Stuck at 201 and nobody cares, least of all me.

I can't help but think that stress has to do with letting my weight get away from me more than anything. Today is a good example. I'm doing everything right in the diet.
We'll see what tomorrow brings, for now I'm stuck at 201 pounds. I love you all! Seriously, I really do. xoxo

Not in the mood!

Today I woke up not in the mood to diet. Ugh! I keep thinking these meals are appetizer size. But fortunately the partner and my friends are very supportive... so I continue.

New measurements:

Weight 200 pounds
Chest 43"
Belly 42" (lost an inch - Yippee!)
Waist 40"
Hip 39"

Onward we go!

Love you!

Jehovah's Witness

I just got a visit from a group of Jehovah's witnesses. Atreu our 170 pound Great Dane scared the beejeezus out of them as they approached the door. They were very nicely dressed I must say. I spoke to them for a few minutes but to my surprise they didn't want to talk about how I'm down to 201 pounds today. They kept preaching this mumbo jumbo about spreading the word or the second coming or something. It all made me very hungry. Off to eat my Oatmeal bar, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, one fruit and cup of milk. The Jehovah's witnesses just don't understand.

I have to admit this is starting to seem easier than I thought. Maybe it's just the beginning that is easy and it's going to get more difficult as time goes on. The good news is I'm already down to a svelte 202.2 pounds. Woo Hoo! I feel so skinny! The food remains delich and I seem to be managing my hunger well. The one thing that I find a little frustrating is that the menu Jenny wants me to follow gets a bit confusing. It seems there are things on there that I don't have. Upon a little investigation... I would be seeming correctly. Some items are optional and some are substituted. I would prefer a very specific menu that I could follow like paint by numbers. I don't want any opportunity to stray or mess up. Tonight's dinner was meatloaf with BBQ sauce. Very yummy. Last night I got cake for my late snack. Tonight it's fruit. Yipee!

More tomorrow. Love you all to pieces.

Day 2 on Jenny Craig for Men

Wow! I had intended to post Day 1 but it turned out to be a whirlwind of a day both personally and professionally. So here I am day two. What's it like so far people ask. Actually not bad. The food is amazing and delicious. I actually enjoy eating throughout the day (part of the program). The only drawback is getting used to the smaller portions. It's not even been two full days yet and I honestly feel lighter. I find myself craving water which is a good thing. I'm trying to drink a gallon a day. Which means I pee a lot. TMI? This morning was my first time out in a restaurant while on the program and it was actually quite easy. I had an iced tea (no sugar) with a little lemon and a fruit plate. I counted it as my snack since I had already devoured my Jenny breakfast. I'm off to fire up my afternoon snack now. I really look forward to every morsel of food! Below you'll find what I was going to post for my Day 1 measurements, I'll update them periodically. Once there is a noticeable difference I'll post a before and mid-way picture too. Until next time foodies and friends. Love you all!


Weight: 205 lbs.
Height: 5'10"
Chest: 43"
Belly: 43"
Waist: 40"
Hips: 39"

This afternoon my food will arrive. I find myself wanting to portion and eat healthy even before it gets here. Although last night, in the middle of the night, I did wake up and eat two yummy, home made oatmeal cookies in a sleepy slumber. This morning I threw the remaining cookies away.

I'm going to officially weigh myself tomorrow morning before starting Jenny (Forest says: Jennnnniiieeeee) but right now I'm fluctuating between 205 and 210. I guess that's normal??? I don't usually weigh myself so I don't really know. Anyhoo, whatever my weight, it's going to be 30 pounds less in a few months. Yipee! I have to figure out the exercise part now. Maybe my consultant will help with that. Until then if you're reading this (and I don't think anyone is) I wish you a beautiful and healthy day. xo - overweight Billy

Adding this nifty weight tracker. I'll update it every day.
