I had a good day yesterday and today. No cheating, as a matter of fact I think I did excellent in watching my carbs. My last meal today was before 7 pm which I am very proud. I really believe that curbing your meals before 7 pm also helps in weight loss. Another tip is to brush your teeth after dinner and never eat anything else for the rest of the evening after you brush. It’s sort of a stop sign. Did I brush yet? Yes? I’m done until the morning.

As for my weight I am up .4 lbs but that could be anything from water weight to a thousand other things. As long as I stay on track, the weight will come off. I am expecting a loss in the morning because I had a really good day.

My wisdom of the day: No matter what diet plan you are on. No matter if it’s low-fat or low-carb, donuts don’t measure up to anyone’s diet plan. If you do have a craving for a donut, just eat the center.

Weight: 268.6 lbs

I took my last photo on May 15th at 274 lbs. This morning I am happy to report that I am now 268 lbs. Still a long way to go but I hope that I am done seeing 270’s for good. Every thing has been going as planned and I have not cheated or felt the need to cheat.

This evening I purchased some cheap steaks from Kroger’s and a <1g per tsp marinade. I grilled it and then added a little A1 steak sauce at 3g per tsp. I use to purchase a 1g A1 steak sauce and need to see if they still make it.

I have my eye set on the 250’s. At this rate it is just a few weeks away.

Weight: 268.2 lbs

Well, it’s been just about 6 days and I’ve lost 5 pounds reverting back to my low carb diet. I am starting to feel really good about this and there are times in the day when I get excited with anticipation of my pending weight loss. You know the old saying “Never count your chickens before they hatch”. I can just see my self slim and trim again.

I have actually lost over 10% of my weight loss goal to 199 lbs already from my high of 278.8 lbs. It’s hard to believe that in less than 2 weeks I could knock off 10%. If that held true then I could hit goal as early as 3 1/2 to 4 months from now. That would be sweet!

One thing that does worry me is loose skin. I know that I am not 500 pounds but I still am wanting to lose 75 lbs. I hope that my body can shrink enough that I will not have to worry about excessive skin like others have commented about. I’ll worry about that later but right now I am starting to get on a natural high.

My first short term goal is to get past the 262 lb mark I set just a month and a half ago. Actually breaking into the 250’s would be fantastic. I had a decent day today and had pork chops for dinner so let’s see how tomorrow goes with the weigh in.
