Jonathon I have never had an energy drink, but I hear bad things, like heart arithmia issues. Id say slow them down. If your looking for a kick, try green tea with a little honey.

I have never been able to do energy drinks thankfully. They give me gut rot! I do however drink way too much coffee. Trying to do half caffeine in the afternoons! Glad I dont work nights anymore. I drank coffee all day when I did that.

If we all keep this up, Meatgistics members will not only be the most knowledgeable group, but the healthiest group around.
Now all we need to do is get Jonesy to flip to the Blue team. LOL

Just thought i would bring this up, i haven’t read all posts so not sure who is doing what. However when i was doing the dirty keto diet it was time for my 6 month teeth cleaning and i had excessive plaque build up which i have never had that much before. Come to find out that on the keto diet you strive to have a low carb high protein diet. Well unfortunately plaque loves protein which in turn gives you more plaque that could turn into decay with teeth and gums. It really sucks that you try to get healthy but it affects another part of your body negetivly. A lady friend of mine from California got severe kidney stones and ended up being septic from keto and in the hospital for an extended time. Just about lost her life. Stay safe and do thorough research.

twilliams Thanks for the head’s up. Seems that there is on easy sure fire way. Now that you mentioned it, on my last dental checkup, they had to do what they called a deep cleaning because of excessive plaque buildup. Now I understand why… Thanks again

I was down 6.4 lbs. Monday, from the previous Monday. 258.8.
I’ve tried the keto thing, with no success. I don’t know anyone who has been able to sustain only eating protein.
I joined the orange team because they had fewer members, which seemed to imply that they were more elite. It appeared that the blue team would accept just anybody!“Never eat more than you can lift.”

We have 2 keto cookbooks and a bunch of recipes off the internet that helped us. I went from 202 down to 162 in about 6 months. Then it became summertime and didn’t want to cook to heat up the house as we don’t have central air. As well as we have terrible hours and strenuous daily work so just didn’t feel like cooking anymore. I know, poor excuse. And yes I’m back to my bad habits and beginning weight if not more.

Chef - great job on the 5.6 lbs. It takes some intestinal fortitude to drop 5 lbs. in a week. Amazing that you can do that while you’re catering. I’m sure I could not handle the temptation.

Jonesy You also did fantastic. Frankly, having this journey with others does make it easier. And it’s not competitive, just people doing life together…

Week 3 checkin:
194 lb! That is somewhat surprising as I struggled to maintain my “only eat food you made” rule, what with the website launch and everything, last week I ate a Pizza one night…but that was the only thing now that I am thinking about it. So, started 201, down 7 lb so 1/4 of the way there!As for how I am feeling I don’t know…I didn’t maintain my almost manic state from last week. I think part of that might just have been the constant go go go from last week. Plus I have now “worked” 3 weekends in a row…okay okay one of those was going to Flint Oaks for a shooting event for Pass it on Outdoor Mentors, not exactly what we would call “work” but I still feel like I have to be “on” at things like that so I am looking forward to the upcoming long weekend!

Jonathon Down to 238.6 dropping only 1.2 pounds but feeling better and the back and knee pain is defiantly much less.
Still sticking to my only eat what I make rule. I think that the elimination of all the process stuff helping. Looking to a better loss over the next week.
-
Not s much weight for me, as it is lowering cholesterol. That being said, I am exactly the same weight as I was last week.

Jonathon This week was a challenge. Company in from out-of-town all weekend. Wife’s surprise retirement party Friday night… Grandson’s birthday party Saturday night… Beaucoup excuses why I went Up 2 tenths this week. However, all things considered, I consider the whole thing a win. It’s the type of week where I could have easily went up 5 lbs. 259.0 this morning.

Jonathon I also decided to join in. Mine started 2 weeks ago. Started at 209.5 lbs. Weighed in last night at 204.3lbs . I’m also trying to eat only what we make. No processed foods and smaller portions. It’s a little easier to do with a freezer full of meat and the garden starting to produce. Good luck to you all and stay strong. I’ll try to do the same. Almost forgot my goal is 185lbs.

To all working on losing some weight, congratulations on your effort. Remember there will be bumps in the road but stick with it as it will be worth it in the end.
