Teresa's Diary

I'm new to this weight-loss diary thing but, here goes. I joined weight-loss.fitness.com a couple of months ago. I wasn't as serious as I should have been. I think I weighed in at 297 lbs. Then came the holidays... I beefed up even further to an astounding 306.4 lbs. I'd like to say that I can't believe I got over 300 pounds but, I know what I was eating and how little I was moving. It was a huge wake-up call though. Since then, I've been eating a lot better. Lots of fruits and veggies and no soda or fast food. I've also been trying to be more active. I'm really excited about getting healthier. As of this morning, I weigh 295.6 lbs. If I count from when I joined I've lost about 1.5 pounds. If I count from a month ago, I've lost almost 11 pounds. Either way, I'm happy to be losing! :)

I've been trying to figure out how much weight I should lose. I'm thinking about another 115 pounds... That's a lot to take in. It would overwhelm me if I let it. I know I can do it though. For now, I'm going to shoot for 280 pounds by March 24th. That's only 15.6 lbs. and seems a lot more manageable.

Realistically, my family is not going to be very supportive so, I'm going to be looking toward some of my co-workers and the people on this site for support. My boyfriend says he wants to join me in my effort and is trying to start by giving up soda. He's roughly 400 lbs. and not particularly motivated to change that. I absolutely love him the way he is but, I'm worried about him. If he will just stick with giving up soda, I think he'll feel a lot better. We went bowling recently and he says he'd like to go again. :)

I slipped up a bit today and ate a few chips with lunch. Luckily I stopped at a few. Still, I wish I hadn't.

Hey hun! Good job with the weight loss so far! 11 pounds is GREATTT! :) WOOHOO.

Good luck with the rest of your journey! KEEP US UPDATED! :)

Well, I'm feeling pretty great today! I actually got myself out of bed half an hour earlier than usual to exercise. I'm pretty stiff and sore when I wake up but, the beginner belly dance video really helps to warm the joints up and get the blood pumping. Like usual, I brought my own lunch to work. The difference is, today I'm chewing sugar free gum instead of snacking all day. :) It's a good day.
 
Wow, I got up early again this morning to exercise. It really seems like a great way to start the day. I had a lot more energy yesterday than I'd had in a while. I'm feeling great today too!
For breakfast, I had a banana wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla spread with a tablespoon of Nutella (I know, bad choice) and a glass of low fat milk. I'm going to try to write down everything I eat... even if it wasn't a good idea to eat it. Maybe if you all get to read what I eat, I'll be less likely to eat things I shouldn't.
 
Hello and welcome aboard. I too just started journaling on here. It seems to be a good way to get stuff out emotionally. And your right, keeping a food journal, even if its not on here, is a great tool. I've been keeping one, and just knowing I have to write something down has already stopped me from eating it! It really makes you aware of what is going in your body! Good luck, and good job so far!! Your on the right track, and mini-goals is the way to go for sure.
