Now this is more like it. When I weighed myself this morning, I am already down to 289lbs. Woot!! That’s 9.5lbs gone since I started last Friday. That’s more than a pound a day which is just awesome! The funny thing is that I ate more than I should of yesterday - soup, fish, cereal, cheese, and fruits. I only exercised for about 15 minutes too.

I can’t wait until I lose more pounds that actually make it noticeable. It’s more like 40+ pounds until someone actually says, “Hey, did you lose weight?” LOL! I can’t wait for that day. hahahaha

Stats:
lost lbs: 9.5 so far
current: 289 lbs
start weight: 298.5 lbs
feelings: energetic

Day 6 of My Diet

So I got not really the results I was looking for when I weighed myself this morning. I gained half of a pound. I think that was due to me eating two bowls of homemade chili. I just couldn’t get enough of it!! Anyways, half a pound is not a big issue for me.

On a side note, I’ve been working some foods back into my diet. Of course I am eating very small portions, but I am getting a taste of these yummy foods. I’ve been working out for about an hour each night to burn off some calories I’ve collected during the day. Hopefully, it’ll pay off.

Stats:
lost lbs: 7.5 so far
current: 291 lbs
start weight: 298.5 lbs
feelings: a little sleepy

Day 5 of My Diet

So it’s only been five days since I started my diet and I have already lost a total of 8lbs. That is just wonderful!! I’m still eating and drinking just not what I used to before. I’m eating only fruits and vegetables. I do occasionally have a piece of meat, cereal, and even a slice of pizza. I’m also only drinking water. I’ve been working out for 30+ minutes each day too! I can’t forget to mention that I’m also taking daily vitamins because those are essential.

I’m so proud of myself so far. I still can’t believe the pounds are shedding off of me. I’m looking forward to seeing that number go down each and every day. Hopefully I’ll be able to reach my goal weight of 200lbs before the start of the school year. Once I reach that weight, I’ll set a new goal weight until I’m down to the average weight of a person my age. That would be my dream come true since I’ve always been overweight my entire life.

Stats:
lost lbs: 8.0 so far
current: 290.5 lbs
start weight: 298.5 lbs
feelings: super happy!!

Day 4 of My Diet

I am so proud of myself. I have lost another pound! Woot!! That makes it 5.5lbs in just three days! Not bad at all!! I was feeling kind of hungry last night and somewhat this morning. I’ll probably have a plum and some water before heading into the shower. I’m just so damn excited that I’m actually losing weight.

I’m also in love with the glider I bought because I’m easily doing my 30 minutes of exercise each day without having to do much but glide. My legs and arms do hurt the next day, but that’s fine by me. As long as the weight is coming off, I’m happy.

Stats:
lost lbs: 5.5 so far
current: 293.0 lbs
start weight: 298.5 lbs
feelings: a little hungry but too happy

Day 3 of My Diet

Wow…I can’t believe it’s day 3 already!! Man, time really does fly by. As I mentioned yesterday, I was more determined than ever to lose weight. I even went to the mall to find some exercise equipment. I ended up buying the Tony Little’s Gazelle Edge Glider. It’s awesome! It keeps track of things like time, speed, distance, pulse, and even how many calories you have burned.

I was using it while I was watching tv. It’s so perfect! Instead of sitting on the couch, I’m actually working many parts of my body at once. It works your hips, thighs, upper arms, stomach and so much more body areas. Plus, when it’s not in use, you can fold it up and store it in a closet. Pretty sweet! It only cost $159.96(CDN) at Wal-Mart. Not bad at all for a product that is so easy to use.

On other news, I noticed that each day I’m heading to bed really early. Before I started my diet, I was getting about five hours of sleep. I was going to bed at 3-4am and getting up between 9-10am. Not much time to energize. Now it’s completely different. I have been going to bed between 10-11pm and then getting up at 9-10am. It’s really great since it’s more time to sleep, which we all know you are suppose to get at least 8hrs of sleep per night.

So today I weighed myself again. I lost one pound. That is great because that’s what I aimed at losing each day. Of course the more I lose in a day is also great too. But one pound is good enough for me. I am seriously very happy at the sight of pounds dropping. Like I said in my previous posts, I have never had pounds drop because they always went up instead. Hopefully with the new glider I bought, I’ll be getting my daily exercise everyday which will hopefully help me to stay healthy and lose weight. So the image on the side is my official weigh-in today.

Stats:
lost lbs: 4.5 so far
current: 294.0 lbs
start weight: 298.5 lbs
feelings: happy, pumped up, legs and arms hurt from using the glider for 30 minutes
