Scaling Down…Week3

Well, I did not post last week as I did not lose any weight. Nor did I gain any so it was still a good week, but I did not really have anything to tell. I ate badly but not badly enough to gain, so let’s call it a win.

Well in week 3 I lost 5lbs. That is 5lbs in a week when I did not eat the best and half way through the week I was actually up 3 lbs. Yeah I know that was stupid to weigh in the middle of the week. I heard enough from my DW. Anyways, I feel like my body is adjusting well to the change in eating habits and is starting to do some work on it’s own. I mean I had pizza twice and a steak dinner not to mention my son’s b-day cake and ice cream. My metabolism must be up, that is the only explanation I have.

Thanks for all of your support.

Scaling Down…Week 1

Well it was an interesting week. I did get some exercise in but nothing major. I had pizza, steak, baked potato and Cold Stone ice cream this week. And guess what. Still lost 3lbs. Woohoo. I am so excited. I mean if I can still lose the weight and continue to eat like this I will be at goal in no time. I can’t imagine what will happen once I get signed up at the gym.

Thanks for everyone’s support. It is much appreciated.

Scaling down…The Beginning

Well the scale was kind this morning. Four Hundred and Sixty Five pounds. Based on my last weigh in back last summer (475 if I remember correctly) and I know I had put on a bit more, I estimate that I lost about 15lbs in about a week and a half. But like I said before, that is in the past. I am really starting at 465lbs. The experts say that 10% weight loss will make huge differences, so my mini goal is 419lbs. I have to expectations as to how long this will take. I would love to be well past this goal by the summer. Perhaps that is my real mini goal.
