Week 12: Weigh-in Results!

I am pleased to announce that I officially hit the 50 pound lost mark this week.  I now am down 52 pounds in 12 weeks...that's so awesome!

I now have my sights set on the 230 mark..which in all reality should be attainable by July...so maybe I should rename this blog 230byJuly or something..but either way, I'm well on my way to hitting the goal I set out for myself.

In fact, I have been watching my health improve as well...  my blood pressure is back within normal range, I no longer get frequent headaches, and I wake up with energy vs. feeling like I've been hit by a train.  It's all good...I mean GREAT!

Our personal training sessions are done now with Mark, so I will have to ramp up my own workouts to incorporate some of the things he taught us and to challenge myself physically in ways that running, eliptical, biking, or lifting just doesn't do.   I am planning on joining a Plyometrics class in June though - which should be great fun!

So long for now!  Please leave me feedback if you can..I'd love to improve my blog so it can be more helpful to others!

Weekly results - Week 11, May 17, 2011!

I'm a little late with this week's update, but I do have great news!  This week I was able to lose 6 more pounds and now I'm down to 252, total loss at 49 pounds in 11 weeks.  I am so excited for my accomplishment thus far and have no desire to slow down at all.  My workouts are getting tougher, my body is getting used to eating healthy, and I'm starting to feel much better about myself!  This is GREAT!

I can't wait to be able to say I've hit the 50 pound mark...next Tuesday, hopefully.

Adios

Weekly Results: Week 10 - May 10, 2011

This weeks results somewhat disappointed me.  I thought I would have a 3-4 pound loss on the scale...but to my surprise, I was only down 2 pounds.  Although it is frustrating to work so hard to only get 2 pounds loss, it's still a loss and I HAVE to be proud of that accomplishment.  Besides, I am now in the 250's...a mark I haven't been in for decades..so that is very cool!  I might try changing up my workout a little this week and try eating a little differently - perhaps eating more for breakfast and having a morning snack...we'll see.

For now, I will aim at 3 pounds next week...and enjoy the fact that my hard work has brought me this far - 43 pounds down since March 1st!  How cool is that?

Cheers!

First time I can remember wearing clothes from Aero. I usually have to find clothes at Big and Tall stores. Very fun. Waist at 38 down from 48. Shirt size XL down from XXL

Weekly Results are in!

I'm not sure what's going on in my head... I thought for sure I would not be losing any weight this week.  Perhaps I'm just a little worried for the first time I will not be able to see any fruits of my labor, but yet again, I'm amazed at the results!  Another 3 pounds this week.  It's hard to believe that just 2 short months ago, I was over 300 pounds and living a lifestyle that would ultimately kill me.  Now, I can run a mile (something that I couldn't even do in high school), limit my food intake, and feel good about the things I've accomplished in such a short time.
I look forward to so much this summer...including getting behind the boat doing some waterskiing - I've been unable to truly enjoy that sport for years since I was so big.  I think my abs are getting strong enough to even kneeboard.  I'm also going to partake in a few races this summer.  Next week, there's a 1 mile race in Minneapolis (the TC 1 Mile).  I'm going to do it!  I've never thought about running before, but for some reason, it just feels like something I need to do. 
So here are the results:  3 pounds lost this week.  Current weight as of May 3: 260.  Total weight lost to date:  41 pounds!
Thanks for the support!
