HIHK,
Lets try out this little experiment.

For health reasons and not to mention that my fiancee wants me skinny for our wedding, I am also trying to shed some lbs.

I weighed myself this morning at 202. The good news is I was 207 three weeks ago so my routine is working.

Anyway, I will continue my routine. I've been eating about ~1600 calories a day AND I've been hitting the gym/walking for some light cardio 4 times a week.

It'll be interesting to compare our weight loss. I imagine you'll shed the pounds more quickly. I'm not trying anything crazy... and I'm sure there will be days that I fall off the wagon.
 
not sure if this should go on your other thread, but egg whites should be part of your diet. Very high in protein, very low in calories. The yolk has all of the cholosterol and calories.

I try to incorporate as much broccoli, spinach, asparagus, low fat turkey, egg whites, chicken, apples, etc into my diet. Fiber (a good component for losing weight and feeling full) + protien + water + multi-vitamins are my keys.

And to one of the other posters who commented on eating, you do want to eat some sort of protein (or drink a shake) within 60 minutes of ending your workout. Also, make sure you keep the sodium levels low. The salt will make you feel bloated and retain your water.

I too am trying to lose some weight...my "weigh-in" date is Aug 18th. I weighed 242 in April and weighed 225 this morning (that includes an indulgent trip to Argentina, Memorial Weekend, 4th of July, etc) where I was on the "see food" diet.) My goal for the next 4 weeks is another 7lbs. For me, this is about long term change, keeping the weight off, eating better, but still being able to booze it up and enjoy some BBQ and bar food every once in awhile. So far, so good. It's amazing what exercise and eating right 90% of the time will do for you.
 
Unfort I cannot eat eggs without vomitting.

Yeah everyone post their results on this page if you want. it will be fun

Day 3 morning weigh in - 194.25, ran 30 mins and 1 hr ttrainer workout. Ate this:

Cereal
Rye Bread/Cheese

2 Scallops
Tomato/Lettuce Salad
Energy Lo Carb Bar

Olives
Baked Chicken Breast
Canned Lentils
Green Onions
Green Apple
 
That cash will hardly be noticed. It is more than enough to get a dj for an after party though.
 
hhk-

your diet smacks of improvisation. you need to have a better food plan. Also, you are wrong about Muesli, which is fantastic cereal.

Anyway This plan is pretty good. But you'll need to make sure you work out. Also, you should try two-a-day's, with 20 minutes of hard intervals, with a full body workout later in the day, emphasizing compound lifts.
 
Ill take a look at the bozo diet

192.75 as of today, yesterday ran for 35 mins and thendid a strengthworkout with my trainer that hurt a lot since im sore.

Today another 35 mins on the elliptical this tie, doing an hour of kickboxing with my trainer at 3.

Anyway - had same breakfast.

Last night had achicken breast, some lentils and 10 olives.
 
HHK:

Bozo is right. Compound superset exercises with no more than 30 seconds rest between each set will complement your weight loss regimen quite nicely. Don't go all Karen Carpenter on your diet either.

But it doesn't matter. This bet is candy from a baby. It's money in the bank. Your exercise and diet regimen is simply to get you down south of 190 consistently - high to mid 180's somewhere. Be sensible. You have so much time it's almost criminal. Once you're consistently sub-190 a week before the bet, you've won. We can get you to sub-180 by simple water manipulation.

Clearly your investing banking friends have never participated in any athletic event outside of badminton, at least not any weight limit sports. The beauty of this bet is that unlike a fighter making weight you don't have to worry about replenishing in time for the big athletic event. That's a good thing. Performance degradation is no concern.

If you can weigh 186 pounds three days before weigh in, we can take you home with two pounds to spare if you'll do the following:

1. 96 hours before you weigh in, you will eliminate all starches and salt from your diet. All. Even read the sodium content on your tuna. Don't starve yourself or do anything stupid. Eat several small meals: protein, a handful of salt free legumes (almonds are good), a light piece of fruit. Take Fish Oil tabs. Take ample supplemental fiber to keep things moving and continue throughout this process. You're fine. Oh, and you can only drink distilled water. And today you're going to drink a lot of it - constantly. Seems counterintuitive? You're tricking your body, because it's about to go in a feverish elimination mode. Hang with me.

2. 48 hours from weigh-in, your water intake is now limited only to when you feel thirst. Don't dehydrate yourself yet. Don't even get nervous if the scale shows 186 still right now. You're solid. You're going to be pissing a lot. A lot. Continue to drink only distilled water. Eat small portions of protein, salt-free legumes and a couple of pieces of fruit.

3. Last night you lost a lot of weight. You're now 24 hours from weigh in. Water consumption ends. Wet your mouth, spit it out. Small meals consisting only of protein - no food 16 hours from your weigh in. Take hot showers. Do a continuous cardio that's easy on you (exercise bike, elliptical on low setting) and get a nice sweat. You will develop a headache and feel restless. Interestingly, you will then begin to feel somewhat euphoric and not hungry at all. Lots of constant little pees now.

4. Day of weigh in. 1-4 hours before your weigh in, you will hit a sauna/steam room for 30 minutes. Or you could jump rope in warm ups. You will follow it with a hot shower and then a cold one to cool down. Don't drink. You're going to be slightly miserable and want to guzzle water straight from the shower.

