Conquest to Lose Weight - Day 13

Well, it's Day 12 of my conquest to lose weight. I stepped on the scale first thing this morning, and I am now sitting at 307, which puts my grand total of weight lost at 13lbs. This week I cheated a bit, and ate out a few times. Probably because I had a few days off work, but I have stuck to diet soda and water, and when I'm at work, I've been eating relatively smaller meals. If I lose 11 more pounds, I will have already reached my goal for March 31st, or 294. Amy and I went and got our gym memberships this week, and have been a few times. I hope that will help in the loss as well.

Conquest to Lose Weight - Day 6

Well, it is day 6, and I thought I would write a little about my progress towards weight loss. This week I did ok. I weighed myself just now, and it shows that I weigh about 310. That puts me at an 8lb loss for this week. Not too bad, considering the only work out I got was playing a church ball game this week. (Which we won of course!) All I have done this week to lose weight, is watching what I eat a bit better. I still had the occasional goody, and we did go out for dinner last night, but, my goal of 2lbs per week is on a good start. As for that Detox7 thing I bought, it was crap. The stuff I was supposed to drink was disgusting! I actually never got any in my mouth due to the fact that it smelled so bad! I mainly have been trying to drink a lot more water, and smaller portions, and so far, I can tell that Caloric deficit is working. I have found that I have more of a hunkering for sweets, than actually hunger. Hopefully I can keep this up. We never made it to the gym this week, as things kept coming up. Monday we are planning on starting up our memberships again, and going as often as we can. Well it's really late, so I think it's time for me to go to sleep now.

My Conquest to Lose Weight - Day 1

As alot of people do, I also have a New Year's Resolution to lose weight. Today is Day 1, and all is well, so far. I thought I would write a bit about my plans for this year, and what I hope to accomplish. To motivate me, I am participating in a few weight lose contests with coworkers, and also with my dad. On 12/31/07, I officially weighed in at 318lbs. By the end of 2008 my dream goal is to weigh 220lbs. I will be happy if I can reach 240lbs by the end of the year. To start my diet/weight lose program out, tomorrow I will be trying a detox/cleanser 7 day program I bought at the store. I have to drink some stuff in the morning, and take a pill in the morning and night. Not sure if it will do anything, but what the heck. I hope to write at least once a week about my weight loss progress, and how things are going.
