This week’s episode showed the contestants returning home for a 5-day “break” with their family and friends. The blue team stayed strong, eating healthy and working out as if they were still on the ranch. But the train wreck that is the black team didn’t fare so well. While the cameras only focused on Paul’s wings & cola binge, I suspect the other black team players weren’t so innocent either. Holier-than-thou Brittany claimed she only ate a small piece of pizza and a cookie (that she didn’t even like), yet she only managed to lose 3lbs.. Even with Paul’s overeating, he still managed to pull off a 5lbs loss!

So why vote off the “biggest loser” of the black team? Because the black team is stupid. They just gave $250K to someone on the blue team.. My money’s on Jay or Mark to win the game!

I’m getting married on March 20th. And in the next month, I’m determined to lose as much weight as possible.. Those wedding wedding pictures will be with us forever, so I’d prefer to look as good as possible!

To keep me motivated, I’m going to chronical my weight-loss journey on here. It won’t be easy, but I’m confident that I can drop 15-20 pounds in that time. In the past, I’ve struggled with losing weight because of my fiancee’s bad influence. But she’s equally motivated this time around, and together I think we can shed some serious weight in time for the wedding.

Stay tuned and see how it all turns out.

Starting Weight: 205.5lbs

When it comes to losing weight, everyone’s in search of a magic bullet. But don’t fall for the hype. Unfortunately, there’s no short-term fix for long lasting weight loss.

So learn to identify these six red flags:

1. Diets that promote or promise drastic weight loss.

When you start a diet, you can potentially drop a lot of weight during the first two weeks (some of which will be water weight). However, if you lose more than two pounds per week in the weeks that follow, you run the risk of losing “muscle mass,” and your metabolism will slow down in response. That’s why true health experts advocate losing weight slowly and gradually - so you melt away fat while sparing precious muscle.

2. Diets that claim to work because of special supplements, creams, or potions - no diet or exercise required!

Or diets that make you buy mega supplements in order to follow the program. If it sounds too good to be true, it is!

3. Diets that differ entirely from the way you currently eat (or like to eat).

If a plan is incompatible with your lifestyle, chances are slim you’ll stick with it.

4. Diets that are less than 1,000 calories.

Too difficult to sustain and can often leave you cranky, irritable, and with a bad headache. Not to mention hungry and lethargic.

5. Diets that claim they are effortless.

There’s no such animal. Losing weight takes focus and effort. Period.

6. Diets that cut out entire food groups, or focus on only a few foods.

Not realistic for the long haul; the sign of a plan you’re soon to go off.

From Joy’s Healthy Bite

You wouldn’t expect these habits to make you fat – but they do.

1. Staying Up Late

The opposite would seem to make sense: If you stay up late, you burn more calories. Burn more calories, burn more fat.

Right?

Unfortunately, staying up late can set off a multi-pronged attack on your body composition.

First, sleep is vital for recovery. If you don’t get enough sleep, your body won’t build as much muscle mass – no matter how much time you spend in the gym. Less muscle mass = less fat burning power. Next, if you are sleep-deprived, you increase levels of the stress hormone “cortisol.” The connection between stress/cortisol and obesity is well established, but it gets worse. A recent study (Epel, Yale) shows that cortisol related fat storage tends to be around the vital organs – the worst possible place to store fat in your body.

If that’s not enough, lack of sleep is linked with glucose intolerance (diabetes), lower Growth Hormone levels, a weakened immune system, low energy, and more …

Get a full night’s sleep (7 to 9 hours), but make sure your place of rest is peaceful and pitch dark. Your natural sleep hormone, melatonin, is suppressed when there is too much light.

2. Skipping Breakfast

Many people skip breakfast thinking it will help them to lose weight.

“Fewer calories in – more fat burned.”

The reality is that skipping breakfast actually lowers your metabolism so that at your next meal you’ll tend to overeat. To make it worse, the food you eat on a lowered metabolism is more likely to be stored as fat.

3. Prescription Drugs

Many of the drugs you are prescribed increase appetite, cause edema, or slow our metabolism. That’s a recipe for getting, and looking, fatter.

The most commonly used drugs that have these effects are oral contraceptives, many anti-depressants, and estrogen replacements.

Check with your doctor to see about finding suitable alternatives that won’t make you fat.

Follow these 7 steps, and you could melt 5-8 pounds in two weeks:

1) A FISTFUL OF PROTEIN 3X A DAY
Aim for 4 to 6 ounces (about the size of your fist) of lean protein (chicken, fish, or egg whites) at every meal. In one study, people who got 30% of their day’s calories from protein ate 441 fewer calories than people who ate a 15% protein diet!

2) YOUR WEIGHT IN WATER
Take your body weight and divide it in half. Then drink that many ounces of water each day. Why? The rate at which you burn calories drops when you’re dehydrated.

3) THE SAFE METABOLISM BOOSTER
Substitute green tea for coffee. Compounds in it called catechins (the same stuff that’s in the calorie-burning soda Enviga) are believed to increaase your metabolism.

4) FRUITS AND VEGGIES
Celery, spinach, tomatoes, lettuce, peaches, strawberries, and cantaloupes are at least 90% water, so they’ll help flush out your system and keep you hydrated. There’s nothing wrong with other fruits and vegetables, as even relatively dry bananas (76% water) are more hydrating than whole-wheat bread (35%) or almonds (7%).

5) SKIP THE NIGHTCAP
Your body treats alcohol as a toxin, so your liver processes alcohol calories before all others in an attempt to clean bad stuff from your bloodstream. As a result, the other calories you’ve gotten from food are more likely to be stored as fat.

6) NIX THE MILK AND CHEESE
Most women have some sort of lactose sensitivity, which means they get bloated from even small amounts of dairy products. Don’t nix calcium altogether; Take a supplement and get the nutrient from foods such as salmon and almonds.

7) SAY NO TO WHEAT
Even high-fiber whole-wheat or multi-grain bread can contribute to bloating. Feed your carb cravings with sweet potatoes, brown or wild rice, and wheat-free cereals.
