Monday evening

Evidently when I eat to much salt and don't drink enough water I retain water like crazy. Did a bonus weigh in today and was shocked at my number, 287.5...at least for now I am sub-290 and that feels good

Friday:

Another week is in the books...this week I didn't hit my 1 pound goal...I actually stayed the same weight.  Now I got to take the bad with the good and keep going toward my goal.

Week 2 is in the books!

Alright...Week 2 is officially in the books and I am glad to report that it was another good week for me!  Current weight is sitting at 292.5  so I made my goal for the week!  Currently I am averaging 1.5 pounds per week. Now I just need to get back to the gym on a consistent basis, I didn't do a good job of that this week!

Extra Post this week:

Ok so I was feeling nostalgic today and I looked at the very first blog post I did on August 24th, 2009.
Below is an exerp from that post:
---------------------------------------
 "My plan is to get myself under 300 lbs within the next year...so i have to lose 65 lbs in 365 days or 1.24 lbs every 7 days. My long-term goal is 265...but i am not thinking of that quite yet."
-----------------------------------------------
Man how things change in 1 year and 5 months.  Here I now sit at 293 and 265 is very much in my radar.  It seems like an eon ago that I was at 367.

Week 1 is in the books!

Alright week one was a good week for me, but then again it was bad in some ways as well!  I didn't get to the gym as much as i wanted (which is the bad) but my weight went down 1.3 pounds.  So I am currently sitting at 293.7 pounds which is ahead of my weekly goal!

I decided to try out a new site for counting calories.  I liked hotcal.com  but I was drawn to the brighter lights of a larger company.  I decided to go with myfitnesspal.com and so far it has been really good.  they have an app for my android power phone and it has a lot of features that other sites just don't have and for free!

If anyone is looking for a good site to count calories that has a mobile app for iphone / android www.myfitnesspal.com is a good place to go! You can join here -> myfitnesspal.com

New Year and Rededication:

Alright so I have not been posting nearly as much as I have wanted to over the last several weeks for a lot of different reasons, most of them being laziness.  As of today I am sitting at 294 and I need to refocus so I can finish my journey to my final weight goal of 265.
 I am going to keep my original goal of August 24th 2011 to finish this weight loss journey and to be able to transition to my weight maintenance journey which I plan on having to be on for the rest of my life here on earth!

August 24th is 206 days or 29 weeks and 3 days away and I need to lose approximately 30 lbs to reach my goal.So this math is really difficult on this one...basically I need to lose 1 lb per week. So here is to a New Years resolution to keep going with what I started on August 24th, 2009 and completing it by August 24th, 2011

I also am going to be posting once per week and weighing in only once per week...each will occur on Friday!
