I have decided I would keep track for myself of where this journey will take me. I only weigh once a month when i go see my doctor. I see him almost every 4 weeks so i think this will be best. I have set goals for myself.

My Last Checkup was March 20th at 257lbs
I will return on April 14th and my goal is to be 248 or less.

I do not have much to say right now.. keep on pushing hard to reach your goals.. it will be worth it in the end.

Welcome!

You and I are starting at about the same weight range. You're BMI shows a bit higher than mine, so I'm assuming there is a difference in our heights (I'm 5'9).

Well, here there are tons of people who are willing to help and motivate you if you need it. Oh, and there is a forum for those of use who are in the 200+ lbs range.

Let's hope your next doctor visit has you at your first mini goal. Hope to read more from you, and Good Luck!

First off thanks for dropping by V.. :) I'll go check out that 200+ group in a bit.

Where was I ?? Yes 248 or less by April 14th...

My midpoint goal is at 207 days which shoudl be around October. He wants me at about 198. He said Do what I tell you to do for 207 days and by then You should be in the right mind frame to cont on your own.
So sure.. if he has this much faith in me, what could it hurt??

My final goal hopefully take one year.. to lose 100 pounds.... but baby steps :) So i'm focussing on April 14th.. How much do i weigh? have I gained?? How i lost?? Ah well who knows.. all i'm suppose to do is focus on what i'm eatting and what i'm exercising daily. I can do that :)


For the first week i walk 30 minutes a day 6 days a week.
The second week I walk 45 minutes a day 6 days a week.
The Third week walking 60 minutes a day 6 days a week.
And cont. the 60 minutes a day 6 days a week on after. At 60 minutes i'll be going 30 in the morning and 30 in the evening.

So Can i do that? Sure who can't... Ipod in my ear and around a lake or at a park i go. No indoor walking, cause that is cheating he says. outside you have a hill, grass, sand, dirt, rocks, gravel.. who knows? depends on where i go. Inside, yea a machine that goes up and down in a room that is air conditioned. He told me if i go there i shoudl pat myself on the back because i'm not following his advice, i'm doing another program, one he doesn't need to see me for. So... outside i go, and i'll be honest it's FREAKING hard!!!! i can't look down every 2 minutes and see how many calories i've burnt or how long i've walked. I set a timer to go off on my phoen when i hot the 30, 45, 60 minute mark and stop.. then i walk back, but in a more relaxing way to my car or my home. But i know that if i follow his wayit will work.. heck the other 50-60 pictures that are plastered on his walls show fat chick thin chick.. fat guy thin guy. and yes some of these people i KNOW... so well see what has happened to me int he last couple weeks on April 14!!!:)

Eatting? Yes i eat and i'll break it down in here little by little if anyone is wanting to know lol

Well i haven't checked in for a couple weeks.. busy work and all..:mad:

But i've been working out 6 days a week still and eatting right :) So all is well in Emi's world.

Monday April 14th is weigh in day.. my gosh i'm soo nervous and excited!! yesterday i asked my hubby if i could jump on the scale.. you know.. just incase i haven't reached my goal i could work hard this weekend... and i got the look... LOL You know that look, the one that simple says "try it, i'll break your legs and then you won't be able to walk and stand on the scale" but in a loving way... so i just gave him a kiss and told him i could wait til monday LOL

Last night we went out to eat.. and even though i probably had the WORST thing on the menu ziti i was smart about it.. i had a side salad instead of the app. that my hunny had some cheesey biscut stuff that looked good enough to eat the whole thing. I didn't use any dressing on my Salad and then i had some of the Ziti, but not even 1/4 of the plate.. and yes i wasn't hungry anymore. Plus we had a 4pm dinner since i got off work early. Then we went for a long walk around a Lake in my area that is 3 miles long. came home grabbed my puppy and took him out for a little jog (his walking is my jogging! LOL).

So i think by bed i probably burnt off 1-3 noodles, but it was good and i wasn't going to not get it and crave it for weeks to come :)

That's all for now :)
 
Hey!! Looks like your doing really well with your plan. Just wanted to say good luck with tomorrows weigh in!! Fingers crossed!
 
The POA (plan of action)

Wooooooooooooooot Weigh in days ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so from 3/20/08- 4/14/08 i have lost 15 pounds.. omg that is just amazing!!

I continue with the 1 hour of walking per day 6 days of week for the next 4 weeks. 3 days of the week jog 5-10 mins after or before the walk but do not allow the heart rate to reach over 133 (my highest target).

Food: same as before, if anything is eatten that is not part of the lifestyle, cut it in half.

Drinks: Water, black coffee, low fat milk in the morning, allowed 8ooz jucie per day as well (all the same).

Work: Parking in the back of the lot and having to walk to the front of the building instead of the VIP entrance. I added that one myself, the doctor laughed but agreed. the lot is on a large hill going down, i have a spot at the front, but if i park in the back i have to walk up hill to my car every afternoon that i leave.

Start 3/20/08 257 Goal by 3/14/08: 248
Weigh in 4/14/08 242 242 Goal by 5/12/08: 234

I can do it!!! :)
 
So i worked out tonight.. i couldn't help myself, great reward for beating a goal is to treat yourself to a nice 6 mile walk, then 1/2 jog.. then just because i wanted to see if i could actually live to tell the tale i got on that elliptical down at the fitness center. so everything was outside until it came to that.. i was sweaty.. i was tired.. i drank another half of my bottle did a quick stretch and hopped on.. and yes i'm alive!!

2 months ago i was lucky to be on there 3 minutes... if that.. that machine hurts..

and 2 months later.... 24 minutes until my legs started to really scream and threathen the rest of me for enternal shut down. Gosh that was an amazing feeling. I know it's not the biggest step in life but for me that's one machine i wouldn't ever work with.. now i think i may start using it .. on rainy days or days that i can afford to spend a little extra time tackling that demon!

Other than that.. i'm exhausted, and i'd like to go crash.. but i must iron the hubby's uniform.. so i'm off to ironing world... until we meet again! :)
