OK so I didn't go on a diet as planned a few months ago. But I did officially start in the beginning of August!
July 28: 273
August 11: 264
Next weigh in August 25. Weigh myself every 2 weeks.
Basically my diet now consists 1500 calories a day. Protein shake for breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and sometimes an evening snack. My snacks generally include 1 serving of lunch meat, or a piece of fruit, or even those little "100 calorie packs" of crackers, chips, cookies, whatever. I find those little packs really help... I can have sweets or stuff that really isn't "health" food, but the 100 cal pack really helps me portion it and not sit and eat 4 pounds of cookies. Saturday is a "bonus" day where I can have 2000-2500 calories. So there I can pretty much eat what I want... but I still regulate the calories so I don't go on a 6k cal binge ;p
I've also found a great web site that helps you track you calories throughout the day. They've got about every meal you could possibly think of there. Really handy for seeing what you've had and what you can have for the rest of the day. The Daily Plate | LIVESTRONG.COM
We have a tradclimber that I do 20-25 minutes on at least 4 times a week, and I walk every other round of golf. Walking the course is still a little rough on my knees and ankles because of my weight, but I'll get there. Getting a pull-cart really helped.
I can almost literally feel the weight peeling off. I feel great, and my pants are starting to fit better. Now that I've got into a routine I'm really motivated and will get the pounds off.
