My next weigh-in will be on November 9 at 10 A.M. at the Sav A Lot Nutrition Center in Margate, FL. Public is invited.
Here are the video links for my first two weigh-ins:
PJ, keep this up!
Keep up the good work, don’t let the stress get to you!
If you feel the urge to splurge, just take a little walk.
During that walk, talk yourself out of it by patting yourself on the back for what you have accomplished so far.
Plus, fresh air and the outdoors is always good for the soul.
The main thing is I NO LONGER have any carb cravings. Without the carb intake, my weight is dropping... dropping... DROPPING.
Congrats! I’ve been down that road. Topped out at a little over 300. I’m 6’5” so was able to carry it around not too badly. After two years of sanity I’m now 193 lbs and holding steady for 6 months thus far. It feels good... like it SHOULD feel!
As you point out, carb reduction is the key. I would add to that the increase of proteins, vitamins and minerals, as well as very regular walking and other exercises.
Using protein/nutrition shakes has been key for me. And getting used to the fact that hunger is not synonymous with pain. Hunger is simply another tool I have to remind me that I was on the path. Once I learned to like going to bed just a little bit hungry the rest was gravy... so to speak. :)

But don’t over-do the protein or you’ll get the big puffy dark bags on your lower eyelids!
