My wife just ordered something called the Skinny Switch but I don't think her switch has tripped yet... ;) While I am a calorie counter and believe in eating healthy I have to agree with Tony here... if you are keeping the calories at reasonable levels and taking the time to burn some off, the weight comes off.

I'm 6'3" 207 lbs. Three months ago i was 235 lbs. You keep calories under 2000 a day and do thirty minutes on a treadmill every day and track it using an outstanding site like Daily Burn. Last night I had sushi, fried cheese cake with ice cream and hot and sour chicken soup. i eat what i want, when I want, but make sure i don't break the 2000 calories mark. Forget all the trendy bs, don't need it. Look gang, it's real simple. I'm 6'3" 207 lbs. Three months ago i was 235 lbs.

The workouts are also provided by the PN coaches; in general they tend to follow a 4-day split while I add about 45min-1hr of cardio to every lifting day and try to do 1-1:30hr of cardio + 30 mins sauna on non-lifting days. I'm actually going to try out of some of the random classes at my gym too--Power Yoga looks interesting since my flexibility sucks. Fortunately for me, my wife defers all the cooking to me since I got mad skillz, so we basically eat omelets two times a day. The dinners that I do make, on occasion, tend to follow the same nutritional approach that I follow on a somewhat daily basis: I aim for a 25%C/35%P/40%F macronutrient split. I also basically quit drinking except for a couple of drinks on Friday nights. Here's an example of how I eat: Breakfast: omelet: 1 cup egg whites, 1 egg, 1oz feta cheese, grape tomatoes Workout Post-workout shake: 1 cup nonfat kefir, 1 cup blueberries, 1 scoop whey, apple Lunch 1: 1 cup cottage cheese, 2tbsp peanut butter Lunch 2: usually similar to lunch 1. Dinner: similar to Breakfast unless I have time to cook in which case I probably make salmon teriyaki and some salads.

I noticed you hadn't yet so I was curious. I assume you are pretty busy these days though. Congrats btw! Are you planning to use the meal tracker? I noticed you hadn't yet so I was curious.

My goal is to keep my caloric intake under check and to get to a point where I've mastered nutrient timing. I'm an engineer so I have to know why a diet works... just following one doesn't work for me. My exercise program will be pretty riggorous. I'm doing the Power 90 program in the mornings and running in the evenings. Power 90 is a prequel to the P90X program. It is a 6-day/week workout program that alternates circuit training with resistance bands and cardio training. In the evenings I'm running/walking 3 miles every night. The goal is to increase my running distance every week until I'm running all 3 miles. My biggest concern is under supplying my body during this challenge. I want to be aggressive and lose weight, but I don't want to be so aggressive that my body goes into conservation mode. I do not have a very solid "diet" that I am working from.

My plans are pretty much to keep going with what I'm doing - I eat mostly fruits, vegetables, lean meat and whole grains. I'm loosely following the DASH diet which also means low sodium and no caffeine. My question, Andy, is are you planning to incorporate vegetables? They are a good source of fiber, vitamins, etc - once you learn how to buy a prepare them, it's great. Check local farmer's markets this time of year for some awesome produce! Good luck on the journey! I'm excited to see and hear how everyone is doing! Great job so far on making the changes to get healthier.
