Another weigh-in day rolls in and Im pleased to report 3.2 more lost pounds in a week. So far so good.

The nutritionist says my fat loss might slow down on the following weeks, but thats ok. Its not healthy to drop weight so fast anyway. Im happy with what Ive done so far and I cant wait till the day when I can fit into my old clothes and buy some new "skinnier" ones.

I got bodyfat measuring calipers as well, and I wasnt surprised to have 27% fat on me. I hope to drop that percentage by a lot, but that will only happen in time. Im so impatient tho, and like most people, I want instant gratification/results, so its hard to have to wait to see real improvements.

Current weight: 213

Goal weight (long term): 170-180

I barely made it through my workout today. I was out of energy and feeling like I couldnt go on. I may have overexerted myself a little but in the end I made it. I wonder why I was extra tired today. I need to sleep less and maybe eat more carbs or at least take an energy supplement.

My meds make me completely exhausted every day, but today was ridiculously worse. I get two days of rest now tho, so I hope I can replenish the smidgeon of energy I have every day somehow.

I need to start weight training soon too. Im getting so flabby all over. Not a good thing at all.

Well, yesterday was weigh-in day and I was pleasantly surprised to learn I had dropped another 3.6lbs. That makes a grand total of 5.6lbs lost in two weeks. So far so good, but I hope I dont get the dreaded loose skin Ive been fearing all this time.

Cheat meals are nice but they come with some added guilt. I had pizza today and I enjoyed it but I felt like I had failed for a while, until I shook it off and realized it wasnt that big a deal. As long as Im eating healthy the rest of the week, it shouldnt be too bad.

Sleepiness has embraced me, so Im off to bed. Goodnight to anyone who might some day read this.

Current weight: 216.4lbs

Goal weight (long term): 175-180lbs

Its been a crazy day, full of power irregularities and outages. Im surpriesed my computer didnt fry with the surges.

I havent weighed myself in days and Im DYING to find out if I have dropped more weight or not, and if I have, how much. Next weigh-in is on Monday. I vowed to only weigh myself once a week and not more. I dont want to fall into the trap of insecurity that weighing every day brings me.

Ive been having stomach problems from the literal "overdose" of fiber I ingest now. With all the fruits, vegetables and bran cereal on top of it all, it was obvious I was gonna have the runs or some other stomach issues. The nutritionist switched me from fruit to fruit juice, cut my veggies in half and switched me to white bread for a while to see if it helps. It did help and I no longer feel like Im a ticking time bomb. haha.

The fat around my stomach and love-handles seems to be less dense and even my gross man boobage seems to be less "full" (eeew). So I think I am still dropping weight and losing the fat as planned. Lets wait till monday and see what goes on.

Well, the nutritionist seems to think Im on my way to lose our goal amount of weight for these three weeks. I dont think so myself, but she is the one who knows more about this than me, so Ill just listen.

Ive lost 2lbs. in less than a week, but the scale is not the best way to judge your progress and I know how tricky it can be. I weighed myself today and I had almost gained back one of those lost pounds. I need to weigh myself only once a week and that should help me in feeling less insecure about the whole thing.

Current weight: 220.8

Goal weight for the first three weeks: 216

Goal weight long term: 170-180

Wish me luck!

Well, so far its been less than a week on the new diet and I already feel like I might burn out at any minute. Its so hard to keep myself motivated. But I am intending to ride this wave for as long as I can.

Ive only dropped two pounds (in less than a week), but Ive been told its not healthy to drop more than that in a week, so Im happy with that. Next time I weigh myself will be monday.

Current Weight: 220

Goal Weight: 180-170

Going from eating what you want, when you want it, to eating fruits and vegetables, low carbs and scheduled meals is not easy. Also, exercising when youre constantly fatigued from the medication is pretty damn hard. Just two weeks ago I was spending most of my days in bed and not wanting to do anything, stuffing myself with comfort foods. And now Im trying, thats all Im doing, Im trying.

I started my diet and exercise in September 2nd, 2008. Just wanted this entry as a reminder of that. I actually started exercising a week before that, but I did it more seriously from this date ahead

My starting weight was: 222.lbs

Goal is: 170-180
