More Exciting News

Today I got on the scale and it read 199.2. I was very happy to finally get below 200 lbs. Now my goal is to get out of the 190s. I know that I will probably jump back up into the 200s again a time or two before I get out of the 190s. It’s just the way that the weight loss has been going. It’s slow but I’m determined. When I broke the 300 lb. mark I was very happy and I was hoping that I would be able to get below 200 lb. but I wasn’t sure if it would be possible.

I went shopping a couple of days ago looking for a size 12 jeans. I tried on a couple of pairs but they are a little to tight yet. I figure that I will have to lose five more pounds. That’s another goal to shoot for.

Oct. 11th Update

It’s getting harder and harder to lose weight. I got below 210 lbs in June of this year and I weigh 202 lbs now. It has been a roller coaster ride all the way. My main goal is to get below 200 lbs by the end of the year. My doctor said that for my height and age I should weigh 180 lbs. I would like to be between 170 lbs and 180 lbs.

I have been off of my blood sugar medicine for a month now and my blood sugar has been around 90 which is very good.

I have started walking the track as a new exercise. I used to only be able to walk 1/4 of a lap last year and I would have to sit down and let my pulse rate come down. (One lap is 1/6 th of a mile.) Now I can do three laps without stopping. I know that 1/2 mile isn’t very far but I just started last week.
