Monday, August 20, 2007 Shedding It Off A couple weeks ago, you might remember that I finally got my blood test I had been putting off for a while now. Suffice to say my results were not what one would consider...good. While my cholesterol was slightly elevated, my triglycerides were so high, I thought it must've been a typo. But no, looks like my sedintary lifestyle and less than healthy eating habits had finally caught up with me. Add in the fact my weight was hovering around the biggest I'd ever been, I knew it was time for a change. And I wasn't alone. Kris and I both decided we needed to undergo a... paradigm shift when it came to our eating habits. So after the recommendations from my parents, we both signed up for Nutrisystem, mainly because it wasn't the food we were eating that was the problem (well not all of it), but of was the portions we were downing. Chicken isn't bad, but when you combine it with tons of cheese, and stuffed pasta, it just builds up and up. So, anyway, we both started it today, and I honestly feel great. Only about 1300 calories for me today, and aside from a little pang around 4:00, the hunger wasn't so bad. We'll see how the rest of the week goes... well, actually the next month since we have 35 days of food to get through. I'm starting at 242 pounds... yeah that sucks to admit, but I've got an ambitious goal of getting to 200 by my wedding next year. Fingers crossed. posted by Holz | 11:10 PM | Rant & Rave, Bitches!

GO FOR IT!!!!! I wish you all the luck in the world, man. I've struggled with my weight for so long and I know I feel awesome when I'm slimmer. I went back on my calorie counting thing a little less than a month ago and I've lost 11lbs already. You can do it. Just stick with it. You'll watch the weight peel off and it'll motivate you even more. Just remember to eat a balanced assortment of food. Nothing worse than working so hard on your diet and then still be unhealthy.

Congrats to both of you! Don't forget to drink your water too!

Thanks for the encouragement. I've never done the calorie counting thing, but the fact that the NutriSystem program sends you all the food you'll be eating aside form salads and some minor stuff, and you can enter it into your account online, which really makes it easy to track the intake.
By Good luck! I know how hard it's going to be, but keep in mind the long term reasons for getting healthy now and maybe that will make the extra cheese less attractive!

Don't worry, you guys aren't alone! Tom and I are working to lose my baby and his sympathy weight so we are with you in spirit. We'll all look hot at your wedding. :)
