July Challenge - How much jiggly can you lose?

Ok....  Dean seems to be over in Europe on his Harley tracking down the Neanderthal's....

So I'll start this Challenge.
Pick your food group, stick with it all the way to the end of July and tell us what benefit you got from it... ok?

Pick your poison, stay accountable... whether you f**k up or not, just stick with it.. it's the best way to be successful...

Mine is always ZC with a limeade or a fish taco or a beer thrown in...
What about you all?

And i'd love to see you stick with it all the way to July 31st.. it's the only way to be successful.. sticking to a plan.

anyone else?
jeff

I don't jiggle anymore, but I'm in.

I do meat, eggs, cheese, maybe a little heavy whipping cream now and then.  I will also have an occasioinal ZC or VLC alcholic beverage.  Oh, and coffee!

I'm in.
Daily I eat: meat and/or fish, coffee and devon cream (46% fat).
Not daily: Eggs, bacon and cheese.

The only thing I eat from the plant kingdom is coffee  LOL

Starting weight today is 215.8.

I'm so excited I'm jiggling. It may take some time, but those jiggles won't be hanging around anymore. No No
Lauren R

Let's see if I can stick to posting. I am eating the same as before.
Meat, eggs, cheese, heavy cream in my coffee. White wine occaisionally.
I still jiggle a little and need to get the last bit off.
Lauren
Bobi

No jiggles here either, I eat the same way all the time!

Chicken, beef, fish, eggs, cheese, some salsa or a tomato from time to time, Heavy whipping cream, Teas, Coffee, Water, week-end margaritas, MGD beers...that's it, folks!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtrEN-YKLBM

Jeff..I feel the need to be the judge of this..meet y0u in the basement.. Devil

As for getting less Jiggly..well...I have a lot of work in that department.  I commit to:

Keeping up with my current eating plan which is...rather paleo these days with the exception of half and half and a touch of cheese on occasion...
Meat, fish, poultry, raw nuts, all in forms of whole unprocessed foods, limited fruit and veggies which I have grown or gathered, under 20 carbs when I want them.  Coffee and half and half,  occasional cheese...and not weighing except once a week...I do have some bacon..but it's nitrate free and I have some salmon burgers that have canola oil in them..not going to throw them out..so there..

Riding my bike..actually doing it this time but with a more realistic goal of 20-30 miles a week.

Keeping up with my weight training and push-ups

Starting crunches again on a regular basis.

That should do it for me..

Lynne, thanks for starting this challenge. Heart
Lynne

salad with apple, walnuts, bacon and lettuce..and dressing.
coffee with half and half


Exercise, crunches, 100 push-ups, weight training, 20 mile bike ride....Grin ..if that doesn't get some jiggle out..nothing will..!!

Lynne

Thursday 7/2

intake:

beef
coffee (2mugs) w/ h&h, stevia
kateryna

Menu:
herrings, pork burger, ribeye (that was so bad I had to throw half of it out - wasn't fat but some sort of grizzle and I pay $11.23 a pound for it here) so I made bacon and feta omelet to abate the remaining hunger. What a rip off.

I need to find a good butcher. Going to Easyfords Meat on Saturday to see what kind of meat they sell and what quality.
MetalMama

Today:

Ribeye
4 egg, Ribeye & Cheese omelet  Grin
An obscene amount of bacon
*Note to self - DO NOT make lots of extra bacon for later - it does NOT work  ROTFL

Kate - you really do need to find a good butcher - while I've always loved Ribeye, what I get now from a butcher/meat shop blows away any meat I can get in a grocery store and it's cheaper to boot. PLUS - it's untrimmed!!! Oh man....the fat is just gorgeous and unbelievably yummy.

Hope you find a good source soon - good Ribeye just cannot be beat!
Bobi

Starting the Holiday early...ate heavier than usual today!!

