Lose 150 pounds

I haven’t written in a long time because I was diagnosed with cancer and have been really sick for a while. Monday I weighed in at 237 and I haven’t even started chemo yet. I was really sick for a while because I couldn’t eat for nearly 3 weeks in October. Funny thing is I am eating pretty much whatever I want to now and I am still losing a little bit each week. They feel confident they removed all the cancer with surgery but I will have a couple of preventative rounds of chemo after the 1st of the year. 54 pounds off…96 to go…

I’m 19, 6’2 and weigh 360lbs. I’ve always been overweight. But I was lucky to have the love of a good woman, She joined the navy, and i stayed here to go to school and look after my father. Me and her were together for 5 years, when honestly out of the blue she told me “I dont need you, I could never be happy with you, content at most.” I mean a months went by before that and she i hadnt seen her, i found out she came down and visited her family and didnt even tell me she came. That ended up throwing me so far into depression i couldn’t find my way out. I refused to leave my room, only to eat, shower, and use the restroom. And honestly a few days ago i woke up, disgusted with myself. So Ive decided to go out and change my life. I have to move on. Ive been on my diet for 3 days now. I mean thats nothing compared to everyone else here, but you know what they say. A journey of a thousand miles Begins with a single step. It might take, months, but more likely years, but I’ll catch up with you guys at the finish line, And God willing, there will be a whole new me.

I just started trying again to lose 150lbs. 10 years ago I went from 300 lbs down to 200lbs in about 9 monthes. Currently I am 310lbs and I can’t stand the way I look, feel, or the way clothes fit. I am doing 30 min. of cardio a day and cutting out processed carbs and food amounts in general. I am addicted to MT. DEW and have only had one this week. Lets hope for the best.

I started out needing to lose 150 pounds. The first 25 came off very easily. then I got caught in a cycle of gaining and losing the same 5-8 pounds for about a year. Well right now I have 39 of those 150 pounds gone (weigh 252 this morning)and starting a gym today. I have several goals.
245 = no longer morbidly obese
214 = no longer severely obese
184 = no longer obese
153 = no longer overweight
141 = goal weight BMI 22.9
If I stick with it I should have no problem achieving the no longer obese goal by my 30th birthday. The no longer overweight goal would be more of a challenge by then and most likely I will fall between the two. That is my major thing though. I do NOT want to be an obese 30 year old. That is what is going to motivate me to succeed.

Things have been going great this past week. I have been keeping up with my diet. I am eating anywhere between 1500-1700 a day. I walk at the local highschool track. Today I did 6 laps and actually ran one of them. I ran 1/2 of a lap the other day. I am definately working hard on this. I am determined to lose the weight this time. I am tired of all this extra weight. I am ready to be healthy and hot in my 20s. I can’t wait to walk tomorrow.

www.fifteenandcounting.webs.com This is the new site I started a couple months ago. It is just a place to help inspire others and track my progress. I can’t wait until we have lots of members so we can share our tips.

Have a great week everyone!

I have been eating well and walking lately. I have found a place to walk when I am visiting family in the country. They have a great track at the highschool. I started walking last night an went again this morning with my brother. I will go again this evening. I have been eating healthy, avoiding starches for the most part. Usually, bread, crackers, chips, etc. are my go to snacks, so it has been hard. I am also trying to limit cheese. That is another one of my dieting downfalls. Overall, I have been feeling pretty great. I can’t wait to check my progress on Sunday! Have a great weekend everyone!

My goal is to lose 10-12 pounds a month. I will be starting my new exercise regimen this week. No more beef!! No high carbs. Vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes with a supplement of baked fish and/or chicken. God willing, let me make it this time!

Ok, so I have been on 43things with this goal for a while and I’ve gotta say.. I have not succeeded. I am not giving up, though. Actually, I am trying new approaches. I am going to get healthy. I am going to lose 150lbs or more. I need to acheive this goal.
I printed out an application for The Biggest Loser today, but decided that I had a plan that was more my style. I will lose weight publicly on my own. I signed up for my own site www.fifteenandcounting.webs.com . I will be posting on it sort of like I do here, but more often. I have a forum section where people can discuss, you can be a member on the site and see pictures(which I have yet to upload.. maybe this week. If enough people check it out, I will get my own domain.
I really think this is a great way to put that little extra pressure that I need to motivate myself. It will also let me help others which is something that I really enjoy doing.
Everything that I put out there will be completely honest. If I go out and eat 5 plates at a buffet, you will know. If I run a marathon, you will know. Please let others know if they are on the same page. I will try my best to make this a great resource for others. Hopefully we can make this something incredible while bettering ourselves as well.

I haven’t quit trying to lose weight but it has been soooooooooo hard! After much consideration with my family and my doctor I have decided to get a lap-band. After months of fighting it out with my insurance company, I am FINALLY having surgery in one week!!! I am so excited and so scared at the same time :) I feel like I have one week till my life changes (for the better!) forever. I’m ready – I quit smoking which was a requirement for the surgery, and I feel great! I will try to update as I go on this new adventure. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers for the next couple of weeks!
