A chance at redemption! My story, my troubles, my life.

Great job on your weight-loss so far!! I can see from July til now your motivation is alive and kicking! You'll get to where you wanna be!!! Good luck with everything!!
 
thanks! It's officially become a way of life, I no longer have those crazy cravings... I do get cravings, but now if I want a chocolate or something, I dont go out and eat chocolate, I may take a tiny bite of a cookie, literally tiny probably penny size, and I get content with that. I used to be able to eat and yet still feel so hungry... now I eat and my body says that enough. I count all my calories... some say that I am over doing it, I say the only thing I over did was eat too much!

I have a long way to go, and I dont plan on stopping...
 
I did go over my 1600 calories twice this week... one day was 1930 calories the other 1690 calories... still way below my BMR of 2501 but I like to keep it at 1600 or less... i'll do my averages tonight... since I do alot more walking I get more hungry... but I think I need more water... I am not drinking enough.
 
wow, it's been a while, I need to update my calories... school has been kickin my butt! will get caught up soon... I am actually in a challenge in the halloween challenge! hope to be down to 269 by halloween.
 
Time for a reality check, well I have for the past 3 weeks on the weekends, given myself a cheat day, well it turned into a whole weekend. though it really has not had much effect on my weightloss, i've still lost 2 pds a week... but I know this has to be a commitment and a change for the better, and not just during the week. I joined a gym, which has boxing classes, and I just finished my first one today, and boy did it work me out, I expect to double my weight loss, with the addition of the gym. Ill post in my journal more... 43 pounds lost since july 20th 2009! I am hungry for more pounds shed!
 
Just ran a mile! I actually woke up at 5 am and ran! that felt so good, why didn't I do it sooner, is the only puzzling question? This has got to become a habit, it really felt good, a little scary though... but I had my dog with me "snuggles" haha he could use the exercise too! a great start to the "eve" of my birthday.
 
hey there!
glad to see that things are continuing to go well!

I haven't been on much lately - too much going on - but I'm glad to hear you are doing well!
 
Hello, well I will be honest I had hit a bumpy road, but I have great news! I have been selected by a local News station for a program called "get fit" They are going to train me for 12 months at a local gym and offer nutrition support too! I can't wait to get started and I am so blessed to have been chosen! I will keep updating here too, I am going to do my 3k on thanksgiving morning which is really scary! I am using it as a measuring for how I am this year compared to how will I be this time next year! I am excited and I staying true to my " a chance at redemption, the start of a new you" I am getting a chance, and I am NOT going to mess it up!
 
My last post was November 24th... and it turns out, I messed up, i've put some weight back on. I don't know what happened, I suppose in the back of my head I knew I was going to start this program in January and kind of just let myself go, i've also been feeling really down lately. it's around 2 in the morning and I haven't been able to sleep for 2 weeks now, I have about a month break until school starts. In all honesty I did not count any calories at all so far in December, and it's showing! Man, why do I let myself go!!!! I hate it, that I just give up sometimes... I guess all I can do is get back on the wagon. starts today.
 
Losing over 40 pounds in less than 6 months is a tremendous achievement. Just take a deep breath and get yourself back on track.
 
well I was missing in action again. In November I won a contest that was going to train me for 1 year and film my progress... well the gym that was going to do it, fell through. They finally found a new gym and I am in my second week now. I work out about 2 and half hrs a day. It feels good, but so far I have not lost anything, which sucks... I was able to lose 10 pounds my first week on my own. I thought for sure I would already be seeing results as I am burning alot of calories... I am frustrated but I need to keep going. I got back up to 303, so that really hurts. I was down to 282 in november.

I will be posting more... by the way if you want to know more about me and the training, here is a link: Click on "Thomas Carrasco fitness blog" thanks!

i'm back on track, I work out about 2-3 hrs a day, i've lost 19 pounds, but i've been doing strength training as well. Or I do believe I would be losing more. I feel good!
 
Yeah I work out alot, I do it all at the gym. I won a contest with a local tv station, and the gym is training me for free for a year. I'm in school right now, and I have my own business so it's easier for me to work around my schedule... I lost another 4 pounds this week! I worked hard for it too! I bought a polar HRM and I would not stop my cardio until I burnt off 1000 calories. last week I did 5700 calories! It paid off, I know it's not exact, but it's a great estimate! Im also strength training, which I love! So hopefully i'm losing mostly fat and not muscle.
