[jtbdas]

frustration as I have suffered a setback over the last week while I was traveling to WDW. I gained 5lbs instead of losing anything. I am back above my start weight, however over the last few days I have lost 2lbs and shall continue to get back to progress.

[jtbdas]

Today was another successful day with making my exercise routine and also shedding another half a pound. I am happy to be back on track and look forward to success......:D :D :D

[jtbdas]

Yesturday was another productive day and my focus was strong, I am excited to weigh in at the beginning of next week to hopefully see some positive results.

I do however need to begin to increase my resistance on the treadmill to create more agility and stamina. I have decided I do want to make the WDW 2005 Marathon.

[jtbdas]

Friday was another great day, and attended the gym. Maintained my focus.

[jtbdas]

Today is July 15 and I am staying on track and went to the gym this morning with my DW and we had a great time. Glad to have a partner to enjoy my loss with.

30 Min treadmill

[jtbdas]

Yesturday was a great day, went to the gym and ate fairly well. I look forward to weighing in next week to see the successfull results.

[jtbdas]

Yesturday was a great day of success. My eating and exercise were completely in tune with each other, and this morning I was able to see that success when I did my mid week weigh in..... I am a loser.....

[jtbdas]

Thursday was a good day with the exception of weighing in this morning, and I think I am only going to weigh once a week on Monday's for the mere fact that I am going up and down and it drives me crazy.

[jtbdas]

Monday was a great day for the gym, currently adding incline and more speed as I strive to get myself ready for WDW 1/2 Marathon 2005. We will be there.

[jtbdas]

Yes I am feeling the love, as success after success is happening. Great day on Tuesday and Monday.

[jtbdas]

Yes another successful day yesturday. The DW and I spent our usual time in the gym and had a successful day. For dinner I made something a bit different, we made grilled vegtable quasadillias and they were ooooohhhhh so good.

[jtbdas]

My weekend was a wreck and I have to start doing better on the weekends, no excuses.....

[jtbdas]

Yo Ho Yo Ho I am feeling much better today, yesturday I was not feeling to good about myself and thanks to my friends at WISH I am feeling much better. I was unable to exercise however I did have a great day with meals and ate very sensible as I have needed to. I am looking forward to the week and rebuilding myself one day at a time.

[TigH]

Yaaay! Way to go! :) Glad to hear you got your bounce back!

Remember, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[jtbdas]

Karen a special thanks for being supportive.

Tuesday was another great day, I really feel good and have really been watching myself this week. I need to work on building my energy level up. For meals yesturday I was really good about protion control, especially at dinner time where I walked away after a single serving plate. Not my normal approach to dinner, but is my best approach for success........

[jtbdas]

Wednesday 7/30 was a good day for both physical exercise and mental exercise. My meals were very sensible, grilled chicken breast, serving of potatoes au gratin, grilled zucchini, and a salad.

[jtbdas]

Woooo hooooo another good day yesturday, I am looking forward to weigh in on Monday..... I think I can, I think I can, I know I can......

[jtbdas]

Weekend was overall good, except Saturday evening where I struggled with a party that we attended. Had some dessert during that function. The rest of the weekend was very enjoyable and good, did not go to the gym however did yardwork and construction to the house that amounted to exercise.

[jtbdas]

Monday was a great day and was a very productive day. I feel this week is off to a much better start than last week.

[jtbdas]

Last couple days have been good food wise, however having to work many hours and other projects around the house have not allowed me to get into the gym, I have just not had the energy to drag myself out of bed early enough. Although I have been doing projects such as painting and yard work that give me a great sweat while doing them. Anyway I hope to get back on track very quickly here.

[jtbdas]

Boy oh boy I have been so busy that I am missing all my time here at the DIS, anyway I have been a bit off the wagon, but not very bad, I am only missing my exercise, not my eating, I have been eating very well.

[jtbdas]

I have been away and will be making it back effective September 7th with a new diet. I look forward to getting back on the wagon.

[jtbdas]

A new me, and I am now excited that I actually have a specific plan that I am following. I am on day 2 of the south beach diet and look forward to seeing the success.

My start weight is 213.5, so let the losing begin.

[DoeWDW]

JT, I love your positive attitude! You sound like you're on the right track. SBD is a great plan and there are other people on the WISH board following it, so I'm sure they can help you with any questions or meal plans.

Keep it up so you can keep going down!!

[jtbdas]

Today is day number three on the South Beach Diet and I am already seeing the success of a rigid plan. 4.0 pounds lost already and I am really excited and thrilled this is the most in the last 3 months of being here at wish.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[jtbdas]

Day three of SBD was another good day of eating and enjoying foods that I like. I was happy to get on the scale on Day three and post a loss of 4lbs. Day four is off to a great start and look forward to a successful day.

Thanks I am now on day six and really liking all of the foods. Day five was a we bit challenging, but I think that my body was changing and it was more physical than mental.

[jtbdas]

This week was my most successful week since joining wish, I have lost 7.5lbs to date since starting the SBD. I look forward to further success.

[jtbdas]

Today is September 16th and I am feeling really good. I look forward to my next weigh in and hopefully have lost further weight. The food has been great on the SBD so far and I am almost done with my induction period.

[jtbdas]

Day eleven of the SBD and I have lost 7.5lbs so far. The loss appears to have slowed down slightly, however the last few days I have not been able to exercise as needed. I will work harder to continue the weight loss.

[DoeWDW]

Jason, you are doing GREAT!! 7.5 pounds gone!! :bounce:

Keep up the good work. Sounds like you are doing well with SBD and enjoying the foods - finding an eating plan you can live with is truly half the battle!!

Thank you for the kind words. I am really enjoying this diet. It is very appeasing to me and this as you said is half the battle. The next phase looks even more impressive, but I already realize that my weight will slow down due to the addition of healthy carbs, so I know that I have to increase my physical exercise.

[jtbdas]

Today I weighed again and lost another 1.5lbs for a total of 9.0 lbs during my induction period. This is the best improvement I have ever made in my weightloss challenge, this is really a great motivator to keep going.

[jtbdas]

Yesturday was a good day and my DW and I got our evening walk in.

[jtbdas]

I had a tremendously great weekend, with a little scare on Sunday at the scale, I gained a pound, however this morning on my offical weigh in day I lost a pound and a half, thus bringing me to my 10lbs lost level and a new clippie. I am on my way to the clippie room to go and retrieve that new clippie. Wooooooohoooooooooo

[jtbdas]

This weekend was a weekend of staying put, slid a bit off the diet this weekend with all kinds of family activities taking place, however I did not gain nor lose, so no complaints on my part. I do want to reach the 200 mark this week. I will have to work very hard to get there, but I can.

[DoeWDW]

Jason, your new clippie is looking GREAT!!! Congratulations!

I hope you hit and pass that 200 mark soon - you're on a roll!!

Doreen thank you for the kind words, I snuck on the scale today and it registered 200.0lbs, oh I am so close to break that mark. I have not seen that number in 10 years......

[jtbdas]

This week was a great week for me with a total loss of 3lbs pushing me into the 15 pound clippie range. I am really getting the most out of the SBD and its success. I look forward to hitting the 20lb mark this week and hope to make it before weeks end.

[jtbdas]

Today is November 19th and my weigh in was 190.5 I am back on Phase One of the SBD due to some straying off course, but I am already back on track and loosing as needed.
