So as of today, I have been going strong for a week now. Sadly, I feel like its been a whole lot longer though... Not to say I'm not having a good experience, it's just moving slowly. I think my problem lies in the fact that all the "diets" i've done in the past two years have been really jank "diets" like The Hollywood diet or the Anorexia diet.... I would lose tons of weight in like three days. (The Hollywood diet made me lose 9 lbs in 3 days... healthy? I think not.) Besides I just gained all that weight right back and then added on some more! ugh fml.
But I weighed myself tonight after a week of not doing it. I was a little disheartened at first but then I though, "hey, if I want to lose two lbs a week at least... then I'm doing great!"
After week 1, I weigh 230
Not too shabby eh? I think I can even be working harder too. I usually just do 30 minutes a day on the Elliptical, but today Mack and I did 40! AND it wasn't all that bad! So I'm still going strong, world.
Next step.... start cooking at home.
Oh and sparkpeople.com is changing my life. If you have an iphone, get it NOW. Thanks everyone that suggested it!

congratulations!! Gradual losing is definitely the best (and most permanent) way of going about this whole process!! I worked with a personal trainer for the first time a few weeks ago. I was, too, terrified, but it ended up being SO great - its so nice having someone there to kick your ass, but at the same time be a rock of support.
ReplyDeletehey man, long time no talk or anything but i'm glad to see you doing this! you seem to be pretty serious about it, one thing to remember is to just not focus on the "weight" aspect, it's more about getting in better shape isn't it? I hate the scales, but eventually you will just start feeling better. Keep it up, it looks like you have people supporting you, hopefully they can bully you into keeping up a workout routine, friends were the biggest help for me when I started to work out
ReplyDeleteGood job! The weight may seem to come off slow but you'll notice it will be dropping off before you know it. So glad you're using sparkpeople.com. Its probably my #1 tool to success. Keep up the good work!
