265 as of August 30

I've been fluctuating between 266 and 267 the last few days. Still only eating one meal a day and several glasses of fruit juice mixed with mineral water. The other night I actually had a full mean, chicken piccatta and rice, and so the next day, I had a two pound weight loss, to 265.

I have no hunger or appetite at all. I know this will completely mess up my system, but I'm having a hard time even thinking of food, let alone eating it.

Right now, my goal is to keep hydrated. I'm a huge juice drinker, so I'm cutting fruit juice with mineral water, which makes it even yummier. One quarter juice to 3/4 mineral water is a pretty good ratio, plus it's a fraction of the calories of full juice, and just as tasty. I figure a quarter cup of orange juice and mineral water is about 30 calories.

266

Wow.

Pounds are pouring off, and it feels great. Makes me want to try harder. You can't tell yet because when you're as big as this it takes a good 20 or more to make any noticible difference. Though, technically, I'm 20 down from when I started several months ago, the loss has been so gradual it's not apparent.

Good to be much closer to 250 than to 300, YAY! I suspect if I'm still 266 by this time next week, I'll be grumbling and whining about it, but for now, I'm happy.

268 BEE-YOTCHES!!!

The last week or so I've been under tremendous stress. Silver lining is I've lost about 7 pounds and quite honestly, I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't suggest it as a plan of action, but hopefully this is the kick start I needed. I've been very careful about my eating, but have been having a hard time eating 3+ meals per day, usually opting only for one, typically dinner. I've been maintaining my weight at that level, but I know if I would take the time to actually plan 3 meals and then eat them, I'd actually lose more weight.

I haven't been able to break the 272 mark until now, so maybe that was my plateau, and when I return to more healthy and normal eating habits, it will be easy to drop a few more pounds.
