Weight Loss Again
So, since I stopped actively working on my weight loss, I’ve gained back nearly twenty pounds out of the thirty that I had lost last year, and things that weren’t tight are now tight again. I could go on about all the excuses of why I gained back the weight,…

Weight Loss Update – Three Weeks In
So, I have to say that my weight loss is going pretty darn well. My last weigh in about two months ago was at 307 lbs. I assumed that I was probably around 310 pounds when I started tracking calories, and reducing my carbohydrates. Of course my scale was broken…

Eating Healthy: Frustration and Reaction
So as many of you might have noticed, I’ve stopped my one pound per week project. I hope to get back into losing weight, but I’m super frustrated with the idea of eating healthy. It looks like everything I enjoy is bad for me. Every diet/no-sugar/low-fat product comes with its…

OPPW: Week Eight – 294.8lbs
Despite eating well, walking lots, and even doing some light weight lifting, my weight didn’t move down very much. It can be frustrating to not see the kind of results I’m hoping for, but I continue to soldier on. At this point, I should be nearly three pounds lighter than…

OPPW: Week Seven – 295.4lbs
So, I’ve made my goal for this week, and made up for my poor showing last week. While I’m still behind where I’d like to be in this whole thing, I’m making progress and that is what matters. Some interesting things of note: I was better with eating this week.…

OPPW: Week Six – 297.4lbs
So, I didn’t hold to my previous week’s weight, I actually gained a little more than a pound. I’m thinking about joining the new gym that opened up pretty much around the corner from where I live. It doesn’t have the greatest facilities, but maybe between walking often and working…

Brutal Heat: Laziness and Bad Eating are the Result
So this week, I’m sure I’m not going to reach my weight loss goals, mostly because the weather this week has been super unusual. With the constant heat, it isn’t even like I can get out for a walk in the late evenings. I’ve never been a fan of the…

OPPW: Week Five – 296.2lbs
While I didn’t quite meet my goal this week, I came within striking distance, and the biggest thing is for me to keep seeing the scale have smaller numbers. I’m hopeful that next week, I can get to 295.0lbs, but we will see. This weekend, I am visiting family in…

Emotional Eating
It is definitely hard not to eat poorly when I feel down. This weekend was a disaster for eating, and I’m going to have to be very focused the rest of this week if I want to meet my goal. I started back on being smarter this evening for supper,…

OPPW: Week Four – 297.0lbs
So, I made my goal, and I’m one more pound down. I have to admit, I’m starting to feel a bit more energetic, and people have noticed the change in my face. I really didn’t eat well this week, nor did I do my exercises, so I’m sort of surprised…

OPPW: Week Three – 298.0lbs
So while I’m sitting here drinking some Sprite and enjoying a slice of pizza, I’m still pretty happy with how my week went. I ended up getting a fair bit of exercise and sun, eating pretty decently, and getting back on track for drinking low or zero calorie drinks. I…
