New Year 2012

Well it's that time again. To start this roller-coaster I call weight-loss. Last year sucked! and the year before that too! So, it's the end of January and so far I can say that I am in a good mood about losing weight this year. Unfortunately, it did not go off to a good start since my mini-vaca to Mexico cost me to gain 20lbs and that was only a week imagine if I had stayed longer. The only thing that has helped me to lose weight this year is a horrible bug that has been stuck in my stomach for over a week now. I am down 15lbs from it, which is good, but not healthy. I want to lose weight in a healthy way not because i'm sick. So, this is the plan for this year. Chris Powell, yes, Chris Powell the guy who helped someone lose 400lbs. I was at the grocery store and picked up a magazine with an article on Chris Powell's carb cycling diet and how its proven to lose up to 400lbs. I immediately went online and bought the book. Which by the weigh I am still waiting for. I am hoping that he will help me and Allen lose the weight that we need to lose. I am extremely happy and excited and motivated and I can't wait to start. Allen wanted to do weight-watchers, but I have more faith in Chris because I have seen what he can do. At the end of my journey I want to be able to help other people lose weight. I have plans on opening a gym exclusive to overweight people who are too embarassed to go to the gym with skinny people. I also want to write a book one day of how I came to lose weight and I will title it... From the Fourest... to the Onederland... My journey from 400lbs to  199lbs... I can't wait to see the changes and the transformation my body will take this year. I know I will have to be buying clothes by the end of the year because all of my pants will be too loose. But then again I can always go downstairs and get the jeans that I can't wear because i'm too fat. My goal number is to be able to fit into a 22W comfortably by my birthday this year Oct 2012. I will be turning 30 years old and I plan to have a great party in Mexico with my family. I am hoping that me and Allen can drive or take the bus over there, depending on how big or small Allen is by the time it's time to go down there. I have a lot of hope for this year. I will do something this year and not waste another year of life.

Almost 29!!!!

Well its been awhile, Again! I have been moving way too much. I hope this is the last move for a long time. I love this apartment. It's all hardwood floors and has lots of character. I can't wait until I finish unpacking and setting everything up. I went to the doctor the other day and I now weigh 435lbs which is 3 lbs less than I did back in June but that is not very good progress. I am going to be turning 29 in about a month. I am going to miss my twenties. I am hoping that I start strong in my thirties, but it doesn't look too hopeful. I have a year to figure it all out. I wonder if I can reverse my diabetes in a year? I will have to work really hard in order to lose this weight. I have a goal. Now all I need is a plan. When I lost those 30 lbs a few years ago, I had a plan it was Jenny Craig, but Jenny is not an option for my budget, plus its something that I feel I will let Allen out on if I do this. I need a plan that both me and Allen can do. I think what I am going to do is a modified version of Jenny Craig for both me and Allen. We can do the 3 frozen meals a day plus snacks and salads. I will have to figure it out. Tommorow I am going to order a scale that will weigh me and Allen. This way we can track our progress. My goal is to get down to 425lbs by my birthday. That is 10 lbs. I also need to start tracking my glucose levels everyday like the doctor wants me to.
