Strict Diet End of Week 2

Weight 356.4

63.6 down 156.4 to go.

Have something to say about Weight Watchers. IT is crap. I had the will power to stay on the starvation diet but my blood sugar soared on the diet. Forty four points of the food on the diet would send my blood sugar over 250.


Have been on a Primal no Sugar diet for 10 days now and have lost 7.6 pounds. Blood sugar has returned to 110-130 range which is very good for me. I have no hunger or problems sticking to the diet. Many thanks to Chris Girgis for recommending the diet.

Have been having problems with my knee again so no treadmill and only light duty around the house.

30th Birthday 2004

I have fallen off the wagon many times in this long Journey from 420 down to 200.  Here is a picture at my 30th Birthday which was about seven years ago.  I may have been more than 420 then but at the time I had no scale on which to weigh.  Check out the Coca Cola on the table.  This is just not good.  This picture makes me so mad.  I cannot believe what I did to my self.
 

Christmas 2004

Trip to Brazil

Weight 364.6

55.4 down 164.6 to go

Spent the last 10 days in Sao Paulo Brazil. Even thought the food there is probably some of the best in the world I was able to resist. As I was battling gout I only had two steaks and one small fish fillet the entire trip. The rest of the time I limited my carb intake and ate small portions with mostly cheese, lettuce, heart of palm and some artichoke hearts. I has some bread a a few bits of fried polenta and a few small servings of Gnocchi with four cheeses.

Was unable to do much exercise due to the gout and the amount of work required.

This means that I am 1.4 pounds heavier than on November 10, 2009. I am back on the wagon and using my new Wii to burn the calories. I have Dance Dance Revolution 3, Wii Sports and Resort Sports and The Biggest Loser games. I hope to post some videos of me doing the games as they progress.

It took me 2 min and 32 seconds to do 10 "Up Downs"

Was 369 at last post at December 16th so I have lost 3 pounds in about a month. Need to speed up the pace.

Love my new Doctor

After suffering with Gout for a week and missing some work because of it. I finally was forced into a dreaded doctors office.

All I have to say is

Best Visit Ever!

The first thing the diabetic councilor said was

Boy you are FAT.

Then we spent an hour going over food choices and strategies. She asked me what I had for breakfast. I could not lie and told her about the 5X McDonalds Sausage Biscuit and hash browns. Not missing a beat she reached into her desk and said if you continue to eat like this call this number.

It was for a Funeral Home! LOL. This is they type of doctor I need.

Current Weight 369.8
Current average blood sugar 211


So after some backsliding I gained back the 16 pounds I lost via the kidney stone episode.

So I have 170 to go and I have lost 30 pounds.

47 down 153 to go With - Amazing Weight Loss Plan

Had a horrible last three weeks dealing with some kind of virus and a 3mm kidney stone. All is well that ends well as I weighed in this morning at 353. This means I have lost another 17 pounds which is pretty good as from April to end of October I was stable in the 370-378 range.

Weight Update 30 Down 170 To Go

After a bout of gout followed up with kidney stones you think I would be in a bad mood. I was pretty depressed until I weighed in at 370 pounds a loss of 4 more pounds. I have been trying to only eat half of a meal at each meal and I have been pretty succussful. I was not able to get in the full portion of exercise over the last week due to the medical problems but the diet did come thru.



Well I plan on attending the Magic the Gathering prerelease on Saturday April 25th in Houston. I will let you all know what happens. Until then lets take a stroll down memory lane with old School Magic.

Still Holding at 374

I do not know what is happining. I am getting smaller and have much more energy but the weight has remained the same. I was able to maintain my heart rate over 128 on the treadmill/basketball court for almost an hour.

Oh well I guess I better redouble my efforts.

I have been blessed and had my second article posted on Seeking Alpha.
