disneydream06Well, I think things are back on track. I have slowed down on the water intake, and I still don't think the diuretic is doing anything for me. :p But the walking must be working. YAY......
Today's Weight: 240.2 lbs.
Total Lost: - 5.7 lbs.
Will I ever get back to 0 and really start losing weight? lol........

Date: 2007-08-16 07:01 am (UTC)Some observations and Suggestions
Date: 2007-08-16 03:38 pm (UTC)Secondly: what is your behavior modification plan. Do you reward yourself for loosing weight. For example: Every time you loose a lb do you put 5 bucks in a jar, and then use the money to travel, or if you loose a lb, do you reward yourself by doing something you enjoy, and if you don't loose the weight to you "punish" yourself by not doing that activity.
Thirdly, and this is just a suggestion: have you thought of switching to a PURE VEGAN diet. There are differnt types of being a vegetarian. Vegan by far is the most strict, and the most selective. Here is why this may be a good idea for you, and I am making an assumption that your a big fan of your junk food: a vegan diet, is STRICTLY NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS what-so ever. NONE. This includes, and you are ready:
-No HONEY (comes from bees)
-NO CHOCHOLATE (Milk comes from cows-MOO)
-NO EGGS (again because of the CHICKEN)
-NO MILK (MOO)
-NO Ice-Cream (MOO)
-NO FISH, NO SEA-FOOD.
Here is what you can eat:
1) Salad with tons of vegetables. YUM
2) PEANUTS: GREAT SOURCE of PROTIEN
3) BEANS: the more you eat the more you toot!
4) Fruit: you are what you eat
5) Grains
6) Tofu with Pasta: YUM
Just suggestions: I'm concerned because you have been on this loose weight plan for over 2 years, and not getting anwwhere fast. Have you thought of keeping track of EXACTLY EVERY PIECE of food you put in your mouth for a whole week. I think you will be surprised at what you are all eating, and then are able to see where to make some cuts.
Re: Some observations and Suggestions
Date: 2007-08-17 07:46 am (UTC)I don't have a rewards system, right now it is just hoping BP comes down and don't have to start more meds.
As for Vegan or any level of vegetarian, there is now way I could ever go that far. I can easily give up the junnk for, but I love my meat too much to ever give it up. Seriously, I am a carnivore through and through. Sorry...
The whole weight lose thing has been going on more than 2 years, it has been a life long struggle. I was the fat kid people picked on. It hasn't always been a struggle that I have tackled. About 10 or so years ago, I got myself down to 175 lbs from about 260. I hovered around for awhile, but eventually got lazy and put it back on. Last year I did lose about 70 lbs. Unfortunately, I did put about 40 of those back on, but that does mean that I am still 30 pounds ahead.
Admitedly, I haven't been trying my hardest this year. Now adding to the equation of having to try and cut back on salt intake makes it just that much harder. But like I said, I hope that motivation of not wanting to take more meds will get me going.

Seriously, concider the meat thing, at least cut out red meat... cause it could be contributing to your high blood pressure. I know you love your red meat, and any Minnesotian would agree with you. However, there are some alternitives, and how you prepare it, ect. Basically what I am saying is don't go out to the back 40, shoot your cow, and have 9 new york strips in a row.

if all else fails: you could try this new diet...
The Crystal meth diet! LOL
