Count me in.  I could stand to lose a few pounds. 

Payment just sent.  Initial weight today is 163.6 lbs.

I hope everyone is doing well so far. I bought a pint of chocolate milk from the convenience store yesterday. After drinking about half of it, I decided to check out the calories...440 for a pint! That was unexpected.

I was doing good until lunch today, when coworkers went to my favorite indian food place and I did not say no. So today I had a fat guy lunch of bread and curry (i.e. gravy)

I am down a couple so far. Cutting the excessive amount of alcohol and soda has probably made the biggest difference. Trying to limit my sugar to 40g a day at the most, and 1500 calories or less.

Afraid to weigh myself. I am sure I am up from Monday.

Still need to pay $10.

Ate an entire "Movie Theatre Box" of Peanut Chews. Holy shit they were delicious. Holy shit the satisfaction was gone after a few minutes.

I imagine that this is what heroin is like.

Damn Este, you should be a motivational speaker at weight loss meetings!  I know I'd like a box of peanut chews right now.

I'm in it (once I PayPal, see my fear of commitment) just to lose a pound or two.

Ha!

I've been sticking with my diet pretty well, and I've been walking 5ish miles a day. Yesterday marked day 30 without beer. I think I lost most of the easy weight already, I'm only down a bit over a pound in the past few days. I've tried to throw in some biking and bodyweight workouts this week, so I'm telling myself the slower rate of weight loss is due to the massive amount of muscle I've put on from doing pushups a couple times this week.

EDIT: I am below 210 for the first time in I don't know how long, at least 3 years. Just barely below 210, but that feels great. Can't wait to see the scale show something below 200!

This is the first time in my life that I've ever gone on a diet. 

I been on a juicing diet for a week now and I must say, it's going well.  Surprisingly I'm not super hungry and drinking a serving of juice for a meal replacement is more satisfying than I expected. 

Definitely have to increase the amount of exercise I do, which is practically none right now.

Maintaining the same activity level that your body is used to, but reducing the amount of calories and sugar your body is absorbing, is a great weight loss method.

If you begin to exercise in excess that your body is used to you may upset your metabolism and cause your resting metabolism to conserve energy, and you might find yourself not being as satisfied by those juice.

Burning 400 calories is a lot harder than not consuming them.

Thanks for the input, what your saying definitely makes sense. 

I wasn't planning on any rigorous exercising, but I should try and be a bit more active than I am now.

UPDATE: Still avoiding scale. I am pretty sure I will crack glass plate and cut my foot.

A serious massive good luck to all you peeps doing this!!! I'm tempted to join in as I recently lost 56lbs in 13 weeks.... But I have had some meds issues ( suffer with depression) I've probably put most of that back on... Dry nking a bottle of whisky ain't gonna help much!!! But I'll keep n eye out and try to be encouraging /hard ass to keep y'all in line...

I am eating bagel and cream cheese as I type this. Avoided scale since August 2
