Hello Everyone!! How have you been? I've been doing good! Last friday we weighed in at work for our weight loss competition and I lost 5 more pounds!!! I was so happy when I saw that number. I couldn't believe it! I was like, no wait is that right? OMG!!! But yup 5 more down, many to go! But now I'm down to 360 pounds from 383. That's 23pounds total since June. And many of you know that I was on atkins a few month's ago. Then I stopped doing it, which was a huge mistake! Well after I stopped I went on a whole grain eating "diet". I can't really say it was a diet, I was just eating alot better. I haven't had fast food in over 8 month's and I really don't miss it at all. I really don't! I don't miss that feeling when I was done eating it where I would say, everytime, "Oh, Why did I eat that?" Seriously fast food is horrible and horrible for you and I'm so proud of myself for resisting to eat any. There used to be that urge to go get some, but for a few month's now I haven't had that urge at all! Well after I was at a standstill with my weight and felt like I couldn't do it anymore, I went back to my atkins diet and started it over and I've been sticking to it for a few weeks now. Plus this time I'm reading the book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. If you or someone you know is going to start atkins make sure you get the book! It's a must have for the diet. There is thing's in there I never knew I could eat while on atkins.
Alot of people think it's just meat, egg's and cheese, but did you know you can have vegetable's? The book name's alot of vegetables that you can have and that's just in the induction phase. All I can say is that this diet work's for me. It might not work for everyone, but if you can stick to it you WILL see some amazing result's!

Yes! Finally Some Result's!
Hello Everyone!!! Tony here giving you a little update.
Well yesterday we weighed in for our competition and I am pleased to announce that I lost 5 pounds!! I'm now down to 360. That's a total weight loss of 23 pounds! I was so happy to see that number go down. I think I really needed to see it drop to keep me more motivated. The work is paying off...finally!!!
On another note...I have to go get ready now, to go with Shanna to the gym because she is joining it today!! I can't wait to go to the gym together. At least I'll have someone there with me when Josh isn't there.
It's been a good week people! And I'm sure there is more where that came from! Talk to you guys later!

Was I Doing It Wrong?
Hello Everyone!!! How is everybody doing? Me? I'm doing good actually. I went to the gym for the first time at night yesterday! Very different, I kinda liked it, but I'd still rather go in the morning. I went on my friend again, the bicycle that's low lol. I don't even know the name of it, but I love it! I went almost 9 miles! Well truth be told, I went on the exercise bike for 1 and 1/2 miles. Then jumped on my friend :)
It definitely felt good to go. I didn't go in the morning like I usually do, so I decided to go at night. It was more crowded then I thought it would be. But not too crowded. Everyone at the gym is really nice too. I'm so glad I joined!
Something else I wanted to say was...I don't think I lost any weight :( Either I gained muscle and no weight was lost or I lost inches. Either way I should see a difference in the scale.
I've been talking to Jimmy Moore (livinlowcarbman on youtube)and I explained to him what my intake was of foods for the day because I wanted to know what I was doing wrong! So he said I should be losing weight as well as inches. It looks like I'm not getting enough fat in my diet. Because on atkins you need fat to burn fat. 20 carbs a day is essential too! Plus you must not go over 6 hours without eating. And you must eat til your full. These thing's are very important. As is other thing's, but we won't get into that today.
One thing I can say is that I feel so much better then I did. Everyday seems to get better then the last. I weigh in tomorrow for my work's weight loss competition. I guess we shall see if there was any difference this time. Tomorrow will also be 2 weeks since I started the diet. But I think I was doing it a little wrong. For one I drank 2 night's last week. So that might have something to do with it. I was eating peanut butter on occasion. I was drinking drink's that I didn't know had aspartame in them. And I wasn't getting enough water. I guess you can say that I didn't start the diet until 2 days ago really. Because I was doing it all wrong!! Well not completely wrong, but still there were thing's I shouldn't have eaten (peanut butter), and drank ( cherry vodka and drink's with aspartame). I'm back on the right track now!

Sorry :(
Hey everyone!! Tony here, and I just want to say I'm so sorry for not keeping everyone up to date with everything happening in my life. To be honest I'm quite horrible with that, but I'm getting better :)
So for the last few day's I've unfortunitly been lazy, except for yesterday. Yesterday I went to the gym after not going for like 5 days! I told you I was lazy! Well, I had it in my head yesterday to get on the exercise bike and do at least 10 miles. 10 freakin' miles!!! That's the most I've ever done in my life! And I was determined to do it. Well....to tell you the truth I didn't do 10 miles, I did 12!!!! That's right 12 miles!!! I alternated between the exercise bike and the other kind of exercise bike where your leg's are out more. Like almost like you would lay on the ground and bicycle your leg's in the air. Except your not actually on the ground. Oh nevermind, let's just say I LOVE that bike!!!
But that's it so far with gym news. I bought the new Atkins book and have been reading that. Except I had to stop til I get into the next phase or else I might forget it lol. Yes I'm still on Atkins and it's going great! I haven't cheated on the diet at all.
Now, I'm not sure if I lost any weight in the past week and a half, but I look and feel thinner. Pant's that were bought for me at Christmas time last year now fit me! So I think I lost some inches! Which is just as awesome! So this friday will be offcially 2 weeks I'm on the diet and I can honestly say that I feel much better already. I have more energy, more "spunk" if you will. I can't explain it, I just feel all around better then I did and I love it. I don't want that feeling to go away.
I guess that's it for now! Check back soon for more updates!

Day 5!!
Hello everyone!! Welcome back to my blog!
Today is day 5 of the Atkins diet....take 2. So far so good! I actually have more energy then I did before. Not too much to say really. Went to Bonanza today and got a montery chicken and broccoli. I also got the buffet and had a salad and some meat and cheese that was on the buffet. To drink was water with lemon. Tasted good too!
The last time we were there I drank 8 glasses of water! Well apparently the waiter remembered us and brought over a whole pitcher of water! I found that to be funny :)
Well that's all for now. Hopefully tomorrow I get a chance to write another entry. Busy day so we shall see. thanks for reading!

First Entry!! Day 3!
Hello everyone! Welcome to my first entry into my blog!
I will be talking all about my diet and how my progress is going. I decided to change my eating style in June of this year (2007). I started the atkin's diet, lost some weight, went off it, decided to start eating whole grain foods instead. I even lost some weight on that...until I binged for a day, like I used to all the time.
I ordered pizza from a certain pizza restaurant chain that I will not mention ,but it sounds like mapa pon's. Well I ordered a medium pizza with sausage and bacon and a dozen wing's with cheese sauce. The pizza came within the hour. Paid for it, sat down, and began to eat. Mind you I didn't even grab a plate. My pizza box was the plate.
Less then a half hour later...everything gone! I have never ate that much in such a short amount of time in my entire life!
The next day I made a box of spaghetti and sauce. Same thing! All gone in less then an hour!!
That's when I realized I needed to do something about this. Because I have kept off the weight I lost in the past few month's I didn't want to gain it all back like I usually do.
That's when I decided to go back on my atkin's diet and really stick to it this time. Well this is day four and I feel better already! I haven't weighed myself in about a week, but I was 365. I started off at 383 in June. 18 pounds gone that will NEVER be coming back!
