Down 46lbs so far...feeling better every day! Eating right + exercise works!

50 Days - WOW how time flies. It is going great! I've lost 31lbs as of Friday 03/04/16. I feel soo much better already but can't wait until I look back on this in 6 months, then 1 year etc etc. I'm just taking it day by day, I've not been perfect but stayed steady and honest with myself. I joined a gym on 03/01 and was…

WHEW! Today was my "worst" day yet but I was still under my calorie goal. My Buddy and I smoked 350 Chicken Leg Quarters for a church fundraiser. I was up at 3am with chicken on the smoker by 4am. Started the day badly with McDonald's (always a bad choice basically) The smoked chicken isn't bad and tastes amazing but the…

3 weeks in! - 15lbs down!! There have been ups and downs... I've only cheated a little (I ate a small piece of B-day cake on my daughters 8yr Bday... But I did not eat 2 or 3 pieces with Ice Cream :-) . I have only ate red meat 1 time in 3 weeks. I've ate only chicken and fish, no pork AND I LOVE PORK. I have only drank…

Going good. Working on expanding my foods. Picked up a bunch of Tuna, chicken and veggies. - I can handle salads, wraps and I'm really not picky so its just about breaking the old habits and starting new ones. Reading more labels when grocery shopping and planning meals ahead of time. I'm just learning and getting started…

2 weeks in... This weekend was great! LOTS of walking on Saturday and a jam packed busy Friday. I've held strong.. Learning to adapt. I did eat my first red meat in 2 weeks but I'm still holding strong on the pop. I'm going to hit the scale in the morning and believe it will tell me my weight. I've had a person that did…

Days? - 10 Days Down Has it been perfect? NO Describe your "days" in 2 words - HUGE SUCCESS! Am I determined- YES Will I quit - NO Hardest Part - 1hr commute (each way) to work Easiest Part - Cutting out Pop, nothing to it for me. Do I feel better - ABSOLUTLY Support- My Wonderful Wife, Children, Parents, Church Family and…

Monday! Here we go... PUMPED UP! about to Kill it this week! Let's Do this! its like a determination bomb just exploded! I could run through a wall. WHEW! :-) Oh Yeah! Fired Up!

I too am OVERWHELMED by the support! It has made my 1st week of the new normal MUCH easier. As I finish out day 6 I know it's only 6 days, but it's went so quick! 1 Dat at a time. I'm ready too see my weight!... my scale goes up to 559lbs it ALMOST doesn't error out now. I honestly think I was 570lbs or more when I…

I'm finishing up Day 5. Things are going good. My 8yr old girl has been making me some smoothies looking up recipes online. :-) This week has been about out with the old and in with the new. Old Habits out, New habits in. Old unhealthy groceries out, new veggies and healthy snacks in. Old me out... new me in! I'm…

Day 1 - 64oz Day 2 - 64oz Day 3 - 48 oz Day 4 - Will get to 64oz

On Day 4, Not sure if its getting easier or harder. Bought a vegetable steamer. Changing the meals we eat at home seems to be the hardest... All Good though - No Stopping!

Good Stuff! Thanks Everyone.

Day 3... hasn't been bad. Been a little grumpy - lol Need to boost up my exercise a little within the next week or two.

Thanks for all the great advice and words of encouragement. Its good to hear from people who have already traveled this road.

Thanks for all the kind words and support. I've always been a big guy, 6'5 and big built but the past 8 years have been a downhill slope. Just gotta turn it around and start climbing back up - I didn't gain my weight in a day, month or year, so I can't expect to lose it that quick. This is stuff I know and believe, just…

Thanks Man! We got this! :smile: 1 day at a time....
