Weight today — 303 lbs.  This is just short of my first goal, which is 40 lbs lost.  I’ve stagnated.  I’m not at a plateau, as I’m not actively trying to lose more weight.  I’ve been hovering around this for several weeks now.  I stopped Nutrisystem, just because I can’t stand it any more.   It [...]

This week begins the 6th week of my diet, and I’m proud to say that I’m now 27 pounds lighter than when I started!  I’m now at 313 lbs.  This is the smallest I’ve been in years!   Today I went through my pants and separated them into 5 categories.  Too big (started a pile of [...]

Starting my 4th week of the new diet.  Things are going pretty well.  Hit a plateau this week which was a bummer, but it made it up by the end of the week.  Went out to dinner on Saturday (Ruby Tuesday’s), didn’t go nutso, and also didn’t fall off the wagon!   We’ve decided to go [...]

Stepped on the scale this morning…
322.8, which brings me up to 17.2 lbs. lost in two weeks!   Hopefully things will keep going this fast!   I’ve also been doing the Wii Fit just about every day, so I’m sure that’s helping as well.

So, on my birthday, I went skiing and hurt my arm.  Today, I finally went to the doc, and he said that it was a torn rotator cuff.  I had talked with a friend before, and he offered that as a possibility.  It’s hurting less these days, but I might have to take my friend [...]

So, I started my new diet last week, and now it’s time to step on the scale….  drum roll please…..
330.2!
That means I’ve lost 9.8 lbs!  Not bad for one week!  I know that some of that is water weight, and it will slow down, but still!   This week I have been very energetic, even though [...]

So, one of my gifts for Christmas from my wife was a Wii Fit.  The problem is, there’s a weight limit of 330 lbs.  Unfortunately this is slightly lower than I was at Christmas.  I haven’t posted any weight loss numbers yet, but I think I’ll be able to play with it this weekend. [...]

So, I think I might have broken my arm last weekend.  It still hurts to raise it out sideways.  I made a Dr’s appt to have him X-ray to find out.  Even if I did fracture it, they wouldn’t be casting it (just dealt with this a couple of months ago with Amelia), but I [...]

So, last Sunday I went skiing with Brandy, the kids, and Brandy’s mom.  This was our second day of the season, and we decided to try a little more difficult runs than we would normally do.  Also, it was very cold (-8 when we got there, but warmed up to a balmy 10).  This made [...]

Nutrisystem Lasagne with Meat Sauce
1/2 corn
1/2 green beans
1/4 whole pumpkin seeds
1 slice of bread
1 small orange

I’m pretty full.  The lasagne tasted better than I feared it would (maybe a slight step down from Stouffer’s frozen lasagne)  I’m happy.  This means that I can deal with the food and be successful.  Brandy made the mistake of [...]
