Today is the day that..

I weigh in, but first lets talk about the intake and exercise, the intake for Thursday was a bit on the low side because I waited too long last night and it got later than I wanted to eat the remaining 200ish calories that I was allowed so I skipped them all together. calories came in at 1298 for the day and I had a very good dinner as you can see in my previous post. Exercise for the day was 20 minutes on the bike and 60 push ups so I feel good about that as well. Over all the day went well where intake and exercise are concerned.

Now to the weigh in, I did post when I hit 405 lbs because it was my half way mark and since it was a milestone I thought it worth an early weigh in post, but I wanted to keep the regular weigh in day post on par with the rest of the weigh ins so I hopped on the scale this morning to find that I indeed have lost an additional pound since the 405 showed up this week and came in at 404 pounds today, so that is a 6 pound drop from Last Friday, and with that extra pound it also means that I have lost more weight than I have remaining to lose. 130 pounds total has left my body since the beginning of the year and I honestly look at pictures even from just last Christmas and think to myself "how did I let it get so far" and the photos do not even look like me to me, so thats the weight for today.

This Honda shadow 500 weighs 404 lbs.


Maria Sharapova weighs in at 130 lbs which is what I have lost so far, and she happens to be my favorite female tennis player so I had to put her up here.

Here is the Menu from Thursday.

Grand total of 1298 calories for the day and I am down 6 pounds this week, I feel great and have been exercising all week and I think its to blame for the good drop this time around, well that and all of the hard work that went into meal preparation along with the commitment to better living that I have made with myself, things are looking good and I will be at my goal weight of 275 before I know it. let us cross our fingers for that last part there, but I do feel confident that it will happen. Thanks for reading.

  1. believe and achieve! how absolutely true in your case. WAY TO GO! Your story becomes more and more remarkable as the weeks and the pounds go by. I am very proud of your hard work and dedication. It clearly shows just how strong and passionate you are about your choices in life. There is so much info out there, and you have been able to stay focused and diligent.
    Your message has always been straight forward, and dare I say simple. I, myself always have tried to complicate it. Less calories, more exercise. I am back up 7 of the 15 lbs I lost, and all the while you have lost a tennis player off your body. WAY TO GO! TONY = SUCCESS.
    I hope to make my way back. See still hoping... that wont work for the long haul. I AM making changes in my life that will ultimately have me happy and healthy.
    Looking forward to photo's- I wonder if we would recognize you?? Keep in touch, I'm sorry for being such a stranger. Have a great weekend. This humidity is brutal.
