Hey all! I thought to "weigh in" here. Horrible pun I know. Right now my weight fluctuates between 195-200. Being in the Army, I get a fair amount of exercise but still do some on my own. My hurdle is about to start. I tore some cartilage in my left knee during my last deployment. I go in for surgery to repair a week from Monday. I had the surgery previously on the right side for the same issue. However, I put on nearly 20 lbs because not being able to do cardio for quite awhile.
I'm trying a couple of things this time around. As much as I love a good steak, I'm cutting out red meat. I've decide to try a pescatarian (vegetarian but with fish) diet. I've been trying out some of the meat substitutes and not all of them are bad. Some of them down right suck though. Also, I'm sticking to tea, water, and black coffee for drinks. I do have the occasional Coke Zero to take the craving away. It seems to be working. I've lost a couple of pounds this week. However, it could just be water or my normal flux. Best of luck to you all and keep your fingers crossed for me.
