I have, with advice from this board, developed an eating and exercise program that I have pledged to follow with NO variation for the next 9 weeks, from Saturday May 29th to Saturday August 21st. I will weigh in every Saturday, starting June 5th, and get bodyfat tested every other week.
Eating Menu, changing from low to high every third day:
1) Myoplex Lite + 1 TBSP. EFAs
2) [3 oz. chicken OR 3 oz. turkey OR 6 egg whites OR 2.5 oz. Tuna] plus 1/4 c. to 1/2 c. lentils (black, white, or kidney beans). 1 cup green fibrous vegetable
3) same as 2
4) same as 2 or Myoplex Lite
5) same as 2
6)Myoplex Lite
*** Note: Because of years of bad habits towards binging, I will not have a 'free' day.***
Exercise Program:
Do it every morning on waking. No TV beforehand and no waiting, just a cup of water and a diet coke and you're off. EVERY SINGLE DAY you must jog at least 4 miles, and do the 12/10/8/6 lifting, 2 days of upper body 2 days of lower body and 3 days of just cardio. Start marathon training program for NYC marathon on July 4.
THERE IS NO WAY THIS CANNOT WORK. WHEN I FOLLOW THIS, I AM GUARENTEED SUCCESS.
Every day, I will post 1) which menu I followed, high or low; 2) how my workout went.

Oh, and I will report the results of my weigh ins and BF measurements the day I take them.

Good LUCK!
heres my concern(sorry I always have to chime in...) Im concerned that with all your training, jogging and weight training, that such a low calories diet, epecially for a prolonged period is going to lead to unpleasant sides.
do you mind my asking what your current weight is?approx.

I'm 5' 9" and 150 pounds.
Today I ran 4 miles, and stuck to the menu, but did not properly space 2 of my meals b/c I was at Fenway watching my boys (too bad Ortiz couldn't pull off a homer at the bottom of the 9th!)
