Well, I am taking the plunge and am going to be starting a new "diet" on Monday. It's Bob Harpers (from the biggest loser) The Skinny Rules. I have really struggled losing weight after my two back surgeries and I must lose the weight if I am to ever run injury free and be healthy. I am quite certain that once I get the weight off I will be able to keep it off as I love working out and running, it's just getting the weight gone. In the last 19 months I have lost 12-13 pounds, which while is nice and slow is mostly weight loss in my legs (I have not lost enough in my waist to even get into a smaller waistline pair of jeans). It also does me not a lot of good in running injury free. My 5'7.5" body needs a lighter build on it if I am ever going to be able to keep running.
I am quite nervous as it seems no diet out there really takes into account picky eaters like me (meat and potatoes, meat and potatoes). They all say there's plenty of variety in foods, and there is, if your not picky and gag on a lot of foods (veggies). As it sits I will really struggle on this diet with lunches and dinners. All the snacks and breakfasts will be easy and close to what I do already. I also grew up in an eating family (all big eaters) so I am afraid of the portion sizes and still being hungry after eating. Any advice or words of encouragement? On a positive note, I seem to be running again barefoot, although very short distances. Hopefully as I get lighter this will get better.
