She and I have the two least compatible diets you could think of. She's a vegetarian and I'm on Keto. Its tough to eat the same things, but we adapt our meals so that we can both eat.

She made me some taco shells out of shredded cheese the other night that were amazing and she cooked me ground beef and herself soy meat.

Basically, she fully supports what I'm doing.

However, I'm on the verge of quitting Keto, but I'm still going to eat healthy. No junk food allowed.

Down to 212 which is 37 down from my November start date. I've hit a little bit of a wall, but need to be under 200 by the middle of June.

Keto it up for a month and you'll be golden.

Made it down to 172lbs at the end of my 3 week juice fast. I'm never juice fasting for that long again. Two weeks semi annually is enough for me.

I ain't doing so well this year. I don't even want to know what I weigh today. My next weigh in will be June 1.

Didn't join the challenge last year, but I went from my heaviest weight ever of 235 lbs. to current weight of 181 lbs. Participating in my first GoRuck challenge this weekend. Wish me luck and check out GoRuck.com for details of the hell I'm going to put myself through on Saturday.

BUT DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT HIGH CHOLESTEROL?

Down 11 lbs in the last week and a half! Basically a weight watcher's type of thing without actually going to weight watchers. I know their point system is to keep you under a certain amount of calories per day. I'm doing that on my own.

For those of you who I "yelled" at for pushing the no carbs things down my throat: while I'm still eating carbs, I try to avoid a majority of them if I can. People keep saying to get tortilla rolls instead. One tortilla has as many calories as two slices od the bread I was eating!

I'm avoiding too many deep fried foods. Not because of the saturated fat, but because it's so high in calories. I'm not depriving myself, but I have definitely cut back, even if not intentionally.

I still eat the occasional sweet, but only if my calories allow it. Last night, I was able to get a small strawberry cheesecake Blizzard, which is 510 calories, and I was still under my calories for the day! I have a major sweet tooth. Whenever I have the urge, I will sometimes chew a piece of gum or suck on a Life Saver.

My downfall is still soda. While I won't touch anything that isn't 0 calorie, I know it's still bad for me.

Exercise is going great. Derby seems to have killed my knees for jogging, but I still get out and walk when time allows and doing a little outdoor skating. I have derby practice for two hours twice per week. I even got out on my bike yesterday!

Good work. I drink WAY to much soda (mostly diet) and beer and also have a sweet tooth. That isn't going away, though. What I do to offset my soda habit a bit is to do pushups in my office after each trip to the restroom. I start with 50 and go down by ten each time. It at least makes me think twice about grabbing another soda in the afternoon when my arms hurt from 120 pushups. It's not even close to perfect, but my eating/drinking habits never will be, so I try to eliminate as much of the bad as I can stand while doing little things to temper the bad habits I keep.

I'm within 2-3 pounds of my ideal weight now, so I'm not sweating it too much compared to when I was 20 pounds heavier.

I've found that I'm not as hungry whenever I drink a soda. So, I figure if I can curb my appetite with a zero calorie soda, then it's better than the alternative. I just have to stop being "better than I was" and start being "as good as I can be". I'm a long ways from it, but I'm heading in the right direction.

I've went off slow carb about two weeks ago. At that time my weight was steady at 167 over several weeks. Blood chemistry was much improved. I've added yogurt, fruits, high carb veggies like sweet potatos and beets, into my diet. Still limiting white carbs (sugar, flour, pasta, white rice, potatos). I've dropped as low as 165 since making the switch, but am allowing my self the occasional cheat, which is keeping me in the 166 to 167 range. Since making the switch I'm not eating as much protein, so I'm Leary that if I lose more weight it will start coming from muscle mass.

You won't learn to box, but it's a good workout.
