit a new low, then

My non-official weight at 7am: 294.8My weights from 7 to 8:30 haven't been changing much in recent mornings, which means I'm looking at an ugly weigh-in. I know why it's here, but it's still annoying: Carbs and Sodium. Had the turkey brats with a cup-ish of bbq baked beans. Now, I was under my 2,400 max by a good 400 calories, but with all the sodium and carbs in dinner, it can override any

Got more active the last 48 hours, ate 100% clean yesterday, drank more water, and was nicely rewarded with my second 295.6 - tying my lowest number on v2.0 of this weight loss thing. So, tomorrow is July 1. Thirty days from tomorrow I need to see a 287.0 on my scale. So, depending on what it reads tomorrow, I need to be down 8.6 pounds in 30 days. My goal is to see at least a 294.8 tomorrow.

Well, I splurged a little for Father's Day weekend. Had a piece of leftover birthday cake, had Chinese for Dad's Day, ate after 9pm one night - animal crackers are awesome - and I got up today to see a weight I can deal with: 297.2. Only .6 pounds up from my lowest of this round of loss. So, had some fun, enjoyed some food, and came out of it unscathed. Now I focus on the goal of hitting 287 by

Weigh in is still about an hour away, so I don't know how close or far I am from my goal of 297.2 this morning. My gut says I'll probably be around 300.0.While I've just kind of assumed I won't be anywhere near the goal weight, I am still hoping that I can somehow come in under 300. If I can do that, I'll consider it a small win...and then I'll go after Goal B: 287.0 by July 31.I'll be back at 8:

And by "Dark Side," I mean dieting while on vacation. Here's the Cliff's Notes version:First two days at the lake were rainy and cold, so we spent 90% of our time huddling in our tents to stay warm. Food was pretty normal: sandwiches, chicken breasts, zone bars. But our activity level was non-existent. I did get up those first two mornings and took the dog for a short walk, and then did a couple

People, check your nutritional info before you eat something. Long story short, we normally eat turkey sausages as hot dogs, and I have that caloric info memorized. But, I didn't realize we got a different type of sausage this time, and I took out three without blinking. They were double the calories and sodium, and it screwed me up big time. So, I took out 1,200 calories JUST for dinner.

So, it's a roughly 36-hour fast (I'm allowed 1 cup of milk, and 1 cup of juice), and I'm doing it for two reasons.1. To prove to myself that I'M in control, not my hunger/urges. I've been giving in to my body's wants (from a food standpoint) too much over the last few weeks. Time

Either later today or early tomorrow. Think about what you'd do if you had 100 days to do it. What goals would you want to hit? How determined could you be? How dedicated would you be?More later...

Whew. For a second there, I thought my weight might change, but thankfully, it's still right where it's been the last 2 days - 285.8.Now, here's what bugs me to no end about the weight loss process: I'm 99% perfect in all areas for three days, and I can't lose an ounce. But you and I both know that if I had a Wendy's Classic Double with fries, I'd jump up 2-3 pounds instantly. Whatever. Today I'm

Back at freaking 285.8 this morning, which BLOWS, and ANGERS ME. But what am I going to do? Did I have the perfect week? Not really, no. My eating was solid, but not great. My activity level was very good, but again, not great. I did well, but I could have done better. So, Beck and I are starting an actual football training regimen today. It will work on our quickness, agility, and stamina, not

Yesterday consisted of about 2,000 calories, an hour in the backyard throwing (and chasing down) the frisbee, and no food after dinner at 5:30pm.This morning has consisted of a weigh-in of 285.8, a FULL POUND UP FROM YESTERDAY.Now, here's where I keep telling myself that this can't last forever, and that I need to just keep doing what I know I'm supposed to do. But what I WANT to do is yell,

Purposely had a LOW calorie day yesterday - roughly 1,000.Had a good football-based workout.Drank more water.Had no snacks.Lost .2 pounds - 284.8.The 282.X by Friday isn't looking good at this point. All I can do is try.

Yesterday was one of those "good but not great" days. Didn't eat 100% clean, but didn't do anything crazy calorie-wise. Just could have done better. Also, thanks to Beck's crazy schedule, we couldn't get out to play football, but we're going to make time to get out there for an hour or so today to get a sweat worked up. My weigh-in today was 285.0 on the nose, which I'm pretty OK with after being

Alright, nobody bit, but the "all-you-can-eat" place in the last post was a salad bar.Long story short, I jumped up 3.2 pounds after our cheat meal, and spent the weekend being good (not great, but really good) just to take 1.4 pounds back off. I was 288.0 Friday morning, and I'm 286.6 today. Now, my goal with the cheat meal, and it was a risk, was to eat something I wanted, pay the price, and

One of those days. Kids going nuts. Work busy for me. Work busier for Beck. No time to cook. Next thing you know, we're sitting in an all-you-can-eat restaurant, and I'm filling up two plates and a bowl with food, then coming home to eat a bowl of cereal. We did try to get out tonight and toss the football, but by the time we started it was already getting dark.So now we're going to try to unwind

