Hey everyone,
So, I've finally done it. I've cut out regular pop from my diet. I'm still consuming diet pop which has carbonated water and caffeine, but I'm not consuming those regular calories. I'm down to 305.1 lbs, but I need to exercise more because I am definitely lacking in that area. I'm still pretty good about food. I don't eat that much per meal, and I, largely, don't snack. Finally, I still don't eat after 8 PM, and I always eat a good breakfast. I have to say that this really makes me hopeful. One continued difference in my diet is my consumption of meat. Probably, I consume three servings of meat a day which is still a lot, but I want that protein to maintain my muscle mass. Finally, this morning, I weighed in at 305.1 lbs, and I'm almost back to what I weighed three weeks ago. It wasn't even hard. That's the awesome thing. There is hope for weight loss.

Hey everyone,
I missed last week and not for a good reason. I fell off the wagon. My exercising has largely stopped, and I'm eating too much again. However, I haven't gained much weight. My weight yesterday was 309.2 lbs which is fairly close to my accurate weight. This is a turning point for me however. Will I get back onto the wagon or won't I? I know this post is short, but you'll find out next week. Good luck to other people who are trying to lose some pounds.

Hey everyone,
So, I actually weighed myself on Friday, and I was 305.0lbs. The weight loss continues, but I'm becoming less consistent with my running and habits. I'm worried that I'm going to fall off the wagon soon, and I can't allow that happen. Personally, I think I need to get out of the house for a while and shake things up. Maybe I should move my exercise outside while I still can. Treadmills are incredibly monotonous, and they aren't helping me out. Pop is still an issue, but I'm becoming sick of it. The really good thing is that, when I don't eat well, I feel terrible, and I never want to eat consistently like that again. The final thing is to eat more fruits and vegetables and possibly drink more alcohol on a regular basis. Other than that, the weight loss journey continues.

Hey everyone,
I've followed my diet with a strict adherence, but I need to drink less pop still and eat more vegetables. I'm doing better with the pop situation, but I still consume way too much. My running has also fallen off a little bit (I missed two days) but that will bounce back soon enough. Other than those issues, I am steadily losing weight and quickly approaching 300 lbs. I know that's still a lot, but it's been over four years since I've weighed less than that. One other thing, I need to lift more weights and consume more protein. I don't feel like I've lost muscle mass, but it's inevitable. I need to start hitting the local weight room and do a half hour workout three days a week. However, eating less, not eating after 8, and focusing on eating better have yielded an awesome result. When I stepped on the scale this morning, I weighed 307.7 lbs. Actually, I had weighed quite a bit less yesterday, but I didn't run or walk yesterday. This is still an excellent loss, and I really can't wait until that 3 is a 2.

Hey all,
Today was my traditional weigh in, and I thought I would actually weigh a little more this week. However, I weighed 311.6, and, while it is only 0.2 lbs, it is an improvement. I actually weighed 310.8 on Friday morning, but I ate at a Mongolian grill that night (it's my weakness). This bumped my weight up a little, but I still weigh less. My body fat percentage continues to drop, and I'm still pretty good with how much and what I eat. I've been running, but my parents treadmill broke. I didn't run yesterday (I maybe would have weighed less if I had). Now, I'm going to move to the high school where I can lift weights and run in a warm environment. I'm guessing that next week I will have another big dropoff. The only hurdle that's left for me is pop. It's still a part of my diet, and it has to go. It's not good for my teeth, bones, or body. However, I routinely pass up other unhealthy foods such as chips, candy bars, or candy. I'm definitely on the path to health. Hopefully, by next fall, I will weigh 250lbs or less.

Hey all,
I weighed myself this morning and found that I had lost some weight over this previous week. Running, some weights, and healthy eating were my continued strategies. However, I'm still drinking pop, and it has to go. Because it's been cold, I've been running on my parent's treadmill where I sweat more than I would outside. This may be why I've lost so much weight this week. There is also another problem. I haven't eaten as many vegetables this week as I usually do, but I didn't eat much meat either. More processed foods were consumed by me, so I have to work on that. Still, I''m just eating less food at every meal, and I try not to consume any calories after 8 PM. The strategy is still working. Just for the record, I've ran 24 miles this week. So, I suppose you're wondering how much weight I've lost. Well, this morning, I weighed in at 311.8 lbs. My weight last week was 319.3lbs, but I felt I was water heavy and thought that maybe 315 or 316 was closer. That said, I'm losing about three pounds a week which is the max weight loss that anyone should lose in a week. Honestly, two pounds a week would be better, but I weigh so much that it isn't difficult for me to lose 3 pounds a week. I expect this rate of weight loss to lessen once I hit 280 or so. Any suggestions or questions?

Hey all,
For the first time, I have not lost weight. Today, I weighed 319.3 lbs. It's no wonder why I didn't drop any weight this week. I ate out for supper twice, and I also went to a wedding last night where I ate a lot and drank some beer. Also, I am still drinking pop, but I am going to quick it cold turkey tomorrow or at least drop down a lot (I'm still having trouble with this). However, while the scale doesn't say that I've lost weight, I still feel like my stomach is smaller, and I'm maintaining my muscle mass well with weight lifting. Also, I don't think I consumed as much vegetables as I normally would which didn't help either. My diet is still a lot healthier than it used to be, and, also, it's okay to wander from the a lifestyle change once in a while as a reward or for situations that are not common. However, if I don't lose weight this week, I need to re-evaluate my intake and make some changes. With this combination of diet, exercise, and weight-lifting, I think this system is foolproof.
