It's Time To Give My Progress Report!

Thu, 9 Aug 2012 12:05:36 EST

I lost 2lbs this week!

I'm back FOR GOOD!!!

Sun, 5 Aug 2012 19:27:32 EST

I have finally got it through my head that I need to fight this weight off of me. It has been a long time in the making. I plan to post every week to update you on my progress.

I'm Sweetly Broken

Mon, 7 May 2012 22:34:10 EST

God has broken me. I can not stay in my sins of glutony any longer. Jesus...help me to run this race and lay aside the sins that so easily beset me.

So I wonder what you would think of this

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:53:35 EST

Hi guys, it's me again. I'm still in the 400's. In fact I have not lost or gained since I last updated my tracker. I am at it again though. But my wieght isn't what I want to talk to you about. I wonder if anyone here would like to read some bible studies I am going to put together?

If so let me know by leaving a comment.

Dread... Fear... And Dismay... But Not That Bad LOL

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:08:04 EST

Well I am afraid I didn't meet my goal. I lost absolutely nothing in week two. Maybe it was those two days of going over my calories... hmmm. Well at least I didn't gain though. I am still at 419lbs. That means I need to catch up this week and lose 6lbs by next sunday. It can be done.

Arg Matey

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:44:21 EST

I am not sure what to write... I just felt like bloging today. So far so good today on the calories. I am not doing too bad for week two. I am shooting for a loss of 3lbs this week. I hope I make it.
221 Arrr HEHEHEHAHAHA

Wow...I lost a lot!

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 09:28:04 EST

Wow...I just lost 13lbs in one week! I am down to 419lbs now. I hope this week will be just as good.

Got a mile in...wow I am out of shape!

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:52:14 EST

One mile down and a thousand more to go. Today Tina and I went for a walk at the park. It was a 20 minute mile. I am glad we got it done but boy am I beat now. It just lets me know how badly I need to lose this weight. By the end my back and joints were screaming. That didn't used to happen and it isn't cause I turned 31 last month either.

So I steped on the scale yesterday and it said I lost six lbs since my last weigh in. My official second weigh in is going to be sunday morning....

OMG What have I done?!

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:09:42 EST

This lifestyle of mine has got to change. I just got so sick of going up and down on the scale so I gave up. So you know what happens when you give up? You gain all the weight back and go back to 432lbs! I guess giving up wasn't the best thing to do huh?

Well here I am yet again. Saying this time will be different. But will it? What is so different now than the past times I tried this? I don't know but I have to keep trying.

Week 4 Weigh In

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:10:58 EST

This past week has been a killer. We ate horrible and didn't work out like we should have. Yet for some odd reason I lost weight. I am down to 414 from 416 last week. I don't know how that worked. I expected a gain. It just means I could have lost so much more I guess.

Today Is A New Day

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 18:39:34 EST

Well today has gone a lot better than the last few days. I am at 1350 calories for the day. Tina and I walked at the mall an equivalent of 2 miles. Then we went and walked another mile at the park. So I would say today has gone well for eating and working out.

Thanks For Following

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 06:49:18 EST

So to make up for lost time I think I will blog twice today. Once right now and again at the end of the day to let everyone know how I am doing. First I want to say that yes I am still here and going to continue. I also want to say thanks for all of those who have been commenting and following my blogs. It motivates me to keep going.

So today I have a plan on what I am going to eat. The last several days I did not have one and paid the price for it. I am probably going to gain this...

It's Been A Hard Week

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:17:18 EST

I am glad I have Tbear to help me out. She is counting calories for both of us. For some reason I just haven't felt up to counting calories this week. She has been though and I am proud of her. She is even been counting my calories for me.

So today I am not sure what we are having for dinner. We kinda skiped making a plan last night. I think it is partly because we have no money for food and all we have is a bag of frozen chicken in the freezer. I guess I have been a little depress...

I Feel A Second Wind

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 05:13:43 EST

So this past week hasn't been the best as far as eating. I still thought it wasn't that bad though. I thought that anyway. I just did my weigh in. I gained weight! I am now at 416lbs. But this has given me another push to lose the weight. This week will be better.

Sorry

Fri, 7 Oct 2011 19:15:17 EST

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I just did not feel up to it at all. Probably because I ate way over my calories yesterday. But today is a better day. I am ending at 1,650 calories for the day. We also went on a walk in the mall again.

I don't know what else to post so I will say bye for now.

