Losing Weight with Starscream

[shilala]

Still 216.2.
That's after a weekend of Fair food and I've been forcing myself to eat dinner every day. The only thing I can see that I've done differently in the last few months (aside from being sick) is that I drink about two gallons of water a day, whether it be coffee (watered down half-caff with lots of milk), or flavored water. Grape Aquafina and Grape Powerade Zero are my favorites.
I'm never without a 32 ounce cup around me, and I always feel like I'm in a desert.

The doctor gave me a choice last November ... lose weight or die. I'm 5'8' but I weighed 229. Had to look in the "big and tall' for pants with at 46" waist. Alright ... I looked like a walrus.

Been at this diet thing ... one reasonable meal a day and NO munchies (the real cause of my problem) ... for about 7 months now. Got on the scale this morning and was down to 158 ... yessssss ... that's 71 pounds. Kind of like I've lost a 4 year old.

I'm into 34" waist pants, and this morning I was able to get into some clothes that I haven't been able to wear for years.

My goal is 155 pounds and I'm just now starting to believe that I may really get there.

That's quite an accomplishment!

After 71 pounds I wouldn't sweat another 3, but if it keeps you motivated to stay in shape and watch what you eat, more power to you.

I have my weigh in tomorrow. I've been hovering around 230 all week, but I was a little off the wagon today. Maybe I'll do some crunches before I go out for that beer.

I'm about to be at the inlaws for a couple of weeks though, we'll see what kind of damage that does to my progress...

inlaws cooking (especially my wife's grandmother) is irresistable!

Awesome job! 71lbs is more like an 8yr old, and that is quite the accomplishment. Keep up the good work on the last 3lbs.

Good luck on the weigh-in.

I managed to hold my own and drop the 2lbs again. I'm on better track than I was last summer where I started off pretty good then kept climbing right up to Christmas. My goal this year is to keep the extra weight off over the holidays.

Have a great weekend everybody.
