Hey everyone I figured I would start myself a diary. I would love to have everyone's support on my journey. So any comments or suggestions are welcomed and will be greatly appreciated!
I started my diet almost a month ago, I started out at 286 lbs which I decided was way too much. I am 5ft 7in so I shouldn't weigh this much. I tried a diet a long time ago but did not stick to it. Since then I just lived this awful lifestyle of fast food and not caring what I ate. In high school I got plenty of exercise because I threw shot-put and discus. But one of the keys of that is having weight to throw back to launch the disc or shot. I had plenty of muscle but I wasnt watching what I was eating. Otherwise I probly would have ended up skinny.
Anywho, I started my diet a month ago and I started out at 286, the last time I weighed I had lost 10 lbs that was a little over a week ago. I cant decide if I need to look at the scales more often or not that much. Feel free to leave any input you wish. I do not see any changes in myself but everyone else seems too. I disagree with everyone because I feel if I cant tell then I havent changed. I havent measured or anything like that because I have no measuring tape. My goal for the moment is 200 lbs, in my eyes this is quite a journey. When I started my diet and still now I get to where I dont eat 3 meals a day. It doesn't bother me but I know its not good for my body or diet. I have been doing better, I am trying to eat at least 3 meals a day. Also in my intro thread I stated that I do not drink softdrinks and havent in about 10 months. One thing that I am really stressing on is not eating after 8. I used to eat at 930 or so but now I eat around 6-7 and nothing after 8. I really made this for support because I love to see people that are going through the same thing or have lost their ideal weight cheer me on. Now that I gave you guys and gals my background, I will start my diary....

Its been almost a month now and a week ago I lost 10 lbs total. I haven't weighed in yet but I think I'll wait till this Sunday so that I might see more results. I was told today that I have lost so much weight and that you can tell. At first I was asked "how much weight have you lost??!!" but I dont see any changes for myself. I was telling my girlfriend about it and she also said I have lost alot. I personally dont feel that 10lbs is enough or alot. I haven't exercised much today just some walking around campus at college and some walking around at work. Im still hoping to get a Wii fit for my exercise.
Breakfast-
I actually forgot I didnt eat breakfast this morning until now.
Lunch-
Grilled Chicken salad with ranch on the side in a cup(this is a great tactic for not eating so much ranch!)
Supper-
I didn't eat anything for supper tonight and I hadnt planned on it. About 930 I went into the kitchen and someone had fixed some Stew with onions carrots and some roast. I got really hungry and ate some of the roast and some carrots and drank some of my skim milk. Im upset with myself for eating after 8. I feel really bad for doing it even tho it wasnt much.
