Even though my weigh in day is Saturday's I do weigh myself from time to time during the week... just to keep focus. I was given a nice surprise this morning when the scale registered 426, an additional loss of 2 pounds. Derek told me that could expect what he terms as "A Wooosh" from time to time where the body releases water, fat, whatever...and a good weight reduction is registered. Well I think I had my first Wooosh over the past 48 hours. It amazing what a small change like this does to your outlook. I actually smiled this morning when I saw the number on the scale... and added a little fist pump.
I don't expect Woooshes to happen weekly but I know they will happen if I continue to eat good foods at 1900 per day and get some movement and exercise in my life. When I look at the overall picture.. if I lose 8 pounds per month I'd be pretty happy with that rate of weight loss. It's not too drastic, it's healty and it's sustainable. In my first 27 days I'm already there!

I am a middle aged American man who is extremely obese and a former "Freestyle Eater". I want to change my lifestyle and learn to eat to live rather than living to eat. This is not going to be just a diet change to lose weight, it's a life change. I want to eat well and improve my fitness. This blog is an outlet for me and a record of my journey which began on January 1st, 2010, Stalled in April of 2010 and restarted in April of 2012