5. Weigh in. You will be 178, possibly 175. I lost eleven pounds doing this and fought an amateur boxing match 24 hours later. You don't have to do **** but weigh, collect your money, guzzle the Gatorade in your hand, and then head to your favorite eatery for a blow out.

6. Send me 20%.
 
Awesome, thanks Scip.

My trainer is a professional kickboxer and there are bunch of other ones at the gym. They have essentially assured me the same. They are always having to make weight for fights and I'm sure they will have me doing something similar.

I'm at 192 today 5 days in.

Yeah my banker guys didn't believe I would do it hard core.

One guy was askin me how much booze I was going to drink (or actually how little). When Iresponded "none" they were taken aback.

Then the biggest short seller of my chances asked me if I was going to get a trainer and I said I'm seeing one 5 days a week he understood he was paying me.


I'll follow your instructions to the letter.
 
You're welcome, HHK. Step #6 is the most crucial of all.

notreally:

He could, but my approach is all multi-modal and ****. And it's also guaranteed. Different folks react differently to water pills and if he has an electrolyte imbalance and passes out, they're going to hook him up to an IV, fill him with fluids, and he'll lose the bet.

We cannot allow that to happen. When he triumphs, we all triumph.
 
191.5

I ust comment that without looking forward or enjoying meals your life satisfaction goes way down.

Then again im looking thinner so that balances it somewhat
 
Just started a diet plan a week ago.

Not sure that I've lost anything because I haven't been on a scale.

But my clothes seem to fit better.

Basically, I'm keeping a food diary so that I have to be aware of what I'm eating and how many calories I'm taking in. I went for happy hour one day and was astonished when I realized I had taken in 3000 calories that day and didn't eat much.

So, I'm not drinking. Which is going to suck.

My plan...
1. Keep the food diary. Count calories for everything
2. Keep my calorie intake at or below my resting metabolic rate each day.
3. Get some form of exercise each day.

Healthy folks out there-- is this a good plan? I'm not sure if I'm taking in too many or too few calories.

I bought a treadmill, so I'll be using it to walk each day.

Thoughts?
 
Me:
7/1/08 - 207 lbs
7/21/08 - 202 lbs
7/28/08 - 199.5 lbs

Smurfette,
I've been targeting 1600 calories a day. My fiancee is targeting about 1400 a day. There are 'bad' days when I hit 1800 and there are days when I only eat 1400. It all works out in the end.

We also try to do some cardio everyday. She is training for a triathlon, so on days that she does serious work-outs, she adds in extra calories... but otherwise we try not to let our exercise become and excuse for eating more.

After a few weeks of eating healthy, I actually have less cravings for food. I used to eat 4000 a day and actually crave more food. The first few weeks is really all about will power. It gets much easier after that.
 
hornin, i am always either trying to gain or trying to lose weight. pretty much year round.

here are some things tthat I have learned over the course the last few years training. keep in mind this is coming from someone who would just assume eat fast food every day if my body would allow it. there are a couple of staples that i at almost every single days like:

1. grilled chicken, rice, soy sauce. it is simple and i happen to love it. grilling the meat makes the difference night and day.
2. beans, grilled chicken, rice, salso. same thing. i can make it in bulk and i love it.

i'm not suggesting you eat what i eat. what i am suggesting is that you find a couple of dishes that you can prepare in bulk, you can eat every day, and you still like it. there are usually only a few of these types of dishes for every person. i cook enough rice to fill about 3 quart sized ziplocs and grill enough chicken, then cubed, to fill about 3 or 4 of the same quart ziplocs. i usually have to grill three days a week and i make about 4 - 6 lbs of meat every time. it makes it so easy to take with me to work and i can eat it whenever. i keep a bottle of soy sauce and a bottle of salsa in the work fridge.

another thing that helps is finding different ways to prepare your food at night. for instance, i like orange roughy, but as with anything it gets old when you eat as much of it as i do. so you have to work it a little. chop some onions, cilantro, garlic, and tomato and throw that on top of it. you can find little ways to spice up the food and make it more enjoyable and still be healthy.

the key for me to keeping consistent is to always prepare your food at home enough to last a couple of days and eat your 3 small meals at work.
 
I don't know if with the $$ on the line, you should be messing with rice. however, i believe tht whole brown rice is FAR superior to enriched white rice. any white enriched anything is **** and should not be eaten ever for you right now.
 
Well I like Brown rice in any case. NotReally I took your advice and bought a bunch of chicken breasts and made 6 little containers of chicken, broccoli and lentils.

Diner for the next 6 nights. Bought a bunch of chick-size palstic containers.

Im doing no rice and no potatoes.
 
that is probably a safe thing to do considering the short term goal here. but when it is over and if you are inspired to keep going, rice to cool. hell, you are in hong kong, surely there are skinny folks eating rice on every corner.
 
Yes I love rice. My skinny (indescribably hot, 5'7, 115 lb) temp secretary is AT THIS MINUTE eating some delicious smelling rice, chicken and vegetable chinese food thing and I mean a big *** container of it

She will gain no weight.

Today: Salad for lunch and some chopped up broccoli to eat like preztels for snack.
