The long road to self

I began my "diet" on June 6th of this year. My begining weight was 276.2. :eek: I have been going to my local hospitals weight management program called optifast. It is a 960 cal "liquid" diet for 12 weeks followed by 8 week where they help you reintroduce food. And then there is a 26 week maintenance period. After I have completed the 46 weeks, I have free access to their help for as long as I want to come back.

Things are going great so far! I have lost 18.4lbs as of yesterday. One thing I had to deal with over the week end was that I did not drink enough water on Saturday. I usually drink 64-77oz each day and I only drank 11oz on Saturday. not to mention I spent a lot of time outside at yard sales. I had aweful, uncontrolable chills and then I spiked a 103 temp throught the night into Sunday morning. After I began drinking water I felt so much better. And I am back on track this week. I really need to stay focused even when life gets busy.
 
I think Oprah did that diet once but re-gained the weight. I hope you do well. Try and post often, we're here for support!
 
CN, I wish you the best of luck with the optifast program! :D Congrats on your loss to date! Thats wonderful :D

Dehydration can do some mean things to ya so be sure to get in enough water every day - as you've found out. Stop in and post every day or as often as you are able and we'll help you stay focused and give the support essential to success :D

Have a great day! :D
 
Good Luck Nanny,

I admire your courage for selecting this method. I hope you get the results that make you happy. ;)
 
Sorry

I am not able to write every day right now. I only work three days per week and my computer at home is not in service right now.:( I am doing pretty well this week. I have lost a total of 19lbs so far. I have been able to play some volleyball with church friends the past two weeks so that is a lot of fun. I will try to write more tomorrow. I have had a long day at weight loss today and would really like to get home.
 
End of week 4!

Today marks the end of week four. Only eight more weeks and then... FOOD!!!! I am very happy with the results and I am having no problems sticking with the restrected eating, I just am getting a little tired of all the monotony. Oh well, I had some great things happen in the last week. I was at two birthday parties one of which was my nieces first birthday and I stuck with my food and did not cheat. Also on Friday, my husband and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean Deadman's Chest. Which by the way is awesome! And I did not get any junk food! Yeah me!! And last Wednesday, I bought a new shirt and I was able to buy an 18/20:D instead of a 22/24:eek: ! Slowly but surly, I am shrenking out of my clothes!

I get my weight in tomorrow so I will try to let you all in on the :rolleyes: good news:rolleyes:
 
Wow and good for you for sticking to your food and not giving in to temptation. *applauds*

You are doing an amazing job!!!
 
Great job on going to a movie without getting junk :) I went to a movie tonight... ummm. yeah. Popcorn and chocolate... my stomach hates me right now...

Looking forward to getting to know ya more!!
 
Back home again in Indiana...

Wow! What a long weekend! We got home last night from Michigan. We had a lot of fun hanging out with friends and family. We went to a youth rally, and graduation party and a birthday party in two days!! And no cheating! At the youth rally, we played baseball and I played catcher! Boy does my right arm hurt!:( Oh well, it is a good hurt though. I also got to go swiming yesterday at Metro beach. Yuck! I was covered in sand and sea weed!:eek: I could not wait to get home a get a shower. I felt so much better! Now I just need to catch up on my sleep.I go for my weight in tomorrow and I really hope that I am under the 250 mark! That is my hope. I will try to get to a computer to let you all know what is going on in my "long road to self."


Until next time. Keep your mood up and your weight down! :p

My goal list

OH Wow!!! I just realized that I have less than 100 lbs to go to my over all goal!!!! I have broken down my goals to be steping stones to my final and over all goal. MY first goal is to reach 50lbs. And I am well on my way to that goal. My next goal is to get below 220lbs, because that is the lowest I can remember weighing as an adult. My third goal is to reach 200lbs! Followed by 175lbs and lastly 150 to 145lbs! It really does not seam that far away when I make smaller goals to reach. I know it will take time, but I can do this. I am doing this!

I am also down to four weeks left in phase 1!! I am fighting really hard with myself to decide if I waould extend if I am given the chance. I am really getting tired of the, shall I say, lack of food. It's not that I am hungry I am just ready to get to eat good food again. Is that wrong? I guess I will try to remember to talk to someone tomorrw at the weigh in.

Well I am done boreing you for now. Hope your day is filled with watermellon and sun shine!
