Obesity reaches down to youngest years

Nationwide, about 17 percent of U.S. children are overweight. American teens have higher rates of obesity than their peers in 14 other industrialized countries. The culprits are no surprise: fast food, snacks and sugary sodas. U.S. children also tend to lead sedentary lifestyles, spending hours in front of a TV or computer screen.

Hello 260s

Well...not bad if I do say so myself. ;)

Weigh in this morning was 269 lbs. That's 45 lbs in a little over 8 weeks.

At this point, there's no where to go but down.

Milestone Day

This morning i hit a major milestone...40 lbs in 7 weeks! Un-be-lievable!

I also signed up as a Take Shape For Life coach yesterday. I'm telling you, this Medifast program is the best ever. It has given me a whole new lease on life, so I'm going to start singing its praises.

I hope I don't sound like a commercial. If you're new to this blog, take a look back through the years of posts and you'll see what I've been going through. Medifast works!

As a new coach, you may order through me here (www.weightoffmymind.tsfl.com) and I will personally assist you in your weightloss effort. I've been there, I'm still there and I've been through many of the same struggles you have been through. I understand.

279 Day 3: Weightloss Held Hostage

Okay...the jokes over. Come on Mr. Body. First you tease me and drop something like 18 pounds in one week and now this.

In the the spirit of Moses I proclaim, "Let my fat loss go! Let my fat loss go!"

Hello 270s!

Weigh in today: 277
Total loss since January 20: 37 lbs.

Don't ask me how long it's been since I've been in my 270's...at least 20 years.

2 pounds gone!

I had a nice surprise this morning. The scale read 280 lbs. That's about 5 lbs for the week! Whoop!

Stuck

Well, I'm still stuck at 282 lbs. Maybe tomorrow will break the jam? Finally found the "my medifast" community forums. Why was that so hard to find?

I haven't cheated one little bit yet. I did try to work out on the elliptical machine this afternoon. Oh man am I out of shape! After 5 minutes I thought I was going to die!

Onward through the fat! I mean, fog.

Impatient

I'm feeling a little down today. I don't know if it is the diet or the Oregon weather or what. I'm sure I'll be fine in a day or two.

Weighed in this morning at 282.4 I've lost 4 lbs in the last week. Not too shabby!
