"Portly Angler" Weigh In?

[The Dad Fisherman]

Lots of times when you 1st start out weight drops quick....especially in Guys (pisses my wife off). After about the 3rd week it will start to slow down. The reason you don't want to lose it to quickly is so that you don't deprive your body of needed nutrients and calories.

Yep my hubby ticks me off with that too. Unfortunately I know I probably dont stand a chance in this whole thing partly because of this. We ladies are so lucky having bodies designed to reserve everything they can for growing babies.

Heck with that!

did a little research- at my starting weight of 267 lbs i could consume roughly 3000 calories a day and maintain my portly figure. with very little effort i should be able to squeak in under that. so with that said after not quite a week of replacing my lunch time roast beef sandwhich with fruit, soda with water, and trying my best to eliminate calories from fat, i hit the scale last night at 263. so far i've been good, hitting the treadmill in the garage for a few miles every night (1 mile run, 1 mile walk) and i'm back to hitting the heavy bag and speed bags. in general my energy is up and that can't be bad.
my fitness guru (wife) tells me it won't always be this easy but that's ok my goal is to be under 240 by the deadline. so that's 27 lbs in what, 3 months. 1/3lb loss a day. i think that's a reasonable goal.
anyway, a hearty "good job" to the guys putting in the effort i have to go crank up the radio i think i hear a pizza calling me.
