Three Months and 41 Pounds later. . .

I had my final weigh-in today at the MACC. I started on January 2 at 318lbs. Today I weighed in at 277lbs.!! I can pick up my check for $410, which I am donating to our trip to Hungary in June, on Saturday. I want to continue to loose weight, however, I went directly to Cruiser's Cafe and had a Super (double cheese burger with lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, and pickles) a small order of fries, a bag of chips and a dish of Moose Tracks ice cream! They said on America's Biggest Loser that you should have a cheat day. Today was mine! Anyway, thanks to all who gave me encouragement throughout the past three months. I will continue to update about how much more I loose. I will be weighing in in front of the youth each Wednesday night.

3 Pounds This Week - Hungry for Hungary

I lost three more pounds this week! Look for a longer post in the morning.  

Added Thursday morning:

I started on January 2 at 321 pounds and have now lost 42 pounds!  I have to officially weigh in at the MACC before the end of March, so I can't be sure exactly what the total amount will be until then.  I plan to continue to weigh in each week in front of the Youth.  I would love to continue to loose more weight.  Thanks to all who have encouraged me with comments and words.  That was more helpful than you may ever know.  

Four tenths is still four dollars

I don't know why this didn't post when I emailed from my phone ? ? ? Maybe it will sometime? Anyway, four tenths of a pound is better than nothing and I was happy that I even lost that much as bad as I did during my trip. If you think about it, .4 of a pound is still $4.00 toward our trip. Every little bit helps! I will do much better next week.

Three More Pounds

After a sub-par week of my diet, I was still able to salvage three pounds lost! The weekend really killed me. I was really hoping to to be sub 290. I guess I will take this.

am pretty pleased. Ten more weeks to go. I can't wait for next
week I hope to be below 300 pounds for the first time in a long time.

Faith Based Weight Loss

While I don't want this to become a weight loss blog, I was intrigued by a short part of an article on Smart Diet Tips. As a youth minister, I was please to see the following:

The best place to drop pounds may be your own house of worship. Researchers
set up healthy eating and exercise programs in 16 Baltimore churches. More than
500 women participated and after a year the most successful lost an average of
20 lbs. Weight-loss programs based on faith are so successful because there's a
built-in community component that people can feel comfortable with.

"Hungry for Hungary" Upate

Day two of my "Hungry for Hungary" Diet. Not too bad so far. I haven't had any diet soda since 10 AM on Wednesday. I am trying to exercise more and eat healthier and less. I am trying to not eat anything after supper. Someone told me "What you eat after six, sticks". I am not going to deprive myself of anything and yet eat small healthy "meals".

I weighed in in front of the youth on Wednesday night and will do so each Wednesday night. This is an unofficial weight but will help to show my progress. The weight there was 322.6 lbs. which was 4.6 pounds more than the weight at the MACC. I will update here every Wednesday night (via my phone) after 8:30 PM EST.

By the way, if any of you would like to donate to the "Hungry for Hungary" fund. Get in contact with me and I will let you know how to do just that. Every little bit helps.