Not The Best Of Days

Wed, 5 Oct 2011 18:11:04 EST

Well today I am feeling a little tired. I guess walking a mile or more everyday has got to me. Oh...thats right... I walked 25 minutes at one time today. Maybe that is why I am tired. So I am ending the day at 2190 calories. Not a very good day for calories. But I am glad to have walked some of that off.

Tina is still feeling a little sick. We went christmas shopping today! That was fun. Now we get to wrap gifts!

Poor Tina Is Sick

Tue, 4 Oct 2011 18:50:05 EST

Poor Tina is sick with a virus or something. So we did a lot of napping today. It was nice to just rest after having such a busy day yesterday. I hope she feels better soon. We got in a half mile at the park today even though she didn't feel good. I am proud of her for trying. I just know we will have a good week this week. Our goal is 2lbs lost. We will have to wait and see.

Oh I took in 1,597 calories today. It was a great day eating mexican. We made an enchalata casserole. Mexic...

Went On A Date

Mon, 3 Oct 2011 18:28:39 EST

Today has been fun. We went on a little date to the museum. Walked around a lot and then went and walked at the park. It was fun doing something other than eating for a date.

So I am ending the day at 1,470 calories. I think week 3 is going to be a great week!
250

Week 2 Weigh In

Mon, 3 Oct 2011 05:48:10 EST

So week two has come and gone. I was a little worried about it for a while there but I am happy to say I lost 3lbs and am now at 409.8lbs! Tina has done a lot of work this week and did good on eating but her body just didn't do her right. I am sure she and I will have a great 3rd week though!

I Had A Temptation

Sun, 2 Oct 2011 19:23:18 EST

Oh boy... that was a good dinner! We had grilled chicken with cheesy mashpotatos. It tasted great because Tbear cooked it for me hehe. Anyway, today has turned out pretty good. I got to go to church this morning and visited my grandma.

Speaking of that I had a temptation today. Every Sunday my family gets together and eats churches fried chicken. Today they had it again. I had to tell them no a few times and Tina had to raise her voice to tell them to stop pestering us about eating...

Today Went Better Than Yesterday

Sat, 1 Oct 2011 19:27:01 EST

So today has gone very well. We walked at the park and I took in 1,470 calories. I feel pretty good right about now and am not hungry. So I believe tonight should go well. We are going to watch a movie I think.

So for christmas we are thinking of buying each other goal clothes. They would be like little rewards when we get to finaly fit into them. We are thinking 3x would be a good size for our first goal clothes.

Today Was A Total Loss

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:39:19 EST

So after eating lunch at 1,100 calories we got a little too depressed and ended up doing even more damage. I am sitting at 2,350 clories for the end of the day. We both feel horrible but trust tomorow is going to be a better day!

When I think of how we used to eat I can't believe it now. We were taking in anywhere from 5,000 - 7,000 a day I am sure! So we are doing better than we used to even on days like this.

I Hate To Report This

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:02:04 EST

Oh boy... I found something out today. Spur of the moment dates to eat lunch are not good. I thought I was doing so good. I had figured up the calories in my head to be around 600 tops. When I got home I looked the calories up... well Tina did anyway... and it was 1,100 calories. So today I am going to end on another high note. I should end at 1,710 after dinner tonight.

Never again will we do this to ourselves. Still... going over by 210 calories isn't that bad but I wanted to do ...

Great Day With A Shadow Overhead

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 18:58:36 EST

I am very happy with how today went. We got outside and walked a mile and then we walked around the mall. So we got our workout in. Also I am ending the day at 1,230 calories! What a great day.

The only thing overshadowing us is that this is dreaded week two and even people on the biggest loser have gained weight during this week. I guess we should just look at it like a little bump in the road if we do that but darnet we want to lose this week too. We will have to wait and see. <...

OH NO I AM 10 CALORIES OVER!!! LOL

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:27:11 EST

It's a rainy day so we got some movies from the library and are just chilling at home today. We are going to work out again tonight a little later from now but so far the day has gone good as far as eating. I am finishing the day at 1,510 calories! I am only over by 10 calories lol. Tina is doing great on this losing weight effort. I am so proud of her.

So I was looking up youtube videos about people that lost a lot of weight and had a lot of extra skin. I don't know if I will have...

A little On The High Side But Doing OK

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 19:45:58 EST

So today Tina and I went on a little date out to eat. Don't worry... the damage wasn't bad. I am ending the day on a little bit of a high note though but only 310 calories over goal. I am getting back on track after last night. I would have been at goal but I got a Fuze drink that was 190 calories and ate a bag of 100 calorie chocolate covered pretzles. Still I don't think going over by 310 was toooo bad. I will do better tomorow though.

