Walking (I'm fat and I admit it)

keep up the good work !!!

 

Walk around that petro in atlanta,

it may be the last walk you ever do !!!

 

Way to go! I never do laps around the truck stops, myself, I prefer to get away from the trucks and just head off down a road somewhere, but whatever works to get a trucker moving is a good thing.

When you have achieved a basic level of fitness, you may want to consider adding wrist weights. It'll burn a few more calories while you are walking.

 

Right there with ya..not walking around the truck stop but dropping some weight.
Doc gave me a simple formula...PBR..not the beer
Cut
P = Potatoes, Pasta, Pastries
B = Bread
R= Rice

Also said take your normal portion on the plate and eat only half of it..that helps in truck stops where you can't control portion size.

I have put a hurtin on some salad bars recently.

This combined with 30 minutes of walking a day has resulted in 12lbs dropped in 3 weeks

Once a week now I have a reasonable portion of a PB or R..

Good luck to ya..us fat guys gotta stick together!

 

So no carbs basically. He should have said no refined sugars either if you really want to avoid the bad stuff. Good job on the weight loss!

 

stevia (sugar in the raw) has 0 calories and 0.5 g of carbs...and tastes good. hubby is diabetic we use it to sweeten our tea. u can use it just like sugar...baking etc

 

Yep, basically no carbs.
Will work on sugar later. These are life style changes and trying to take em all on at once would be overwhelming and probably cause me to just give up again.
One step at a time

 

very true ....

 

I agree with you on the one step at a time thing, but you do realize sugar is a carb, right? I would argue sugar is more harmful than potatoes or pasta. Not that I am smarter than your doctor, of course!
