191... oops

191... Crap. I now know why I got fat in the first place. Willpower is very elusive to me

Oops. I'm back up to 190. I guess I splurged too much yesterday. I'm back ontrack today.

189 - still. I'll take it though. Its better than gaining. Today is a bit of a splurge day being date night.

All cash and my debit cards are getting left home. That way even if tempted I can't cheat.

189!! I did it! I'm in the 180's. All this while cheating a bit. I'm still getting sodas at work. I decided a way to stop that though.

190!!

Okay, so less than a pound until I get into the 180's! I am so excited! I had oatmeal for breakfast and have not had lunch yet. I'm not sure what I am going to do for dinner though. The wife won't be home so it's me and the little one. I want to go out for a treat for him, but I don't want to splurge on calories. It's Wednesday so that means I have 3 more days to go until I wanted to be in the 180s. Still no activity today, but I am planning on surprising the wife with some housework.

Day 4 - 191 lbs

Back down to 191 pounds. I'm hoping to keep it off. It such a demoralizing factor when you try to loose, but it goes up. Even if it is just a pound.

I did well yesterday, no soda until I got home, and even then it was just a sip of my wifes. Bad news, I had Carl's Jr. for dinner. At least it wasn't McDonalds, Charlies AND Carl's Jr. I'm hoping to be in the 180's by the first of next week. That's just two pounds. I know that I can do it. It has been forever since I saw that weight.

Here's to hoping that all this work is for some sort of positive change!

Breakfast today was an orange with a powerbar. (340 calories) and lunch was a orange with a soyjoy bar. (250 calories). Still no soda!

Day 3

This is rather dissappointing. 192.2 lbs. I was rather good yesterday, until dinner at least, totinos again. Today starts the black coffee!

Day 2!

Today hasn't been too bad overall. I've made some smarter choices and some choices that are not too smart. Still struggling with the soda, but I figured I would. I am realizing more and more that I am an emotional eater. Whenever Things get to be to much for me, I tend to start eating. Or when I'm bored. Gotta work on that. Tomorrow I am hoping to be in a better mindset. I have work and need to figure something to take with me for lunch so I am not stuck in the food court again.

Better choices everyday will get me to where I need to be.

New Message

Morning weigh in: 191. At least I didn't gain. This was my fathers day breakfast. Smarter choice: raspberry jam instead of butter on the toast. Total calories: 410 with the soda.

So, I ended up not eating the fries. Its amazing how much simply knowing what is in the food can affect your appetite. Even the sandwich tasted plain.

Dinner at the Mall

Charlies Ultimate Club Combo. Sandwhich: 630 calories Fries: 680 Calories. Soda: 200 calories. All together 1510 calories. That is almost my daily limit alone. Combined with my totinos (700) and my soda so far (700) I am way over my limit. 2910 total

Day 1 191 lbs

Today is example day. I am going to be showing all of you what I eat in a typical day. I'm starting out with a totinos pizza. God I love those. I am also having a 12 oz. can of pepsi. That is going to be the hardest part of all this. I drink way to much soda and I know that I need to cut back severly if not eliminate it all together. Looks like it's going to be black coffee for me!

On a brighter note, my weigh in this morning was 191 lbs. I know that I did not actually loose 3.4 pounds just overnight. It must mean that I am retaining water. Which in turn probably means that I need to watch my sodium intake.

Also with the new weight my bmi is 30.8 which puts me down to the 82nd percentile in weight. I know it is not much of a difference, but being out of the 90th percentile is definatly a confidence booster. It also means that I am only .8 away from having a BMI that is NOT obese! Kick ass!

First post - 195.4 lbs

A new era of responsibility is dawning in my life. It's time to admit that I'm a fattass and to do something about it. I weight 195.4 lbs, and am in the 90th percentile for weight. I have high cholesterol, and feel like crap all around. I don't blame anyone or anything for my weight. It's my fault and only I can change it. I'm not going to go the fad diet route, nor am I going to do things like HCG. It's all a waste of time and money. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