So I didn't go into work today. It was just...

Thanks To Everyone

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 15:15:21 EST

Thanks everyone for the kind words last night. It was a rough night for sure. Today has been better though. I will update you at the end of the day how it went. For now though I wanted to say thanks and 252

Tonight I am Hurting From Overeating

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 00:46:53 EST

Well I did it to myself. I emotionaly ate tonight because I was depressed. I don't even want to know how many calories I took in. Tomorow will be better. I don't know if I am going back to my job or not. That kinda has me down. It is just a little too much for someone with bipolar to handle.

15

Week two here I come...

Mon, 26 Sep 2011 21:47:01 EST

I just finished my first workout. It wasn't that hard but my joints are hurting from it. I guess water arobics would be better since I weigh so much but I don't have access to a pool right now. So today I took in 1,680 calories. Not a bad start to week two.

244

Week 1 weigh in... the secret is out!

Mon, 26 Sep 2011 06:01:00 EST

It is that time... time for the weigh in! I am so pleased to say that I have lost 8lbs this past week and now weigh 412.8! I haven't been below 416lbs since I started trying to diet a couple years ago. So I know this time will be different. I will stick to this and lose it all.

Wish me luck on my job today!

I Have A Secret

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:00:41 EST

I am finishing this week out strong at 1,270 calories today. Tina and I went ahead and stepped on the scale today and now we have a secret. We are not telling anyone until tomorow what we weigh because tomorow is the official weigh in day. So you will just have to sweat it out waiting until morning lol.

I start training for my new job in the morning too. I am not looking forward to it because I am a little nervous. But it will be good to bring the money home. I just have to make it...

I Have A Plan

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 17:15:12 EST

It is only 4:10 pm here and I am already bloging about my day. I normally wait until night but I have a plan already and I will stick to it. If I don't I will blog about it later but if you see no other blog from me today it means I made it happen.

I am going to have a total of 1,626 calories for the day. It is about 126 calories over my limit of 1,500 but hey that isn't bad. I get to eat a great sandwish of foccocia bread, roast beef, oven roasted turkey, honey ham, and provalone....

So I lied

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 02:54:31 EST

Well I thought I would not eat again tonight but it looks like I did. I am now at 2,095 calories for the day. But the good thing is I am not hungry lol. Tomorow will be better.

So why did I do it tonight? I can tell you with one word... depression. I ate emotionaly. I wish I didn't but I did. I do think what I ate was better than what I wanted to eat though lol. I would have had another 2,000 calories instead of the few hundred. I ditched the spagetti and went for the hotpocket. Be...

Update on my calories for today

Fri, 23 Sep 2011 22:18:16 EST

So I am now sitting at 1295 calories. I am not eating anymore tonight so I did very well.

New Day and a New Job

Fri, 23 Sep 2011 19:35:07 EST

What a crazy day! I have eaten 1,175 calories so far and am full. I will eat another 220 tonight though so I will end the day with 1,395 calories. So I am doing good as far as eating goes. I have a plan to start my exersize come monday. I hope I can do it. I start a new old job come monday too. I had orientation today. I missed tbear like crazy while I was gone. It has been two years since I left for work outside the house.

I have been working from home since I left the job I am go...

I Have A Confession

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 20:01:00 EST

So today I took in 1,365 calories. I would say that is pretty good. I am still looking forward to weigh in day. I do have a confession to make though. I have been drinking diet soda instead of water. I hear that isn't good for you but I believe it is a step in the right direction. I think it only makes you crave sugar and that is why it is bad for you because you end up eating candy or something. I am not doing that or feeling the crave though so I will keep it up.

Also I haven't ...

I'm Going To Be Bad Today!!

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:10:51 EST

So far today has gone pretty good. But tonight I plan on being bad...but not that bad lol. I am going to subway to get a chicken sandwish. So for a total today I am going to be over my calories by a hundred. 1,725 calories will be what I will end the day out with. So again it is bad I will go over by 225 calories but not as bad as it could be. I already looked up the calories in the sandwish so no worries there.

I am still looking forward to this coming weight in. I hope I lost som...

Chicken and Capt. Crunch

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:44:42 EST

Today went well. We had pan seared chicken and salad all day. As well as southwest style rice. Add a little bit of capt. crunch in the mix and I am good to go. So I just finished my last meal for the day. I am at 1,120 calories for the day. I am nice and full but if I get hungry later I may eat a little bit more baked chicken. I will not go over 1,500 calories though.

