My First Official Weigh In!

Well, here we are on day 11. Usually I would meet with Dr. Joe or Kelly on Day 10, but since it was the amazing 4th of July. We are meeting today on Day 11. To recap forward I haven't cheated and am going nuts. Last night at my mom's was the hardest. I had to be done eating before everyone started and I couldn't eat a hot dog or a s'more!!! And don't get me started on the coconut cream pie. I LOVE PIE!!!! But that's probably what got me to this point, so time to move on.

Day 7-11 has been pretty normal. I went back to work, which honestly I thought would be harder, wasn't to bad. The girls are super supportive and understand how little I am allowed to eat and cheer me on. Matt has been such a trooper as well, he is too loosing some weight and running. I am so very proud of him. So thankful I have an amazing supporter thru all of this by myside. My sister has also been eating healthy with me, and working her butt of too. I am so proud of her!

So today when I woke up my weight was 282.2, so I am down 16.2lbs in 11 days! I am so very excited about it. The lowest I have been in the last year is 279. I could never get past that and so my first goal is to get past that, I am so close I can taste it. After that. I will also be at the other 1st of 20lbs. So close! Once I get that, my next goal to get to 250lbs. so after my first goal I will have another 28bs to go to get to the 2nd one. I can't even tell you the last time I was 250lbs. The weird thing is I have never felt that was attainable until now.

This diet has been such a struggle. I go through highs and lows. Times when I am trying to decide to I really want to do this, it wont hurt anything if I just eat a few Cheetos will it? And then there are times when I am pumped and I am like I can do this! You are doing awesome! Just keep going! But one thing that has remained constant is my strength in God. I know he is right there with me when I am in my lows and he is helping me get through it.

So on my original consultation with Dr. Joe I got on this special scale that measures different things in your body. With it I got this awesome printout that told me about myself. The nice thing about this is we will do this every 10 days and I will get to see the difference! I will be able to have paper showing me the proof. Cause I know when I look in the mirror I still see same old me. But my sister says she can already see a difference. But I can tell you all I feel a difference. My pants are starting to feel looser and my back doesn't start to hurt as fast as it was.

So lets compare the changes that have already happened that the sheet tells me about:

My Body Mass Index went from 51.1 to 48.1
My Body Fat went from 53.4 to 53.0
My Visceral Fat went from 18 to 17

So wohooo!!! They all went down!!! I am super excited about this. I am getting closer an closer to not being obese. I still have a long road ahead but its a start!!! Dr. Joe says I am making amazing progress and that in the next few weeks I will have even more weight loss. So before and after pictures Day 10: The Pictures on the right in the purple tank are day 10's. The Gray is Day 1. I will try next time to be as exact, but Trenton was taking them for me tonite ;)
