Day 130

Today I woke up to weigh as usual and found out that I weighed 270.0 lbs.  This means since December 15th, I have lost a total of 85 pounds.  I have gone down 12 sizes in the waist.  I went from a 54 to a 42.  I continue to exercise every week.  I can now walk 4-5 miles at a time without tiring out.  I get bored with walking before I ever tire out.  I have noticed that more and more people that knew me before my surgery have been throwing out complements and congratulations on my progress.  It is undeniable that I look better, feel better, and feel more sociable now than at any point in the last 16 years of my life.  My goal is to get between 200-210 pounds... So I have about 60-70 more pounds to lose.  However it is entirely possible that I could lose to 190 lbs.  That would really be about as low as I would want to weigh for my height.

Day 117

Today I write for the fact that I have reached a weight loss of 80 pounds.  This continues to be an amazing transformation for me since I am only 4 months post surgery!  It would seem by now that I would cease to be amazed at the weight that I am losing but some how I do not think I will until I reach my target weight.  For my height of 6 ft 4 inches, I should be right around 200 pounds.  This would mean I have 75 more pounds to lose.  Admittedly its getting harder to resist eating certain foods that I know very well I should stay away from like dessert cakes and cookies.  However, I just eat a wheat thin type cracker or drink water instead when I get those urges.  Until next time!

Day 110

Today is day 110 post surgery.  I have officially lost 75 pounds.  This is roughly half of my target weight loss.  I continue to drink 2 GNC leanshakes a day as part of my daily diet to reach a daily intake of 70-100 grams of protein.  I have continued to stay away from all sodas, desserts, alcohol, and other high calorie foods.  I am still exercising to the tune of at least 6-8 miles a week.  With me working a part time job now for the last month, it has been a bit harder to get in my exercise.  I continue to feel better about my body and my overall health.  The size of clothes that I buy continue to shrink.  I project by at least June I will be back down to my High School graduation weight of 260 pounds.  My goal is to be around 200.  Until next time!

Day 92

I am now 3 months post surgery.  I am no longer on any food restrictions.  However I still refrain from eating any deserts, drinking sodas.  I eat rice and pasta sparingly.  I still cannot drink any alcohol until at least June 15th.  Today I weighed in at 285.2 lbs.  This means I have lost 70 pounds now.  I continue to feel healthier by the day.  I get a little more confident in my overall physical appearance by the day.  Until next time.

Day 83

I have reached the weight of 290 pounds.  This is a 65 Pound drop from December 15th when I weighed 355 pounds.  I have dropped 10 pant sizes.  I have also gone from wearing 5XL-4XLT shirts to wearing 2XLT.  I am walking about 12 miles every week.  I am continuing to drink 2 GNC leanshakes per day along with at least 64 fl oz of water.  It is really starting to hit me when I look in the mirror just how much healthier I look especially when I look at myself from the side and no longer see that huge gut of mine sticking out.  I have around 70-90 more pounds to lose before reaching my target weight for my height.  It may take me the rest of this year and some of the next to get there but ITS GONNA HAPPEN.  When that does, Im going to look damn sexy.

Until Next time!

Day 71

Well today is Day 71 of my Obese Never Again journey and as I stepped on the scales today as I always do after waking up, I found out that I weigh 295.0 pounds.  This means that I have officially lost 60 pounds since December 15th.  My goal is to lose as much as 160 pounds.  This means I have 100 pounds to lose to meet that goal.  However it would not hurt my feelings any if I only lost 60-80 more pounds.  I'm exercising more every week.  I still maintain my daily intake of 70-100 grams of protein through one meal a day and 2 GNC Lean shakes along with no less than 64 fl oz of water a day.  After March 15th, Ill be able to partake in meats like steak and pork chop once again.  Even with my reduced size of pants to 48, I find that I have to tighten my belt a little more just to keep my pants on me.  I feel I will have to buy new pants size 46 very soon.  Until next time!

Day 60

Well today is day 60 post surgery and today I have hit a milestone.  I have lost 55 pounds.  This is a milestone for me because I weighed 355 going into surgery and now I weigh 300 pounds.  I continue to see improvement in my overall stamina and sleep.  Depending on brand name, I have lost around 6-8 pants sizes.  I continue my routine of eating one meal a day, drinking 2 GNC lean shakes, drinking water and having the occasional low calorie snack.  These last 5 pounds have not been easy to lose at all.  I am hoping that this was just a small plateau that I had to hurdle over before resuming a slow but steady weight loss.  Until next time.
