I was weighing in at 300lbs at some point in my life. I managed to lose 100lbs in about 8 months. I did it by eating less. I still ate all the foods I normally ate, I just ate less amounts of it. Then, I would go to the gym every day. About an hour of weights with about 30 minutes running on the treadmill. On weekends, I would mix it up and ride my bike instead. Eventually I met someone who distracted me from the workouts. And you get comfortable and the weight slowly started coming back. I've been lingering around 245 pounds now for some time. I decided last week that enough is enough. So, the gym it was. I've been going religiously now for just under 2 weeks.
Since I don't like to cheat myself of all the yummy food society has to offer, this past week's lunch diet included Taco Bell, Burger King twice, Pizza and Garlic Rolls. Also included little pieces of cakes and sweets for dessert. You'd think I'd be gaining weight right? Negative my friends! For one, I would eat a very light dinner figuring I ingested enough calories at lunch to cover me for the whole day. Second, I've also been spending an hour and a half in the gym everyday. All of this hard work seems to be paying off. I just stepped on the scale and it came in at 240.5 pounds. Just over my 240 pound goal that I wanted to be at by tomorrow.
Lucky for me, I am off today. And my plans include going to the gym this morning. I also don't have any plans for this evening so I will probably return to the gym for a second workout. All I need to lose in one day is a half pound and I would be able to hit my 240lb mark for sure!

weight watchers is a good thing. it works pretty well for me. it would work a whole hell of a lot better if i would actually get up off my ass and do some exercise. I have to be on some structured diet, otherwise I'll never lose weight.
