Week 10, 03-16-2010
Change with James started 10 weeks ago… AMAZING. I think this is now officially the longest diet I have been able to stick too. Also this is the most weight I have ever lost. Of course I weighed a lot more than any other time I tried dieting before. I am really starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel though. I am currently as of this morning down to 333lbs. Let me get my calculator out for this one…. 378 – 333 = 45… 45LBS!!!! I go to the gym and know that 45lbs is the largest plate there, I carry them to the bench every Monday.
I ended up going and buying more cookies too. They taste so much better than the first batch. I am pretty sure it isn’t just me. But we decided that the cookies are they way to go for controlling my hunger and how much I eat. I tried doing the whole lunch thing with 2 snacks and it was ok. Now I am doing 3 cookies with 3 snacks and that seems to be perfect for my daily urges. I am so excited to buy more clothes from normal stores. Right now my pants wad up on the side. I have drilled out 3 holes for my belts. I originally would wear 52-54 inch pants. I grabbed my old 48’s and they fit great.
I have kept the same workout routine and I know it is key to any diet. For all of those people out there wanting to make the change to a healthy life. All I can tell you is, don’t give up, and just push harder.

Week 8
Week 8 03-02-2010
Well it has been a while and the only reason is that I didn’t have to much talk about. My body plateau’s and then all the sudden drops. Well as of this morning I am currently 337lbs! Since starting the diet I have lost 41lbs in 8 weeks. I continue to work out at least 3 times a week and watch what I eat. Well…. actually I have been a little bad. I have been having ice cream occasionally. I have been making sure that I don’t lose total control and eating a half gallon to myself or anything. My wife and I would split a small Sonic Reese’s Blast. Well it gets split 3 ways with our little girl.
Lunches, I have been having 2 little 100 calorie snacks and a low calorie lunch. I have notices that the Cookie Diet does manage your hunger better and my wife and I have decided that it would be a good idea to buy more of them and then alternate every now and then. That will also stretch out the cookies to reduce the cost and also I don’t get grossed out by eating the same thing everyday. Again, so that you know my goal is to be down below 300lbs by my birthday in May. I don’t have complete control on how fast my body will do that. However I am confident that I can do it. If I can average 20lbs a month loss then it would be perfect.
41lbs is a total difference. My clothes don’t fit anymore. I had to buy another belt because the ones I had before I kept drilling holes to fit but now the belt goes all the way around me. I think that the next time I post I will measure my waist just to see how many inches have been lost around the mid section.
Fun stat: My BMI according to one of these website calculators was 48.5 when I started 8 weeks ago. 6’2”at 378lbs with a 52 inch waist. Now 337lbs (at the same height) I am down to 43.3BMI. Pretty cool!
