Week 5

Well I didn't do as bad as I thought especially with eating out for my birthday.  I am down another -1.4lbs and weigh 237.    I also did start going to The Long Island Weight Loss Institute, NY.  I just felt I needed a little more direction and understanding to help me with my weight loss journey.  I am on a modified plan which is a protein shake for breakfast and lunch and then a snack protein snack bar for afternoon snack.  Then a up to a 550 calorie dinner.  So my caloric intake for the day is 800-1000 calories.  The doctor I saw there was Dr. Debra Greenfield.  She was very kind, and spent over an hour talking with me.  She also did an EKG then heard a heart murmur while listening to my heart so she sent me for an echocardiogram.   I went yesterday and should have the results by the time of my next visit on Monday, February 4, 2013.  She is also checking my blood work, past EKG and giving me a full workup to get a complete understanding of my medical history which will help her to help me with my weight loss.

Week 4

Lost another 2.6lbs this week and weigh 238.4 lbs. I have started back to Planet Fitness Gym 2-3 days a week and doing at least one hour on the treadmill. I am a little concerned because this is my birthday week and I will be going out to dinner. Plan on filling up on salad and then my meal. My favorite is the Yankee Pot Roast with gravy and mashed potatoes.  I don't want to deprive myself as special occasions do come up and I want to enjoy them but I will be careful at the same time not to overindulge. We'll see how it goes next week!

Week 3

Lost again this week.  Not such a big number but I am happy for a loss of -1.4lbs and I now weight 241 lbs.  I am still eating the same as last week adding in more protein and staying away from carbs as much as I can.

Week 2

Off to a good start with a weight loss of  -6.4lbs and a weight of 242.4lbs.  I have to say I am pretty happy the numbers are going in the right direction for once.  I did fight with some hunger at times while lowering my calories to 1000 each day.  Bread is the hardest for me but I am only choosing to have it once and a while.  I have also taken most carbs out of my dinners having just a protein with a vegetable.

Start of a New Me

This begins my weight loss journey.  I am 5' 1" and  248.8 lbs and disgusted with how I look and feel.  I have never felt so on a mission to lose weight like I do now.  My goal is to get back to a healthy weight of 128 lbs and be more active and fit.  Here are my starting weight pictures which aren't too pretty.  I CAN do this!!
