lose 100 pounds

So, my stats are really good, and I am so proud to type them up!

Starting Weight: 278
Current weight: 217.5
Goal weight: 150
Lost to date: 60.5 lbs

Next thing you know, you’ll ask me how I’m doing it, this is how…

Breakfast: 1/4 cup egg beaters scrambled with a veggie sausage patty, topped with some cheese and salsa. Sometimes I make it into a wrap with lo-cal tortillas

Snack: 1/2 a LaraBar

Lunch: Can of soup

Dinner: Whatever I make that night

And I never neglect to take my vitamins and calcium.

Yeah…

I guess it’s been a while since I’ve updated my goal. I don’t have much to share, except my stats at the moment:

Starting Weight: 278
Current weight: 220.5
Goal weight: 150
Lost to date: 57.5 lbs

Ok, so I gave in to my curiosity and weighed myself. I’m at 225 again, I guess that means I’m back to where I was last year. Hey, at least I didn’t gain all of it back.

I look thinner than last year though, because I’ve been exercising and riding the bike, so I’ve lost more inches this year.

My only gripe is the loose skin, that really,really blows. I can see it hanging around my upper arms, and bunching up around my stomach, it grosses me out. I don’t think any amount of exercise is going to tone that up.

I’ve been going through some rough times, I broke up with my life partner and I haven’t had the time, nor the desire to weigh myself. I do know that I’m exercising more, I bought a bike and I go on plenty of bike rides, I bought a gym membership, which I’m trying to make good use of.

I wear a very loose size 18 pants, and the XL shirts are a tad big on me as well. I don’t know what the pounds lost were, so I won’t even go there.

All I know is, I look better than I have in ages.

I had a Doctor’s appointment, and not surprisingly, I weighed 234 still. I knew that was coming, but even as I was stepping on the scale, I kept praying to have at least lost another pound. Anything , even a half a pound less than what I am right now would make me happy because that would mean that all this effort is not just wasted…

I look so big again, here I am in Atlantic City last weekend, I was probably the only person around not wearing a bathing suit…

Ok, I have no excuse, I have gained a lot of weight. My sleeping habits have changed, and I find myself eating well into the night, and then going to bed at 1 or 2am. I’ve been trying to change this, but I’ve always been a night owl and it’s hard to go to bed at 10pm like everyone else.

I’m at 234.5, which is a 15 pounds gained back, for those who haven’t read my posts before. Every time I lose the extra weight I’ve gained, I go back to my old habits and gain some of it back.

I’m a stress eater, that’s no secret, so I’ve started knitting again, that gives me something to do with my hands, and to do besides stuffing my face like there’s no tomorrow.

This battle is not over, I am not the type to give up, so my girlfriend and I have come up with “salad week”. We eat salads in every form for the next two weeks. Salad sounds boring, but not the way I make them, hell, you can even improvise and make my own croutons and salad dressings.

So far this week, I’ve dropped half a pound, and I always weigh myself on a full stomach, at the end of the day. They say your true weight is in the morning, naked after you pee, before you drink or eat anything. REALLY? I don’t know anyone who walks around naked all day without eating or drinking anything.

To me, my true weight is at the end of the day, after I’ve stuffed myself and drank 10 glasses of water. Of course I could weigh myself in the morning like everyone else, and I’d probably be 5 pounds lighter, but that feels like cheating.

Anywho, this is where I am right now:

Starting Weight: 278
Current weight: 234.5
Goal weight: 150
Lost to date: 43.5 lbs
Pounds lost and gained back: 15

I don’t know what’s going on, I got on the scale today and I’m 10 lbs. heavier than last time I weighed myself. I’m really upset, because after all that hard work, I fuck it up and gain weight again.

It’s not PMS weight gain, it’s not water retention, it’s actual weight gain and I’m pissed at myself. My jeans are getting tighter, my shirts show a little bulge around the waist area, my thighs are kinda rubbing together again.

I need to stop this, time to take drastic action: No more carbs until I lose those 10 pounds.

So, as of today, high protein and vegetable foods for me. NO MORE CARBS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

Starting Weight: 278
Current weight: 230
Goal weight: 150
Lost to date: 48 lbs

As many of you know, I’ve been doing this for quite a while, I started out at 278 and I’m at 220 right now, even though I’ve been at the same weight for a few months, I am losing inches like crazy. I am now officially a size 18 pants, and XL shirt.

I look so much better compared to what I used to look like before, I’ll upload pictures one of these days. My goal for this year is to get under 200. I can do it, I know I can.

So, I weighed myself again today, and I think I’m ready to go jump off a cliff. I am officially 10 lbs. heavier than a month ago. I’m not sure whether it’s partly weight gain because I’m PMS-ing or my true weight.

I was feeling so good this morning, now I feel like a fat lazy slob, which makes me want to go have some fast food because I’ve already gained 10 lbs. anyways. What’s a slice of pizza hut pizza and some breadsticks going to do at this point?

Well, I’m sad to say that I’ve gained 5 lbs from the 50+ that I had lost. Sometimes it’s hard to maintain, specially when you see all the progress you’ve made and think that one more cookie/serving of ice cream/slice of bread is not going to hurt you. It does, it adds up over time and you end up gaining back the weight that you lost.

Anyways, I’m back to the gym, everyday until I lose the weight I’ve gained back and then some.
