I wouldn't worry about what some yahoo on the internet says about you. As long as the people close to you have a good opinion of you, that's all that matters.

Just skimmed through your journal. Seems like your doing well and on the right track. Good luck!
 
I wouldn't worry about that other poster...you can't make everyone happy. You just have to do what you think is right.

Glad you're feeling better...now it's time to kick some tail this week!

Fit
 
I read up on wearing old clothes -- from over 2 years ago.. and i think that is awesome! That is the best feeling, and I get the most satisfaction out of that when I lose weight...

And that is a cool pic in Iraq. It must have been an experience.. :)

PS: I recently told a really close friend casually that I am around 370 lbs, and they wouldn't believe me. They were like "Oh, you are not in the 300s". And i'm sure you got the same response over time.. I'm just sayin, I think you are closer to your goal than you think! :)

Keep it up. And by the way, you will get negative comments from annonymous internet users all the time. There will always be negative comments, even if you are the best person in the world. You jsut have to understand that there are people with completely different perspectives on things, that come from a different place, and just accept that their values and your own do not line-up. That being said, their comments are just that, an opinion. Not fact, not truth. Just an opinion. So it ought to be that easy to just move on.. which i know is not sometimes. But I htink you know what i am trying to get to..

Anyways, much luck! Peace brotha! :)
 
It's been about a week since I updated. I really need to start updating more. So let's see what has been going on. First, weight is about 369-372. Why the range? Well I was 370 yesterday but I had something salty at dinner so it went up to 372. I'm sticking with 372 over the 370 cause it's the weight as of this morning. I will bust that 370 floor this week, so help me :)

Personally, things are good. I'm stuffed up to all hell but it's entering spring. I expected that to happen. Work is going well though the restructuring has made it a possibility I won't be going on the actual site now. I'd prefer that since it is a half hour off my drive.

Oh, and the forum has made me a mod. Considering how many links/spam I report along with being on ALL the time (life..where have you gone??), it was likely just easier than getting all those reports piling up.

So week goals will be dropping under 370, also avoiding any food that I would be eating in my car while driving. I've been a little lax on that and thus the weight loss overall has slowed a little. I will be at that 30 pound mark by next tuesday, I swear it.
 
Hey man, i'm exactly where you are too!!! you are close to the 30 lb mark, i know its attainable! You know it too ;)

Congrats Jericho! Well deserved! I've noticed a recent rise in spammers around here, so its nice to have an extra set of eyes to take em down!

Fuck the haters, man. You're not a mod suckup at all. And I love how honest you are in your posts. And holyfuckkk you've been doing well since I last checked your journal! Awesome :D Hope you're good !!
 
MONTHLY REPORT
Start: 374
End: 367.8
Goal: 360

OVERALL: 32.2 pounds

*blows the dust off the diary*

Well, three months down and 32.2 down! I just kinda missed my goal of the month (by .8) but that is fine with me. I'm feeling great. I'm wearing some clothes that wouldn't even button when I started. Amy says she can really notice the difference when she hugs me. I'm in 7 notches in my belt when it wasn't long enough when I got it. I'm feeling great and my modivation hasn't slowed in the least.

I still have the urges to eat sometimes when I shouldn't. I don't know if it ever will really go away but I've been better at it. Wendy's still try to suck me in lol.

Life is good though. I'm on a pace to get under 350 by June. You have no idea how impossible that felt to me. Ok, I bet you do. I've never lost this much weight. I'd get discouraged. I'd get sidetracked. I've never been so focused and I have to thank this forum and Amy for it. Amy even lost a few pounds helping me.

I don't feel starved. I've eaten the things I like just smarter and not as much. I really think this might finally be it. I really think I can make it all the way this time.
 
Hey Jericho where did you go? It's not like you to not be lurking around. We are missing your weigh-in for the BL challenge - hope you haven't dropped out!! It's now Wednesday!
 
9 day challenge

Ok. I don't know if I hit a wall. I don't know if I've become too relaxed on things but I've bobbed between 365-373 for almost a month now. So..let's see if we can break this. 9 days left in the month with a current morning weight of 268 so my goal is 2 pounds in 9 days. I'm more hopeful for 3 but that might be unrealistic so even 2 pounds will work.

