I started changing my eating habits and stopped eating what I wanted when I wanted 9 days ago.

I started at 355 lbs and after weighing in this morning I am down to 344. I am sure this is mostly water weight since you lose this first. My goal weight is 180 lbs.

I am eating sensible foods and drinking a lot of water. I have dropped regular sodas totally and only drink maybe 1 diet coke a day so far. Some days I do not drink any. I am drinking 3 - 1liter bottles of water a day and it is really not that hard to do. I thought it would be alot harder to get it down.

I am following the SB diet, so in the beginning of my life change I have cut out breads, pasta etc. This has not been that difficult so far.

I love seafood and protiens and since SB is based largely based on that so far so good.

My exercise so far has been walking on our treadmill 30 minutes a day at least once a day. My goal is to do it 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening but with 2 young childeren it is tough but so far the time is allowing me at least once a day.

Anyways this is my first post of many in the future. I will add a before picture soon and my starting measurements soon. I really love this forum so far. The support is incredible.

Yesterday was a good day.

Breakfast - 2 slices jenni -o fat free turkey breast, 1 low fat skim motz cheese stick and 8 oz of skim milk

Lunch - Salad with romaine, canned tuna,2- boiled egg, low fat shredded cheddar cheese, celery, onion and fat free kraft italian dressing

Dinner - Baked salmon filet and tilapia filet (7oz total), 2 cups stir fry blend veggies and 8oz of skim milk

I did drink 2- 1 liter bottles of Sam's Choice flavored sparkling water (I love the stuff), typically drink 3 per day.

Snacks during the day - Sugar free jello cups (2), fat free motz stick (1)

I typically weigh myself every morning and this morning I am down another 4 pounds, so I am down to 340 lbs with 15 pounds lost.

Welcome to the forum Scott. Sounds like you're doing a great job .

Thanks Blancita!

I wish you luck, very good about the current weight loss. I should have my scales arrive tomorrow so I can record accurate readings.

Keep it up!

I went out to walmart and bought the biggest loser version scale. Goes up to 350 pounds and shows the ounces also. I love it and it seems it is very accurate. My wife joined weight watchers last week and after she weighed in there, she came home and weighed on our scale and it was accurate to the ounce.

How much did that cost?

I bought mine on eBay, it does both imperial (lb) and metric (kg).

The scale was $28 with tax a bit over $30.
The biggest loser scale does Imperial and metric.

Cheers for that!

Once again, great effort so far.

Hot avi! Is that at your current weight?

yeah that was late in the summer 2007 at Navarre Beach Florida on vacation.
Thanks for the compliment!

Well done on your weight loss so far, I am very impressed!!
I wish you all the luck in the world!
