Small update

I'm back on Nutrisystem...kind of. Essentially I know that I'll never be able to follow it hardcore and correctly. I have low will power. The more I fight the sooner I'll give in. So, in order to at least attempt to lose weight I've decided to go by a 2/1 method. For every two meals I follow the plan exactly, I get one 'free' meal where I can eat what I want within reason. I've already lost two pounds since Friday on this plan. Sure I won't lose as quickly, but I won't turn into a crabby bitch because I'm not eating carbs. I also, for the most part, dislike the food on NS. Yesterday I had cheese tortellini, which I ADORE, but I had to force myself to finish it because it was nasty. Ass nasty. For dinner we had the real stuff. I put olive oil and Parmesan cheese instead of spaghetti sauce. Very yummy. ^_^

Right now I'm around 293. I gained a bit back, but 3lbs up versus 27lbs down? I'm still calling it a win.

Did you know that for every 1 pound lost, you take 4 pounds of pressure off your knees?

Yeah, some stuff is very 'duh', but other things got me to thinking. It's a good list for everyone to read.

Another 'duh' article, but still a good read.

It's generally best to lose 1-2 lbs a week. You do that for a year, you'll be down to 200-240. That will do you a bunch of good.

Hehe, while it would be awesome to lose 200+ in a year, it's really more like 100lbs. Besides, if I lost that much I'd be put in the hospital!

If I can get to 180, I'll be a happy camper.

I meant 200-240 overall, not down 200 lbs to 100 total.

I lost too much weight in basic, and that screwed me up.

Ah, gotcha. ^_^
