I think carbs have their place in a diet. Mostly for a western diet though, they're not as necessary since we lead more sedentary lifestyles. If we're not burning off the excess fuel, we don't need to take in as much. That's just my $.02. I'm not a doctor, but i did stay at a hotel last night, but not a Holiday Inn.
Pretty much the low fat labels are a lie (at least with many products, especially salad dressings). They are lower in fat than other products but still very high fat content.

Today was Cardio Recovery day..kind of a waste of time in my opinion. I think in the future I will just go run 2.5 to 5 miles on Cardio recovery day.

Still going good.

I'll have a Fresca!!!
(On the other hand, no I won't. It has grapefruit in it. I understand that if I eat grapefruit with my Carbamezapine it'll kill me or make my noodle soggy or something.)

Fresca? They still make that horrid drink?

Actually, now that I'm older and have acquired a taste for diet drinks, Fresca might not be bad. I don't think they sell it around here if it's still in production.

I love it. Loved it when I was a kid, even. That and Diet 7up. They had a citrus drink called Rondo that I liked, too. It was around 30 some-odd years ago, I have no idea when it disappeared. There were two kinds, I remember just liking the one in the yellow can.
You want horrid? Try a Tab. No idea what's in that stuff, but I never could get it down.

I liked Tab when I was 4yrs old. I don't remember what it tasted like.

Aye, a lifestyle change has to be permanent. I'm sure every single person here has lost and then gained it all back and maybe then some!

I got my walk in yesterday. I am not a breakfast person so I have started making Protien shakes for breakfast. That really seams to help my morning go better.

Breakfast gets your metabolism going in the morning, Laura. It's a key to doing this. Protein shakes are great and there are so many varieties that you can make in order to keep from getting bored with them. Keep it up!

I have a hard time with breakfast.
I get up at 4 am start work at 6 and my first blow isn't until 9
Thats when I eat, a full 5hrs after I get up.
The other morning when I grabbed that banana at the store before my ride in, I was out of my mind hungry by 7:30.
I don't know which is worse for me!

I am like you Dom, I would get up and get going then settle down about 3 to 4 hours later for breakfast. I have found that 5 oz of milk with a protien mix, I use the one that is part of the Biggest looser plan. This takes me until 11 to noon, I do this at 7am.

Thanks Laura.
I may look into it.
Can It be mixed up the night before?
I usually don't get home from work until 1 am and have to get up at 4am.
My wife packs my bag the night before because I'm usually a zombie.

Jesus, seriously Dom? That's a big problem right there. Is there anyway to get around this? Most people recommend 6-8 hours of sleep for effective weightloss. If you are only getting three hours of sleep, your body needs extra calories to survive.
If you can't work around it, good luck, but if there's anything you can change to get some more sleep each night, try to do so.

Proteins and fiber are your best sources to help keep that full feeling longer. And there's nothing wrong with eating 4-5 small meals a day instead of the usual 3. Keyword being "small".

Good morning fellas.

Had my weigh in today.
172.6
Another 1.2 lbs
I would say I'm on track with both my long term and short term goals.
260 by July 4th
250 by labor day
I know that's only 10 lbs between the two holidays but I tried to account for summer BBQ season.
Anyway, I'm well on my way!
