I still have not gotten serious about the exercise. This week is the week I must address exercise as it will ensure the weight loss and help me maintain my weight once I am on maintenance.

Total lbs. Lost: 24.5

I got the results of my blood test and I think I will scan the image in for all to see as some may find this of interest. All pretty good though.
Well, it’s Saturday and I am doing well on this weight loss program. I don’t weigh myself until I visit the doctor each week so I don’t obsess over the number. I am sticking to the diet strictly so I KNOW the weight is coming off. That is a good feeling.
I am feeling really good today. Not hungry or craving anything which is good. I went to the movies last night and actually did NOT eat popcorn!!! Anyone who knows me, knows that I have to have popcorn at the movies so this is a big deal. I did break down and have a Coke Zero.
Till tomorrow….
Been on the program for a full 11 days. Here are the numbers. My weight is 269.0 lbs, a loss of 8 pounds in the last week. Total weight loss is now 18 lbs! Not bad. I feel pretty good. I need to get serious about the exercise program this week.
I bought a new pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12 running shoes this week. This is a big deal because these are the shoes that I have run in for the past 7 years. (When I was running daily and not overeating!)
Weight: 269.0
Total lbs. Lost: 18
BP: 117/72 (Great!)
I will be having blood drawn this week so I will be able to share my cholesterol, etc next week. This should be interesting.
Keep up the good work!
Sorry for not posting for a few days. Still on the Optifast Diet. Having trouble remembering to eat all five portions I am supposed to have in a day. My appetite has certainly diminished quite a lot.
I am resisting jumping on the scale and trying to wait until Friday’s weigh-in. I feel pretty good and I know I am dropping weight quickly. I need to get to the gym tonight and walk a few miles.
I am taking my BP meds and my vitamins every day. I will check my BP tomorrow morning to see how the reduction from 25 MG to 12.5 MG of HCTZ has affected my BP. I am still also on Avapro 150 MG once a day.
These are the vitamins I am currently taking every day in case you are interested:
Morning:
B-100
L-Tyrosine 500MG
D3 – 2000 MG
2 – Omega-3 Fish Oil (Lovaza)
Magnesium – 500 MG
Afternoon:
Co-enzyme Q10 – 150 MG
1 Omega-3 Fish Oil
Zinc – 50MG
C 500 MG capsule
5HTP – 100 MG
And usually an Emergen-C in a bottle of water (1000 MG of vitamin C)
That’s it for today. Good luck with your weight loss.
OK – I have been on this weight loss regimen for 4 full days and here are the results:
Weight Loss – 10 lbs
BP – 106/80 – (The top number has dropped over forty points in 4 days) That is what a change in diet can do. I am currently on 150 MG Avapro and 25 MG Hydrochlorothiazide (water pill). I will be reducing the Hydrochlorothiazide to 12.5 MG a day as I had some muscle cramping which could be because of the reduction in salt intake and potassium loss which is a side effect of the water pill.
Hopefully, next week I can stop taking the water pill. We will see. So far, so good!