So today has gone well in all. I am looking forward to making new friends on here so if you read this and need a sp...

So far so good

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:07:00 EST

So far so good. I am at 1,230 calories for the day and just finished my last meal of the day. I feel full right now but I know later tonight I am going to have the munchies like crazy. I will just have to deal with it because I am not eating anymore tonight.

I found out today that I start work this coming monday. Orientation is on friday. I am excited about it but scared too. It has been 2 years since I held a "normal" job. I suffer from bipolar so I have had to take the last 2 yea...

I'm Sick of This!!!

Sun, 18 Sep 2011 20:53:32 EST

I am so sick of losing and then gaining the same pounds over and over again! Tonight I feel like screaming and kicking! I am so sick of this weight. Well tomorrow starts a brand new day. I am not going to say that I will keep at it this time because I have said that so many times before. I am just going to say that I need to do this. I think I have hit my rock bottom tonight.

I am so sick of being overweight that I am literally feeling sick from it. I see so many people here losin...

My goal

Tue, 24 May 2011 20:58:12 EST

So I have been looking for a goal to set for a few days now. So here it is. I want to lose 200lbs in this year. That means 4lbs a week. I believe I can do it. It would mean I would be down to 223lbs by this time next year.

help

Tue, 17 May 2011 00:20:11 EST

Hi again spark people. It has been a while since I have been on here. Sad to say depression has taken it's toll on me for a while now and I have not lost any wieght. I need to start over starting today. That is why I am here.

I want to start all over here. I am at 430 lbs. I feel like the world is falling down around me because of money, wieght, depression, and anxiety. For those who do not know I suffer from bipolar manic depression or whatever it is called. It makes things so muc...

back to 410lbs

Sat, 26 Feb 2011 12:17:43 EST

So I went back up to 417 lbs again since I last blogged. I guess I just gave up for a little while. That is how it seems to be going. I lose weight and then I gain the weight back again. But I am happy to say I am back down to 410lbs as of this morning.

I am changing my weight loss ticker. I am going to do it based on my small goals so that I can see it move when I lose something.

Back up to 411lbs

Sat, 5 Feb 2011 11:05:29 EST

I wish I didn't have to do this but I am going to admit that last night I got a slice of pizza and some breadsticks after I had already reached my calorie goal. Now I am back up to 411lbs as of this morning.

I know there will be failures along the way. I am going to be open about all of them. I really hate that I gained after one screw up. But it just means I need to focus a little harder.

Still at 410lbs

Fri, 4 Feb 2011 11:09:01 EST

So I am still at 410lbs today. That is good considering the burger and steak sandwitch I had yesterday. I hope to be down to 409lbs tomarow. Wow...I will be in the single numbers!

Today should go well for us as long as we don't try to eat out. It is a real temptation when we have money in our pockets. We also need to take my dad to the Dr. appointment he has so that may make it a little harder being out around lunch time. If we do go out though I will make sure it is to subway or ...

At 410lbs...but for how long?

Thu, 3 Feb 2011 14:36:45 EST

I made it to my first mini goal! I am now at 410lbs as of this morning. I just hope it doesn't go up tomarrow. We had a lot of things to do today so we had to eat out for lunch. I had a burger and side salad instead of the fries. I hope that burger wasn't too many calories. Maybe I should look it up...I think I will.

2lbs away from mini goal

Wed, 2 Feb 2011 12:19:56 EST

I am now 2lbs away from my mini goal of 410 as of this morning. I know many people say you should not weigh in daily but I like it so I will keep doing it. It helps to know when I am up and down. It keeps me motivated knowing I am going to jump on those scales in the morning.

So it seems my diet is working for me. I am now at 412lbs. I am a little worried about today though. We are having country fried steak. I wonder how many calories is in that!!!

Oh and we got some p...

Slow

Tue, 1 Feb 2011 11:31:33 EST

Still at 413 this morning. I wish I could just wish the lbs away but it takes work and lots of it. This is a very slow process.

Worried about my weight

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:08:40 EST

It's me again. I have been on spark people off and on for a while now and haven't lost much. But then again I haven't done much about it. So here I am again trying to go at it. I am now down to 413lbs. That is down from my heaviest of 438lbs.

Gosh just thinking about that number is frieghtening. I have an aunt in the hospital having a heart bypass on wensday. She isn't even that old or overweight. It makes me wonder how much longer I have with the weight I am at. That is why I am d...
