For me, going on a full carb-less diet is like telling a mouse to quit cheese cold Colby — it’s just not gonna happen for this guy. But I am cutting back on the carbs in any way possible. And that includes attempting… DUN DUN DUNNNNNN… trying out the lettuce wrap. Here’s the thing: I […]

Well it came sooner than I expected, but this week I hit the Dreaded Plateau of very little weight loss. In fact, I only lost 1 measly pound ( I am at 260 even). I really wanted to break under the 260 mark but not this week. I was religious with my routine of workouts […]

This week hasn’t gone so well. Last week I managed to lose 5 lbs with a gun-shot start but this week is a total slump. I managed to lose, but the way I feel isn’t in line. It sneaks up on you. Like a shark circling it’s weight loss goal with fervor but then realizing […]

You see this guy? That was me a year and a half ago. 375 pounds of big squishy man. That was before I started the year-long weight loss challenge in 2011 and dropped over 100 pounds of it. The result was a slightly less squishy man, and certainly a healthier one. Fast forward to today. […]

I have been focusing so much on my food intake that this week I thought it would be a good idea to concentrate on something different. In the past, through Weight Watchers, I tracked my activity points on my tracker. The points I earned were figured out by looking at my current weight, how long […]

My third week started off great, got a little bumpy in the middle and ended on a high note. In the beginning of the week, I helped to celebrate my best friend’s birthday, which wasn’t that great diet wise, but so much fun and was a special occasion so I didn’t feel too guilty about […]

Weight Watchers is a fantastic plan for those of us who value our favorite unhealthy foods greatly and do not want to give them up entirely. While I have a strong desire to eat perfectly (e.g. eating primarily vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats in small quantities and at set times in the day […]

She first showed up in 1996 and would hang around for a bit but would always return unexpectedly, here and there. Over the years she would make more and more appearances, till April 2007 she became my constant companion. It was like I had no choice in the matter. SHE decided she was going to […]

Although my first two weeks got off to really good start, I have had a load of obstacles this week. My number one obstacle was fatigue — this horrible feeling is coming in after some major sleep deprivation. My husband works a job that requires the alarm clock going off at 6 a.m. on the […]

One pound down. Only one pound down. I’m not going to lie, I’m not too happy about this. After last week’s impressive four pound drop and my continued pumped up exercise routine, I was expecting a much bigger number. As much as I try to be positive, this was a set back. I actually had […]
