I have been trying to find a good way to share my food diary from the day before here and I am getting nowhere… best I could do is to make a PDF out of it and post a link… not sure if this would be beneficial to any of you, but it might be to me so I am starting a new category which is My Food Diary… posts can be seen HERE

Sticking to the plan still.. monitoring every calorie I intake and staying under the calorie goal.  My mood has been okay and there have been some really difficult days with cravings, mainly craving to just eat a whole bunch of anything…

Last Friday I had a big dinner.. I stayed under my calories but it was huge.. 18 oz boneless Rib-Eye, mashed potatoes, etc. but that and the weekend definitely tough… I started and eneded the weekend at 387.0 pounds.. so I need to figure out a better way to avoid food at home.

My plan this week is to stay extra focused and keep well under on the calorie limit… try to work some light exercise in at least a couple of days a week and keep pushing to that first milestone.. losing 42 pounds (10% of my starting weight).. that would put me at 374 pounds 😉  If I can get back to the green line and stay there I would hit that goal in just 8 more days!!

If you are reading this please comment.. I always feel like I am the only one reading the posts 😉  Also if you click on any ad  on this site it does help me out 😉

65.4 pounds lost in 11 months

An accomplishment to be proud of… and just a drop in the bucket… almost 1/3 of my goal…

It’s interesting that I weighed 410.0 on 6/13/11… so I lost 51.8 pounds in the last 63 days!

The majority of the weight loss (37.0 pounds to be exact) has been lost in the last 42 days (since I started on Weight Watchers) and partially due to my recent hospital stay for Gall Bladder removal.   Other than that I really don’t know what to attribute the second most dramatic weight loss I have ever had (I lost 73 pounds in one year back in 1982) to…   Continue reading

Hello!

So today is 4 weeks from when I started the Lighten Up program and when I got on the scale it show exactly 30 pounds lost!

That means 134 pounds left to lose! Very exciting and what a difference in the way I feel… I just did 30 minutes on the Eliptical… that would have been just a pipe dream a month ago… 3 months ago I woudl get winded walking 50 yards to my car! Plus my legs/feet don’t hurt like they were.

A few months ago I was not thinking about being active again, but now I am look forward to getting back on the tennis courts (something I haven’t done in almost 20 years) and other activities!
