Under 400--yippee!
 

Ha ha--it's a bit ironic to be happy about weighing 393 pounds I suppose, but after six weeks of 1500 cal days (which I find is a pretty comfortable limit) I can now weigh on my 400 lb. limit scale. Goal number one is to hit 299 by 09/05, which is four months since starting my new eating plan on 05/05. I'll need to lose 5.7 lbs a week which is high, but I think doable.

For any of you in a similar situation, remember that we only need to lose one pound which is easy. Then repeat it 200 times. :D

That's great and it sounds like you have you mind set for success. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. We're pulling for you.

sounds good congrads I understand the fustration I have togo to my doctors office only place I can weigh

Weigh-in for the week--388.5 so down 4.5 lbs for the week. :)

Congratulations! You seem determined so I know you'll get there. :)

congrats. It's amazing what we can do when we commit to change!

update
 

what about you still making progress?

Cap'n, thanks for asking. Yes, have been doing pretty well--keeping close on average to my cal limit. I only weigh in once a week on Saturday morning and I plan to update this thread weekly with my progress.

Have been trying to get more exercise--I'm abusing our Wii Fit board (330 lb. limit) but it seems to be holding up so far--ha ha--it is a good low impact workout.

Regards,
Michael

good deal
 

good to hear you getting in the exercise very important to transition and my nephew got the wii hadn't seen pad yet if you at limit then I would destroy it but I know it is a workout much different from video games of my day sittin on but playing madden 95 lol

keep up the good work though and keep me updated on the lose you are a motivation to me to keep going

Weekly weigh-in this morning--384.5, so another four pounds down :) I went over my 1500 a couple times this week so that's not bad (including too much steak last night (11oz !) and a couple of beers :eek:.

Hope you all have a safe and fun 4th!
