Call me 'Blind Melon' Redneck
The watermelon in the picture weighs 262 pounds -- a Guiness Book record.I weighed in today at the doc's at 262 pounds -- a personal record, as far as I'm concerned. I was positive I'd put on pounds since the last check-in, in August, when I tipped the scales at 269. Oh, my blood pressure was 138/92 -- an improvement, too.
Major cool. That makes 32 pounds I've lost in a year, since I weighed in at 294 pounds and freaked out.
Mr. Phentermine helps me four days a week, and on those days I have a small bowl of cereal (usually Apple Jacks or Honey Nut Cheerios) for breakfast, no lunch, and a Subway sandwich with low-cal chips for supper, and usually a couple of cookies, and some milk.
Fridays, I eat what I damn well please -- and tonight it might be the whole dang Official State of Oklahoma Meal! :-) Weekends, I just don't gorge myself.
Also, I hit the treadmill three times a week at least, I'm not eating fast food, or processed food, hardly at all, and I'm eating more fruits and veggies.
That's it. Very cool.

Congratulations! You've done really well. I'm on the downward slide again too -- it was "do it or die" for me, which is a darn good motivator. It's nice that I can get a lot of walking in in this town.
Thanks, all. :-)
Hee hee. I celebrated with a ribeye and sweet tater for supper last night, and a ribeye and three eggs for breakfast this morning.
Back in the eatin'-right saddle on Monday!

I took diet pills when I was young and lost 35 pounds. I had so much energy I almost worked myself to death, but then I could not calm down and go to sleep. After a while, it was like I had worn myself out and I began to have a tremor in my hand which affected my handwriting. I never got over that and have difficulty writing, plus my head shakes a little at times. I would never take them again, and I also developed blood pressure problems. Maybe they will not harm you, but I am afraid of them.
That's great!
But wouldn't the steak and eggs be good on a diet - it's almost pure protein, no carbs...

You know, I get to CRAVING protein sometimes -- which is weird. I never used to miss it, since I never went without it.
BTW, my slovenly ways continued last night with a beef-and-pepperoni pizza, and today and tonight with pizza leftovers and Church's fried chicken. But I honestly am ready to get back in the saddle. Very cool. :-)
