Today’s Weight: 395.6 Yesterday’s Water: 104 oz Didn’t do great on the water yesterday due to being out of the house quite a lot. And then I fell asleep before drinking the 40 oz I’ve been drinking before bed. I’ll do better today. Still feeling ok, although I did accidentally sleep in two hours late […]

Day 7
Today’s Weight: 397.2 (K.) Yesterday’s water: 196 oz Finally did it on the water yesterday. My only real fail was not actually blogging this morning and just now getting to it. Both yesterday and today we had gatherings outside the house with a meal. I tried very hard to make good choices. Thinking I did […]
How I Got Here
So as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I’ve had a long battle with my weight, pretty much my entire adult life. I started gaining weight back during the summer between my 6th and 7th grade years – prior to that I was actually a scrawny kid. Part of that was probably due to the fact that there […]
Day 6
Today’s Weight: 396.2 (There we go.) Yesterday’s water: 196 oz Achieved my water goal for the first time since starting this journey. I also tweaked the water app so its trying to get me to drink from 8a to 12a instead of 8a to 8p. Which meant I was floating away during the day trying […]
Day 5
Today’s Weight: 399.3 (Back up a bit. Not worrying.) Yesterday’s Water: 136 oz In order to better remember to drink water, I installed Hydro Coach on my phone yesterday. I’m actually pretty impressed with the free version of the app, although I strongly dislike the ads. Apparently you can pay to remove the ads permanently […]
Day 4
Today’s Weight: 398.2 (Downward trend continues. Realistically, it’s been three days – it’s not really a trend yet. But it is what I wanted to see.) Yesterday’s Water: 152 oz Would have been less water but I drank 40 oz before bed to try and get the number up. Thinking about it, when I lost […]
Day 3
Today’s Weight: 399.6 (Well within normal fluctuation, but downward motion is a good thing.) Yesterday’s Water: 96 oz Still not getting there on the water, but progress. Hunger has set in. Had my first serious “why am I doing this” moment. And I know the answer. I’d like to live more than another 20 years […]
Day 2
Today’s Weight: 400.4 (See, I was really good yesterday, yet the number went up – that’s ok! If it doesn’t start gradually creeping down in about a week, then I’ll start to be concerned.) Yesterday’s Water: 88 oz of 200 oz goal. Obviously have some work to do there. Not really feeling hungry yet, at […]
Day 1
So, I weighed myself on Friday and discovered I weighed 403.2 pounds. Too much. Way too much. Time to try and do something about it. I started today – Monday, June 6th 2016. What’s my approach? I’ve tried many things in the past – what worked the best was similar to the following… For now, […]
