The Blue Box

Start Weight:(01 Mar 12) 114.6 lb
Current Weight:(19 May 13) 103.2 lb
Goal Weight:102.0 lb
following: The Blue Box Diet
performance: gaining 1.7 lb a week

After months of exercising and calorie counting, I've surpassed my goal weight! No super model flat stomach though... I guess my doctor was right, some bodies just aren’t able to have one. LAME!

Oh well, now I am in maintenance mode, just keep doing what I'm doing and keep the weight off. If I gain some muscle that's fine too. :)

Oh this is a bio and not just a place for random thoughts? Excuse me while I go into my mind palace.

Hello! I enjoy what seems to be a sedentary lifestyle. I hold a 9-5 office job and my hobbies include reading, playing video games, watching anime - currently InuYasha (thanks Hulu!) - and a bunch of other things I can't think of at the moment. I have a wonderful rescue mutt that keeps me decently active and my fiancé keeps me on my toes as well. :D

I am currently following the workouts from Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. I never follow the eating portion of any workout plan, because I have an addiction to ice cream... There I said it! I have to have one serving every night! Maybe that's why I can't get that ideal stomach... Nah! :P I know - to make eating ice cream "healthier" I'll invest in an ice cream maker! That way I'll know all the ingredients or something... Okay, fine, I just really want an ice cream maker. :)

Anyways, to help me with calorie counting I prepare a Bento for lunch during the weekdays. Then on the weekends I just eat whatever I can find. I should really stop doing that and start planning my meals. But it makes the weekend fun not knowing what I am going to eat! Or at least that's what I tell myself... but really I just want to make excuses for my overeating. :/

Chocolate protein powder
I use Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate and it tastes great! I buy mine from Amazon, but you can probably find some at your local GNC store. It's only 3 carbs per scoop... I think. Smile

The rational and scientific weight loss discussion thread
In your first post you didn’t say anything about lifting weights or gaining muscle... So here goes nothing!

I think I have leaned out enough to where I am comfortable, but now I would like to start getting some definition and muscles. I wouldn't mind even putting on some weight if it meant I had muscles. Is there a proper way to do this?

Whenever I gain weight it's always around my stomach. Then I cut back on eating until I am at a comfortable weight/my stomach deflates. Will the weight eventually dissipate from my stomach and become muscle elsewhere? I finished ChaLean Extreme a week ago and am now following Jillian Michaels Body Revolution; both of which are a combination of weights and cardio. Although Jillian Michaels doesn't seem to have a lot of weight exercises yet.

Any insight would be valued. Very Happy

You can change your starting weight if you like.

Once you are on the home page... Under My Toolbox click on the link my diet and it should be the very first option.

I like taking a bubble bath when I am feeling a little sad and neglected. Do something special for yourself today. And look in the mirror and tell that person looking back at you that they are beautiful and that they can get through anything! Very Happy
