I think I have one of my brothers on board, lets just call him P-dawg. He knows about my weight loss efforts to date - at least I have told him about what I have been doing and how much weight I have lost in the last six months (as of today, I have lost 21 pounds).

He has been instructed to get off his duff (so to speak) and stick with a 30 day plan of not eating after dinner. He told me about the grand plans he knows he *should* be doing, its just that he hasn’t done it.

I am speaking from experience when I say I know exactly what he is talking about. Too much pie-in-the-sky plans - plans that are too big - are keeping him from even getting started. I told him that come June 1st, he needs to stop eating after dinner for the next thirty days. And in case you are wondering, I am his older brother and I’ll tell him what he needs to hear, thank you very much.

So here’s to P-dawg and the lost poundage!

Just because I haven’t been diligent about writing doesn’t mean I haven’t been losing weight.

I have.

It’s just that I have been sick for a week+.  I have some “crud” that is running me down.  I feel hot, tired and worn out; not a good way to be.

The one benefit about being sick is that I don’t feel like eating

After 13 months of livin’ la vida low-carb, Darleen lost a grand total of 75.5 pounds! That was about 5-6 pounds per month (just a little more than a pound a week!) that she credits her desire to stick with her commitment.

Where Am I?

I think my thirty day goal of not eating any desserts for the month of May 2007 is working.  I’m actually down a few pounds from April.  If you recall, April was the first month in five months that I didn’t lose at least 4 pounds.  Now that I have made the conscientious goal of refraining from that after dinner delight called “dessert” I am finding myself able to “go hungry” for longer.

It’s not that I “couldn’t” go hungry for an extended period of time, it’s just that it wasn’t at the front of my memory.  My thirty day goals tend to bring out the best - simply because I know that after thirty days I can toss them out if I want, like the sit ups and push ups I had to do for March and April of this year.  I’m sure I will add those back into my routine, just not with the daily monotony that I scheduled them to be.

If you have been reading this online weight loss diary of mine for any length of time, you realize that I am big on having goals.  Not just any goals, but ones that are specific and measurable AND public for the same reasons mentioned as number 27 here - accountability.

What’s your goal?

Lose Weight Every Day

Hear me out.

That 167.4 lbs that I weighed last week seems to be a fluke. I’m fine with that though.

I thought it was strange that I lost 3 pounds overnight. I did a difficult bike ride the night before, so I figured that I might lose a little weight, just not 3 pounds though.

What followed wasn’t surprising either. I gained it right back. The next day I weighed 169.0, then 169.4, then … hold on to your hat for this one, 171.6 lbs. Not sure how that happened. And today I am at 170.2 lbs.

One thing I am more aware of now is how what I eat really does impact how much I weigh. In my previous life, i.e. - before the lifestyle change, I thought nothing of eating what I wanted when I wanted. My thinking was “who cares, I can lose weight whenever I want”. With that thinking, there was never a serious effort put into reducing my weight and living a healthier lifestyle. Mind you, my health wasn’t that bad, it just wasn’t that great either. Not until my father came to visit over the Thanksgiving weekend, 2006 did I realize that I needed to do something RIGHT NOW.

I love my dad. I don’t like his health. And I don’t want to be in the shape he is … ever. When my father was visiting, we went for a very short walk around the neighborhood. He was sweating like a horror in church in no time. I could see myself becoming my father (and it’s not like I wasn’t already). And in an instant, I decided to change. Yes, in an instant. On November 30th, 2006, I started on what has been a five and a half month journey to better fitness.

So here I am now, 20 pounds lighter and still losing weight.
