Lost 50 lbs in 7 weeks...

And went from a size 3x to a size XL. At ten weeks now, my size 14's are hanging. It's been a size every ten days. The thrift shoppe has been very kind to me.

I attribute my success to meticulous documentation of my intake on an excel sheet, so I can see my patterns and match them to my progress.

Congrats your doing great and I agree writing done what you are eating is important and shopping at the thrift store is key and reasonable. Keep up the great work.

Would you be willing to share your spreadsheet so that I can see what you are doing to be so successful. That is fantastic! I have only lost 35 in 8 weeks.

My spreadsheet looks a lot like this one http://proteinartist.com/60-gram-protein-menus/ but it has the added column of the calories. I also have on Sheet1 a list of all the foods I typically eat. I refer to it as my 'inventory' and instead of looking in the fridge to see what I should eat next, I go by what is mising still in my daily menu, and find a matching number (6 grams missing, 9 grams missing, etc.) on the food list. Then, I can copy/paste it straight into my menu, and the calculation is done.
