Here are the results of my 1st week on the plan:
- Current weight: 260.5 lbs
- Weight Lost: 4.5 lbs since 1/1/09
- Body Fat %: 29.9% (down .5%)
Some interesting notes about this week of weight loss:
- I was able to eat out at red lobster one day and eat a normal dinner (I ordered the broccoli with my crab leg dinner)
- I ate out at taco bell one evening for dinner
- I counted calories every day using an access database I developed several weight loss endeavours ago. It is now quite handy and easy to use.
- I went to the gym 2 mornings.
- I planned my meals ahead of time and stuck to my plan.
These several things really helped me to stay on track. They work well for me and I have always found that when I actually make the effort to count my calories that i get far better results than just trying to work out.
TODAY'S STATS
Calories: 2645

Total Weight Lost: 4.5 lbs since 1/1/09
Congratulations on making it through your first week. Don't worry about not losing weight some days, as your body was probably shocked by the 5 pound weight loss and will fight it for a few days.
ReplyDeleteAlso congratulations on not giving in to any temptations. I do a pretty good job of not eating too much, but sometimes I'll just get really hungry and eat 3,000 calories of ice cream or cake or chex mix after dinner.
Also if you're open to suggestions, I just ordered a Sansa MP3 player thats really small but holds 4 GB of music and it's pretty cheap (50 bucks or so, in case the zune is too big or expensive). It's great for exercise and I've heard lots of good things about it.
Sorry, the MP3 player is called the Sandisk Sansa Clip.
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement. I will look into the Sansa.