It's more about getting back to brass tacks here. I'm going back to what was working so I'm going back to the food diary for this time.

Here we go..

DAY 1
Bowl of Special K (1 and half servings)
Milk
lots of tea sweetened with splenda
1 diet lime coke
2 greek yogurt with strawberries (240)
1 diet Dr. Pepper
1 large salad with about 2 TB of dressing (I shake it to spread it)
1 slice of buffalo chicken pizza

Start: 367.8
End: 363.6
Goal: 357

I'll add more to it later. I just wanted to put down the results. Considering that I was at a wall for like 3 weeks, finally breaking it to get to a 4 pound loss this month feels great. I wore a shirt I haven't wore in 1 and a half years.
 
Hi Jerico, my PM doesn't work, since I am here only for two days. And the
answer is no. That thing you mentioned in your PM, was a little hobby I was trying, and has nothing to do with my posts here. Why do you ask?
 
Ok. Not sure why your PM doesn't work but I will say this...I saw your site. If you want to give free information, fine.

Just don't start linking that e-book that was being sold.
 
First of all, that site was a hobby that I was working on, and currently I am
selling it, plus if you go and try to buy that e-book that you or someone else
is so afraid off, you will not be able to buy it, because it is not linked to a
shopping cart. I deleted my account a month ago, when I started selling
the site. It was something I wanted to do, to share free information with
people that have problems losing weight, and if you looked more carefully, you
would see that there are over 500 free articles on the site with high quality
information. And, what do you mean about not the good type of questions
that you are being asked?

I am posting here for one reason, and one reason only. Because I want to,
and not because I have something to sell. If the information that I am posting
for free, during the little free time that I have will not be valuable to anyone,
then I will stop posting.

Anyway, if you want to see if I am here to help because I am simply a good
person, and was fortunate enough to have a good friend who many years ago
helped me to open my eyes and start to see why I reached 285 pounds,
then you can ask me any questions about weight loss that you have, and
I will help you to answer all of them in the nearest future.

But, you have to be ready for the brutal truth, because that is the only thing
that works in the long run. I wished that there was another way, but there
isn't. Just like in Matrix, many people want to be Neo, but in reality they
are like that guy that sold him out to get back into his illusion of eating
stakes, even if that will not be in reality, but only in his imagination!!!

...I hope you are not like that!
 
yeah..

As I said, long as you aren't sending people to that site or breaking the rules, I'm not going to say anything.
 
Okay, and by the way, I was told what happened in my diary, and I pretty
much understood what the problems was. It will take a little while for me
to become a "part" of the community, but I am sure it is something that can
be learned quite quickly. Anyway, thanks for the honesty, and good to see
that there are folks on here that are looking out for people that might try to
sell something by posting and then putting links to their products.
 
Lost my way

Well, I've lost my way. After reaching 357, I shot back up to 367. I have been working my way down slowly and it's at 365. I've done some reflection and realized that I've gotten so lax in my diet and focus that I have started slipping back into old bad habits. At work, I've stopped eating salads and been getting food that I know isn't good choices. I have had some relationship problems with Amy that got me emotionally eating. We have worked those out so that is better. I think most of it was simply having less focus.

It is time to start right back up. So, back to basics.

CURRENT WEIGHT: 365
WEEKLY GOAL WEIGHT: 363


Start her up cause I'm back on the road. :auto: I got a Wii and has been starting to do thinks like the Wii Resort just to get some extra movement in. A few hours of playing off and on so far this weekend has my body sore. That's a good thing.

So, no more 'goodies', no more eating downstairs at the cafeteria for lunch. I have to make it this week.
 
Morning Jericho!

Just wanted to say hi and am catching up in your journal.

Also would like to thank you for a great job you are doing as a mod. I don't think I've ever been to a site when forums have gone soooo smoothly! Well done.

Good luck with your goals and am really looking forward to your progress now that I found your journal!!!

Stay focused and stay strong!

Take care!
