Today I weighed in 291.8 lbs. @ 34.5% bodyfat
Down 33.4 lbs. since June 21 (@ a high of 325.2 lbs. & 36.7% bodyfat
My secret: a low-carb/high-fat diet and lots of shoveling exercise.
That's about 1.24 lbs./wk, the first 8 weeks I focused on eliminating the junk food (again, I had relapsed back into eating candy and donuts the past year) though I was still eating bananas, oranges, and oatmeal with raisins, it wasn't until August 16 that I stopped eating the bananas, oranges, and oatmeal. I weighed in at 314.4 lbs. @ 36.3% bodyfat then. The weight remained stable for a couple weeks, then I cut out the cheese and ever since September I've been seeing steady weight loss.
Yesterday I saw my chiropractor, he noted my weight loss and was impressed at how little adjusting I needed (despite all the shoveling I've been doing, I've been shoveling my house, plus 3 other houses of older neighbors), he pushed my next appointment out to 7 weeks.
No, I'm not losing 30 lbs. in 30 days, but that's just crazy talk anyways, losing a pound a week is a good pace. At this rate I'll be close to my goal weight around my 50th b-day next year (will I eat cake or steak to celebrate? Probably steak, or maybe Brazilian all-you can eat meat? :o)
