21 pound loss

by Stephen Vinson on September 1, 2010

Last weigh in: 474 lbs
Current weight in: 453 lbs
Total loss for the week: 21 lbs
Total loss since Feb 2009: 179 lbs   (Just 21 lbs away from the 200 milestone)

I am really back on track now. A big time shout out to Sonthe and Emily for helping me get back on track. Last week when I posted my 18 pound gain, Sonthe was on top of it, she contacted me that day and we walked and talked about what changes I should make to my nutrition that afternoon. Whenever I have a gain, my anxiety goes up, and Sonthe was able to put me at ease and get me back on track.

Emily has helped me keep track of calories and make recommendations on my meals. We text back and forth what we are going to eat, and make recommendations about our choices. It is so helpful. Without her help, I would have had a beer and burger at the bar the other night instead of unsweetened tea and salad.

Thank you Sonthe, Emily, Hal, and everyone else that sent me words of encouragement and made recommendations about my nutrition.

YOU DA MAN! We all have our little backsliding moments. We get up and say we are sorry and forgive us and head on back until our next moment. Maybe those slipping back times are few and far inbetween.

But we are human . We just forget the past , start from right now and go forth!

GLAD YOU HAD SUCH A GREAT LOSS..I cheered for my 2 lbs and yours was 21!!!! But my blood sugar and other numbers look great so I am happy.

YAH STEPHEN
