Yup, you heard me right. I am officially down 15.5lbs when I weighed in this morning. It’s great to know that I’ve lost pounds because I never have in my entire life. I just hope that I’ll get down to 200lbs sometime early next year.

So now I weigh 283lbs. I know, I know…still a lot for someone by age, but I’m working hard on reducing that number.

Weird things happened…what are the odds?

Well, after venting out my frustrations, I decided to sit down and watch an episode of Oprah that I recorded but didn’t watch yet. It had the guy Dr. Oz on it, and low and behold…the episode was about weight loss. Weird how that happened since I don’t know what the episodes are about when I record them since my satellite automatically has it programmed to record.

Anyways…now that I’m thinking about it, another weird thing happened when I turned on the tv. When I turned on the tv, the channel was on the shopping network, and it was talking about weight loss products. That’s so weird because no one in my house watches the shopping network, yet the tv was left on that channel. What’s even weirder is that I was the last one to watch tv and I know for a fact I didn’t leave it on that channel! I don’t know about you, but I take things as symbols to something. In this case, a symbol for me to continue with my weight loss even though I have problems with my family. Check. That’s the only logically explanation in regards to these symbols. What are the odds that those two symbols happen right after I vent about getting off track and losing focus? Slim to none I think.

So here I am. A bright new morning and a new attitude. I decided to keep going with my weight loss and even weighed myself this morning. Somehow, I lost 4lbs since the last time I weighed myself, which was July 26 when I weighed 288lbs. Now I’m happy to report I’m down to 284lbs which is 14.5lbs lost since I first weighed in at 298.5lbs. WOOT!!!

I started this morning with a nice healthy breakfast consisting of a bowl of fresh strawberries, a bowl of Kellogg’s All Bran; Bran Flakes cereal, and a bottle of natural spring water. Yummy!! It definitely beats the eggo waffles with cream cheese that I’ve been having.

I’m looking forward on being back on track and seeing the numbers go down. GO ME!! lmao

Day 16 of My Diet

I know I skipped a few days of not posting about my day and weight progress, but they just weren’t changing. In fact, it just kept bouncing back and forth. So I decided that I’ll update when a good change has occurred, such like today. I can proudly say that I am down to 285.5lbs from the 298.5lbs I weighed in when I started. I have lost a total of 13lbs since June 8th!! Woot!!

One thing that is driving me up the wall is my parents are always asking me what I want to eat for supper, how much do I want, etc etc. It’s driving me crazy because they are asking me if I want more than one hamburger (for example). Um…no thanks, just one is good enough–without the bread too!! Hahaha!

Oh ya, I also wanted to thank all of you who have been posting comments of encouragement. It really means a lot to me when I come across a new comment congratulating me on how much I lost so far. Never in a million years would I imagine that I could lose weight by making small changes in my lifestyle. It’s really an eye opener for me.

Stats:
lost lbs: 13 so far
current: 285.5 lbs
start weight: 298.5 lbs
feelings: happy that it’s coming off

Wow, it’s almost been two weeks since I started my diet on June 8th. I’ve had amazing results so far. I have lost a total of 10lbs!!! Woot!! I know, exciting news!! Hahaha

I am even going to treat myself to something special today. I’m going to the salon to get my hair done. Hopefully they do eyebrows too because I need to get mine done asap. It’s nice to see the pounds shedding off. I just can’t wait until I shed some inches off of my waist, bust, etc. Then I’ll be able to buy a different size of clothing. LOL!

Stats:
lost lbs: 10 so far
current: 288.5 lbs
start weight: 298.5 lbs
feelings: determined

I am currently at 290lbs. I would like to see it in the sixties instead of still a high number. That’s all I’m saying right now because I don’t feel like rewriting everything. I am so angry right now!!
