So I just finished week 8 and I am down 31 pounds! I would give you all my final stats, but I've had some difficulty with obtaining those numbers when someone tells me that "Oh, I don't have time to take your body fat today" or when the person just doesn't show up for our appointment.
Anyway, I want to thank KFRX for giving me the opportunity to get started on my journey. I also want to thank Anytime Fitness and Max Muscle for giving me a chance to use their facility and supplements. I have lost a total of 40 pounds since Christmas and am shooting to lose another 70 pounds, at least, before the end of the year. I also can complete 60 minutes on the elliptical machine, although I can't feel my toes for the last 20 minutes of my workout. I also noticed that when I take a two mile walk around my neighborhood, I am no longer completely fatigued after my walk. I feel great and I can tell I have much more energy. I still struggle from day to day with what I think is a food addiction, but I have tried to allow myself smaller portions of items that I "shouldn't have" here and there. I plan on continuing my meal plans and keeping my protein-based snacks. I do feel that protein is important and keeps me feeling full longer. Once again, I thank everyone so much for their support and opportunity. I'm going to keep on keeping on and plan on keeping this weight off for good. I have lost this weight before six years ago, but another 15 pounds, I will be back into new territory. Since January, I've also lowered my blood pressure, although it was never "high", and have increased my good cholesterol. Overall, health-wise, I am healthy except for being "extremely obese", but I'm working on that. Signing off for now....happy living!!
