So I was asked by a few how to explain how I lost the first 33lbs. Well to be honest I had lost 40lbs but gained some of my weight back over the holidays. My journey began in March when I just decided buying larger clothes was not an option. Something had to be done. So I began looking on line and for a few months attempted to count points. It was my own adapted version of Weight Watchers because I was not paying for the program. After a while I ran in to the web site Livestrong.com, they have a great program that lets you search through food and count calories. This was when my weight loss really started because I was able to see I was really eating to many calories and not burning enough. So I started walking. After a while I decided to start adding some jogging to the mix to keep things a little difficult.
It's amazing how easy weight loss is if you just watch what you eat and get of your @$$. But there in also lays the problem. Some time around thanksgiving I stopped. The lady I was walking with gave up on her weight loss journey and I just stopped walking. After a while I stopped logging my food. I'm not sure why accountability to someone else meant so much, but it turns out it did. So that's why I have decided to start this blog. Maybe some of my friends, and some strangers who stumble in will help me on my journey.

ReplyDeleteThis is what happened to me previously. My wife and I were making progress and she stopped walking. I went a few weeks longer, then I quit.
I'm not quitting now! I'm in it for me (and them really, but it has to be about you first). Keep on walking!
