My Weight Loss Journey

Gamma Week 8 (11/23/14) 
221 lbs.  - BMI 33.5
Losing Fat - I am super glad I bought the new scale.  My weight has not changed but I have lost 8 lbs of fat and put on the same amount of muscle.

Gamma Week 4 (10/26/14) 
224 lbs.  - BMI 34.1
New Scale - I bought one of those FitBit scales.  It is very accurate for weight and it also sends a charge through your bare feet to tell you your BMI and Lean to Fat ratio.  Don't worry, you can't feel a thing.  In the past month, I have missed 2 days at the gym.

Gamma Week 1 (10/5/14) 
230 lbs.  - BMI 35.0
Joined a Gym - Joined a gym this week and I went every day.  I am alternating cardio and weights.  If I take a day off, I am pretty sure I won't go again.

Gamma Week 0 (9/28/14) 
233 lbs.  - BMI 35.4
Back at it Friends at work are starting to lose weight and I want to join in. 

Beta Week 2 (5/14/13) 
221 lbs.  - BMI 33.6
Calorie Counting I struggled again with my calories.  I would do fairly well, then go out to eat.  At least there is a little progress.


Beta Week 1 (5/7/13) 
222 lbs.  - BMI 33.8
Tough Start My head cold is over and now begins the work again.  I began using my calorie counting app last week and did a fairly good job of watching what I ate.  Then my spouse decided to take us out to the Melting Pot.  1500 cal in one meal =(  I didn't lose any weight this week.  However, today, I went for my first bike ride. 
Goals Achieved: Begiworking out.

Beta Week 0 (4/30/13) 
222 lbs.  - BMI 33.8
Do Over I really geared myself up to run the 5k Foam Run last fall.  The day before, I twisted my back.  It was really the only back problems I had for the whole year but it meant that I couldn't run the race.  I was bummed and I quit working out.  Then the holidays happened.  Now it is almost summer and my clothes are tight again.  I have started tracking my calories and I will begin working out next Monday (after my head cold is over).
Goals Achieved: BegiAgain.

Alpha Week 0 (3/4/12) 
238 lbs.  - BMI 36.2
Ground Zero - My dad had his second heart attack in 18 months.  Something has to change in me or I will be there soon.  I am starting this journey at 238 lbs. and 36.2 BMI.

Weeks 1 - 10 

Weeks 11 - 22


So... I took time off and gained weight. =(  It happens but now it's time to get back with it.  Here we go with Week 0 Beta.
