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, 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 [...]

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 [...]

So, I know No One Cares What I had for Lunch, but since it’s new and fresh, and I feel like sharing, I’m gonna.  Deal.
Lunch today:

Nutrisystem Chicken Noodle Soup
1 oz. of beef jerky
a banana

Pretty tasty actually.  I also tried Brandy’s Red Beans and Rice, and it wasn’t bad – I’d consider eating that for lunch [...]

So, in order to work on my goal of losing 50 lbs., I have started on a new diet today.  Brandy and I are trying the Nutrisystem diet.  I’m hoping that it will enable me to lose the weight that I need.
For Breakfast, I’m having:

Nutrisystem Apple Strudel Bar
Yoplait Low-fat Yogurt
3/4 cup Blueberries

Yummy.

So, last Monday I started on a weight loss program to shed some L-B’s.  I believe that before I started, I weighed over 340 lbs, and today I am down to 333.  Not bad for 1 week, even though a lot of that was water weight.   In order to make things a little easier and [...]
