Starting again...
I started back 26 Nov 2012 on a low carb diet weighing 224.2 lbs. I'm trying to make a really good effort this time around. The highest weight that I reached was 241 lbs - one good thing is that I didn't let my weight get that high again before I started on this diet. I started dieting and SparkPeople in 2008 at 233.8 lbs.

1/2/11: Like the song "Twelve Days of Christmas", I got a "gift" every day - averaging a pound gain each day for twelve days. I actually gained 14 lbs from my low of 198 in the span of one month and am now 212 lbs. I started back on my diet January 1 and have been good through 1.5 days so far...
Happy New Year!
1/1/11: I've been off my low carb diet (or ANY diet for that matter) for about a month, and have been really crazy food-wise for the past two weeks.
I've gained a significant amount of weight back, but I have started back on my low carb diet to get back to where I was (and then some).
I've updated my ticker to reflect my new weight (212 lbs) with the hope that it won't take me too long to get back to where I was. I exercised on my stationary bike today for 65 minutes and burned 400 calories and did a little walking around town today. I was very good on my low carb eating today.
10/31/10: Still weigh 198.8. Still working out and limiting my carb intake.
My band was the first up on Halloween night for a Battle of the Bands contest - and we had a blast. I was supposed to be a "Skull" for halloween, but when the drummer's wife looked at me she said she needed to give me advice about the make-up: "Less is more." and left it at that. My lead guitar said that I looked more like a scary panda than a skull. Oh well...everyone wanted a picture with the Skull though...
10/10/10: Lost 1.6 1bs since my last update - I am now in "Onederland" at 198.8. Woo Hoo!
09/26/10: Haven't broken the 200 lb mark when I weighed in this morning, but darn close at 200.4 lbs. I finally clocked in over 2000 miles on my bike - mostly commuting to work each day. Working out with weights three days a week.
08/28/10: Weighed in at 201.4 - lost 3 lbs since last month. Still limiting my carbs and exercising. Came back from a two-week business trip and found that I had not gained - and I was able to do my weight lifting and the elliptical trainer during that time. Hopefully I'll get to break the 200 lb mark soon and get into "onederland".
07/25/10: I'm currently at 204.4 - lost 1.2 lbs from last check-in in June. Still riding my bike - I now have 1840 miles logged in - mostly riding my bike back and forth to work. Started weight lifting - that'll put some muscle weight back on, but that's no problem. I've actually went from my largest pants size of 44 to 38 - I'm able to wear old clothes that I haven't fit in a LONG time!
06/12/10 - Here's my multi-month check-in: Lost 8.4 lbs since my last check-in in February. Still doing the Atkins' Diet (I've been on it since last September) and I'm actually pretty happy on it. Sure...I can't eat some stuff that I used to, but I really CAN live without stuff that I used to eat regularly - especially stuff that is made mostly of sugars or carbohydrates: candy, cakes, rice, etc. I'm at my lowest weight in at least 5 years.

02/26/10 - Still plodding along. Even though I haven't been posting, I'm still on program - slowly (very slowly) but surely weight coming off. I've been doing low carb since September and am trying to exercise every day. I've been riding my bike on days that I can (and doing either a stationary bicycle or elliptical trainer when I can't due to weather). I now have over 1600 miles on my bike. I haven't been keeping up with logging my exercise in or my food, but I'm still on plan.

I'm starting back on Sparkpeople!
08/05/09 - Have a challenge right off the bat - I will be going to travel starting not this coming Friday, but next Friday and will be working from 5:30 PM to 6:30 AM for 14 days straight (including the weekends of course). I hope I don't lose momentum during that time. Cross your fingers for me!
BTW, I still commute to work by bike (except when it's raining or I need a break) - I've ridden over 1300 miles since I started about a year ago.