As you may notice to the right, my goal of hitting 286.0 by tomorrow morning has been smashed by me, The Incredible Bulk. Not only did I meet it, I destroyed it. Today's weigh-in? 284.6I really don't know how I dropped so much so quickly, and I don't care, to be honest. All I know is that my calories have been perfect since last Wednesday when I started this back up. And we've worked up a sweat

Well, I thought I screwed up last night. Around 10:15 PM, I just got HUNGRY. Like, actually HUNGRY. I was trying to resist, but I caved. I had 1/2 a PB sandwich on whole wheat, and followed that up with a cup of dry Captain Crunch cereal. And then I had ANOTHER cup of dry Captain Crunch cereal.I got weak, and I gave in. My calories were still in range, but it was more THAT I ate, and not WHAT I

I'm waiting for a more "official" weigh in that will take place roughly 45 minutes from now, and I'm hoping the numbers are a little better than my unofficial weight from a few minutes ago. If the weight holds, it will appear that my body has moved into a bit of a holding pattern, at 287.4. My last three weights were 287.2, 287.8, and today's 287.4.If the number doesn't change, it's going to

Here's hoping all is well. Another good day for Beck and I. I'm getting close to calling it a streak, but I've had five good days before, so I'll hold off until Thursday. That'll but me at seven perfect days.That's it. Hope everybody had a good day.

287.8 this morning, so I'm up .6 pounds. I'm not too bothered by that, as I did go a little carb-happy last night with homemade potato salad (red potatoes, low-fat/low-cal dressing). We've also decided that we like tossing frisbees. We found a little crappy one in our back yard last week, and it's kind of addictive. So, we're going to go try to find a cheap - but better - one at Target or

287.2 this morning, so I'm down another 2.6 pounds even after my first "slip up" (one scoop of ice cream with my daughter). Active day ahead, so I'm counting on that number dropping even more tomorrow.I'm down 7.2 pounds since Thursday morning., and only 11 pounds from my Nov. 5 goal.

But I have already decided that I'm not allowing myself to deviate even an inch on my food intake until Thursday of this week. I just have to fight through these desires. So I will.Haven't had my official weigh-in this morning, but my unofficial weight was the same as yesterday. I didn't work out last night, as I became progressively more sore throughout the day. And dinner was heavy on the carbs

This?I've heard it's cheesy, and pretty much a poorly updated Karate Kid, but that it was a fun movie - lots of action, etc. As I look for motivation anywhere I can find it, I can't help but think that an MMA-based movie might not hurt. Not looking for movie of the year, just looking for a cool 2 hours. Anybody have any input?

More later, but wanted to check in.Couple of PERFECT days in the books. Eating has been pristine, I'm staying active, and I just plain feel better. I'm trying to figure out where the jump in weight came from last week, as I went from 288 to 294.4 in two days on average eating. But, I'm back to 291.0 today, so I'm down 3.4 pounds in two days. Back to my Band workout tonight, and then we're hoping

Going into dinner, I sit at roughly 890 calories. I'm aiming for no more than 2,000 for a the next week or two. But we have nothing in the house, so we had to go to the store to pick up something quick and easy. Sometimes, when you have kids to feed, you've been at work all day, and you don't have the time to go grocery shopping, you have no choice but to run into the store and grab something

Alright, just got done with THIS, and let me tell you, it's the real deal. It might be one of the most complete workouts I've done in a long time. For those of you who may be struggling to find time, I HIGHLY recommend investing the $20 in some resistance bands (I have two pair, as some of these are just too easy with only one), and 25 minutes of your time 4 days per week. My legs are sore, and

Just got in from running some routes with Beck and tossing the football - about 40 minute's worth. Got a sweat worked up, and got the heart going, so it's a win. Will start my Anywhere Workout tonight. MH had a nice piece about the benefits of resistance band training, and it makes me feel better about using them for a few months.Food-wise, had a small bowl of Cheerio's for breakfast, a turkey

So, I just got done reading Billy's latest blog, and the comments that accompanied it. You know what I felt? Total jealousy. Not pride on Billy's behalf. Not inspiration. Nothing but jealousy. Where Billy has succeeded, I've failed. Where he kept going, I stopped. Where he moved forward, I regressed. I look back at my old blogs, and I see that I could have EASILY been at my end goal of 240 by now

Been sick with flu/strep all week, and my eating is notoriously awful when I'm sick. That said, I was able to hold steady this week - weighing exactly today what I weighed on 7-25. Not exactly parade-worthy, but I was afraid the weight was back up this morning, so I'll take it. I'm still not feeling great, but I'm hoping to get out this weekend and take some walks, play catch - something. I'm

1. Down another 2.2 from yesterday, planting me firmly back in the 280's. A LONG way to go, but it feels good to be back.2. Two buckets of candy remain 12 feet from me. I had none yesterday, and I'll have none today.3. We wanted pizza last night. We didn't have any.4. There's still a cookie in the house. It's been there for 48 hours. 5.

We'll just say that without self-control and moderation, there's no point in free will. My kids will be raised with the ability to make their own choices. It's my job to educate them so they make the right ones. Having
