The Numbers: I weighed in Friday morning at 405.6 LBS. That means I gained 1.4 lb. since three weeks ago, and 25.8 lbs.lost overall.
Thoughts: I have been away for a while, and I would be lying if I said I was keeping track over that time. However, nobody has called me on it or wondered why I haven't been keeping up on my food log, so I guess I really am just writing this to myself. Anyway, I plan to kick up the logging-every-day thing again.

That's better
The Numbers: I weighed in this morning at 404.2 LBS. That is 4.4 lb. down from last week, and 27.2 lbs.lost overall.
Thoughts: Now that's more like it. Like I said, I know that last weeks gain was small, and those wekks are going to happen, but it sure feels so much better to report a loss rather than a gain. Onward to victory!

Last Friday's Weigh-in
The Numbers: I weighed in last Friday morning at 408.6 LBS. That means I gained 0.4 lb. from the previous week, but I have lost 23.2 lbs.lost overall.
Thoughts: It was bound to happen sooner or later. I gained weight last week. Not much, but still a slide in the wrong direction. And I know exactly what I did wrong. I gave in to easily available snacks. Remember the birthday party I attended last week. Well, the co-worker with the birthday brought all the left-over snacks into the office, such as Potato chips, Doritos, candy, and a whole bunch of 6 inch subs. I gave in too much and thus gained weight.
But that was last week, right? I can't let that get me down. I just need to get back to losing and this will just be a blip on the radar of a healthier me.

Your body is the baggage you must carry through life. The more excess the baggage, the shorter the trip.
The Numbers: I weighed in this morning at 413.6 LBS. That is 1.0 lb. down from last week, and 17.8 lbs.lost overall.
Thoughts: Kind of disappointing in light of all the exercise I did this week, but it could be lots of reasons. There's always the old "building muscle mass" excuse, or there's the fact that I exercised a lot for three days, and then yesterday was kind of relaxed, so my body started storing. Honestly, I blame the 1 1/2 bagels I ate yesterday. I also ate later at night, and then went to bed.
But in the end, there is less of me this week than there was last week so I can't complain. Onward.

It took you more than a day to put it on. It will take you more than a day to take it off.

Thoughts: Slow and steady wins the race.

I'm not losing weight. I am getting rid of it. I have no intention of finding it again.
The Numbers: I weighed in this morning at 418.0 LBS. That is 3.0 lbs. down from last week, and 13.4 lbs. lost overall.
Thoughts: So, not as much as last week, but still a good loss this week. Any loss is good loss. If there is less of me every week, I'm good with that. I remember back in Weight watchers, they said that two pounds a week was a healthy rate for most people.
But there is a part of me that still wants more. :) Being this heavy, I know that I can lose more each week. I need to get more activity in. I am walking every weekday, but I should also walk at night, or get in some other form of exercise during the week.
I'm definitely not complaining. Three pounds is fantastic!

No fooling. This blog is working for me!
The Numbers: I weighed in this morning at 421.0 LBS. That is 5.8 lbs. down from last week, and 10.4 lbs. lost overall.
Thoughts: I have to admit. I'm pretty excited about this week's results. Keeping this blog and writing things down has really given me more focus on losing weight. I've been trying to decide what to use as my ultimate goal weight, and I think I've decided on 230 lbs. That's just over 200 lbs. lost total and it puts me in a pretty healthy place. Based on the healthy BMI recommendation, my recommended weight is 136.4 lbs - 184.3 lbs. That just seems crazy and unachievable to me! I don't remember exactly what I weighed in my senior year of high school during the football season, which is when I think I was the most in shape I have ever been in my life, but I don't think I was under 200 lbs. even then. Maybe just under, but I don't think so.
It's kind of like when the bank tells you how much money you qualify for them to lend to you for a mortgage. I always think, "In what universe could I actually afford to be in that much debt?" That BMI recommendation kind of feels like that. I was talking to a buddy at work about that, and we agreed that we are never going to be ultra skinny guys. However, I can definitely get to a place where I am healthy and able to be active and do the things I want to do, where I can buy clothes in a regular store and not use a seat belt extension on an airplane, where I can feel good and even look good. That I can do. And I think 230 lbs. would be a great place to achieve.
And who knows? Maybe once I'm there, I will want to go further, but I will stick with 230 as my long term goal. In the short term, I would just love to get under 400, so I'm going to focus on that. And then 350 and 300 and so forth. Good times ahead! Journey On!

First Official Public Weigh-In
The Numbers: I weighed in this morning at 426.8 LBS. That is 2.8 lbs. down from last week, and 4.6 lbs. lost overall.
Thoughts: I didn't make the best food choices in Vegas, but I did cut down. We generally only had only about two meals a day; and didn't have desserts. For example, we went to Outback Steakhouse for a late lunch. We shared a Bloomin' Onion, but then I just had a bowl of soup instead of a steak with potatoes, etc. It also helped that we were walking everywhere and I didn't want all that food sitting in the pit of my stomach while walking, a lesson I learned the previous day.

The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!
I've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. My weight goes up, and I give in. My fat assimilates entire pant sizes, and I do nothing. Not again.
Two weeks ago, I reached the highest weight that I have ever recorded: 431.4 LBS That is appalling!!!! I tried to be better the next week, and I did lose two pounds. But I can do better than that. One thing about being this fat, the weight does come off faster at first.
I forgot to weigh in this morning, but will do so first thing tomorrow. I am hoping all of the walking I did in Vegas this week will pay off. I did try to eat less as well, having only two meals most days. We'll see.
