Just Lipton. I put like 6 bags in the coffee pot and brew away. When its done brewing i let the bags sit in the pot on the burner of the coffee pot for like 20 min after. It tastes pretty strong actually.
As of a few nights ago i didnt know it had caffeine in it. I was drinking it all day up till like 11 pm. I tried to go to bed at 1230 and couldn't. I was hot and restless. i think i finally fell asleep around 330ish.
I was trying to set some goals all the way through summer. Not sure how much i can lose in a certain amount of time, but here is what I came up with...
New Years - 180lbs.
March 20th (First Day of Spring) 165 lbs
June 14th (My Birthday) 155 lbs
----------------------------------------------
I think that is what I am supposed to weigh and thats what I am shooting for.
I have about 6 3/4 months to shed around 47 lbs.

Looking good gordz..
Im going to get on the green tea bandwagon.. I always liked tea anyhow.. %
Any idea how many calories you are taking in.. Looks really low man.. I have been struggling with getting my calories also. I get really busy at work and before you know it, lunch time and I missed two meals.. I'm still managing to get 2000cals per day with the help of whey protein in the early am and one after working out.
Looks like you may actually be getting enough fat intake.. Im taking in around 20-25% of my daily calories in fat. Good fats, ANPB, Almonds, Flax Oil, Fish Oil Caps, Olive Oil.
My protein is about 40-45% and I try to keep my carbs down as much as possible but I average around 30%.
Keep it up!!

Ya i think my cals are low. I never figured out how many though... But itsw weird im not hungry. Hopefully the vitamins i am taking compensate for some of the nutrients im missing out on.
My stomach must be shrinking too. I had a hard time this morning eating 4 eggs and 2 pieces of wheat toast.
Oh and I weigh 201 lbs this morning. im down 5 pounds so far this week. I feel pretty good too.

Sweet, 5pds.. I also experienced a quick loss my first week.. Might have alot to do with water weight but great job so far.. Just dont get too worried about the weight on the scale, I weight myself every morning to log into the computer but more importantly I looked for 4pds loss over a full two week period.

Yea, its a good start. The first 2 weeks are always the hardest of the diet. Im almost half way there.
Also, i didnt eat much today. We are having like 40 people over tomorrow for dinner and have been really busy..
at 12pm I had eggs and toast
7pm I had 2 turkey legs and ANPB
Thats it.. And i had like 4 green teas and 2 bottles of water.

Hey Gordz,
You got to try and split you meals.. That will keep you metabolism going.. I ave been having the same issue though the last two weeks.. But I really push myself..
Might I suggest getting some Whey Protein.. I have a shake in the a.m. upon waking and another post workout.. This will help getting your meals up a little without fasting so long. My understanding is that eating something first thing in the morning will also get your metab. starting up first thing in the morning and you will burn more calories throughout the day. Going all way from Dinner to 12pm lunch has got to be the worst thing you can do.. Get your breakfast in! Remember this is a lifestyle change.. We want to make sure that you keep this weight off after you loose it..

Alright, thanks for the advice. I was just crazy busy today helping my mom. I didnt want to cook myself food because she was preparing like 6 or 7 pies, cookies, getting veggies and stuff ready. i just didnt want to be in the way.
And i still didnt get to eat again. I had to get the tables and everything set up. Then my uncle came over and took me shooting. We shot his .45 and 9mm at the indoor range. We went through 700 rounds, lmao. We were there for like 2.5 hrs.
Its 1130 now, kinda late to eat I guess... Ill just munch on some ANPB and Celery.
