Day 2 down 2 more LBS

I'm kinda getting the hang of this. Stuck to the script for breakfast and just had coffee and an apple. I even measured the creamer. Since it really isn't dairy I guess I didn't have to, but for calorie sake, I did. Took lunch to work and ate chicken breast while those around me at pizza. I was brave!!!!! For dinner I repeated the chicken and added Melba toast. We decided to go to the movies and see the new Denzel movie. I had a zero calorie diet coke and was surprised how little popcorn I ate. The supplement definitely suppresses hunger! I'm glad to have made the decision to do "something" "anything". I had became powerless over my eating decisions and my eating had become unmanageable. Now Im feeling the hope!!!!

Weight loss for day 2 was 2 pounds.
Weight loss to date 5 pounds.

Day 1

Well day 1 got off to a rough start when I was invited to a breakfast meeting. Grrrrrr. I settled on 2 pcs of bacon, very small portion of hash browns and fruit. I should have had an apple and coffee. Oh well! For lunch I had a piece of chicken 4-5 oz's and salad greens with a very small amount of dressing. I should have had chicken and veggies, absolutely no dressing! So all that to say I wasn't off to a good start. I had a conversation with someone I see pretty often who is on the same plan and she gave me a pep talk and some insight to being successful. For dinner, I got my act together and followed the plan. Chicken (with lemon and pepper), asparagus, and melba toast. I put away about 36 ounces of water and kept it simple. I never felt abnormaly hungry.

The result: I started the day Feb 9 at 270 and this morning weighed on at 267. Im not over excited or making any unrealistic predictions, Im simply detailing the facts. I do look forward to a couple of apple snacks, Im not going to let hunger turn into making bad choices.

The Decision

A few weeks ago, I stepped on the scale and it said 279 POUNDS!! It's the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I got a bike and enjoy riding around the hood. I remembered a weight loss program a couple of guys I know had tried and saw favorable results. Along with a very low calorie diet, a supplement is called for. I tried the diet alone and skipped the supplement. Within a couple of days, I had extreme body aches and abandoned the effort. I did learn that I was disciplined enough to tolerate the low calorie diet and should reconsider using the supplement which gives the body the extra little boost of nutrients needed. Being frugal, I retried the regiment without the supplement and lost weight again- but plateaued quickly.

This morning (2/9)
Weight:270
Neck:19.5
Belly: 51.5
Waist: 44
Chest: 49
Bicep: 18
Thigh: 28

The idea of this blog is to record my progress/failure as I attempt to reach 250. I probably will not post daily, but I will record what I've eaten (good or bad). I want to be totally transparent and use this blog as an accountability tool.