Chicken, cheese, coffee, heavy cream, Ice Tea (too much)!  ham & turkey slices, MGD beer! LOL
kateryna

MM I never cook anymore than 4 or 5 slices of bacon because I can probably go through 2 pounds of it if I cooked it all.
y0u

Day 2

Food

lamb
burger patty
2 salmon burgers with dressing
apple, walnut, bacon, lettuce salad with dressing

I boiled up some eggs for deviled eggs tomorrow and I may fry some more salmon burger on the stove if it cools off for tomorrow..the next few days are going to be VERY busy at work..and super HOT....I will not have the time or the energy to cook after work..and I had better have something ready.

Day 4

Food
salmon burgers with dressing
pemmican
deviled eggs
french filet beans that I grew
a few strawberries that I grew
coffee with half and half

Eating pemmican on my lunch break at work..worked out really really well.

Exercise..ringing up beer and peoples crappy ass food for 8 and 1/2 hours....I just cannot believe what the general public puts in their bodies...It's sickening..

I have always eaten pretty healthy..and just cannot see why people eat all this processed crap.

Typical customer gets a 12 pack of soda, some ding dongs, a candy bar, some potato salad, 6 pack of Pabst, some frozen TV dinner and a loaf of  white squishy bread.

They have sores all over their bodies, very few or no teeth..and horrid skin...and complain that they are tired...

I will occasionally eat my meat completely raw, but usually I just sear the outside for about 30 seconds per side.  So it's still pretty much raw.  For me, raw meat seems to digest quicker and easier.  When I eat fully cooked meat, it feels so heavy in my stomach.  With raw, I don't get that.
Willeke

I don't like totally raw meat, but I don't like fully cooked meat at all -except for chicken and pork of course. Beef I just sear so that it's warm inside but still as good as raw, that's the way I like it best.

I am not good in challenges but I will just continue with only meat and butter and one coffee a day. further decaf and tea and water. No cheese or cream or sweeteners anymore!

Now if that would make me lose 10 pounds or so I would be happy!
kateryna

Welcome to the challenge Willeke  Yup

I eat only medium rare beef steaks on occasion only because raw meat seems to be harder for me to digest. Who knows what could happen down the road as I become adjusted. One month at a time.
Willeke

absolutely, one month at a time!
It took me two months to get off sweeteners, because I used to have three in my coffee. I just started with two for a week and then 1 for a week and then nothing and I'm glad I did it.
MetalMama

Lynne,

I eat my beef the same as Jeff - I sear it quickly on the outside and the middle stays raw. I do nibble on some raw beef here and there as I'm preparing it - I find it almost sweet. It's amazing how things can seem sweet or salty when you've given those things up.

I just don't trust my meat enough to eat it all raw - I feel like a quick sear will destroy any lingering bacteria. Plus - I sear it at very high heat and it makes a nice little crust on the outside - I love the flavor duality of warm almost crispy outside with cold, raw inside...yum!
kateryna

today's eats: bison, chop, bacon, coffee, cream  Smile

HC = Heavy Cream

aha! thanks a lot MetalMam!

The MGD 64 is the lowest carb beer there is, to the best of my knowledge.  2.4g per 12 ounces.  Only 64 calories, too, but I really don't care about that.  LOL

Made by yours truly!  

I take about a half dozen mint leaves, freshly plucked from my mint garden, 1/4 of a lime cut into 4 chunks, a teaspoon of splenda, and mash them all together with a blunt instrument.  Add as much Rum as you like and fill the remainder of the glass with club soda.   Toast

I did try it without the spenda, but it just didn't cut it.

I didn't really eat  much today except for the iced coffee and pork and berries...not hungry and I'm not going to worry about it...I even brought pemmican to work but never got hungry.

I usually crave carby things like pasta or baked goods after drinking wine..not a single craving today..and no appetite..I had to force myself to eat the pork before work.

Cravings in general..sometimes I crave alcohol..and I give into it once a month...but that's about it...my other cravings are for meat. Grin
