This is me In all my glory




From this time December on up to june 2008, I pledged to lose 65 lbs. This is my Goal. I want Everyone to watch how I lose the weight.

~DUCKY~

I'm making this thread...to show> how exact I can be when losing weight.

The photo shown above is dated: Dec 7./07

I'm going to add to this thread (On an on-going 'Month-to-month' basis)

I got my son to firstly take a pic of me 'far-off..in the distance'- only because I'm really 'self-consious' of pics.

I will ADD a pic every-so-often, (every month/or less) as to the progress: of how I'm losing weightl

I think this might be a first for ATS/BTS, as I show the progressive results at hand.

For posterity, and for the record: I'm over 200lbs.

You've seen my first pic. (I promise to have better quality footage- than what I posted.

My Goal: 145lbs. for the height of 5'8". < A respectable weight.

Now...here I go....'READY' TO LOSE THE WEIGHT.

Watch with me...from week to week...how I lose the weight!

I wish you the best Ducky!!! Anything you put your mind to you can and will achieve.....

I am working towards becoming a reformed smoker. It all takes self discipline, but we all have it in us.

Happy Holidays!

Best of luck to you! I know you can do it! My husband has lost almost 50 pounds since March, just from changing his eating habits. I know if he can do it, stubborn as he is, there is hope for almost anyone!

Keep us posted on the progress!!

Any points that I 'Earn..from hence on...I will be happy with.'

Knowing, that I 'earned' these points, is more important to me than 'somebody giving me an applause'.

"This is most important.

your doing what so many people wish they could do.
you GO!
looking forward to photos and updates.

my mother had gastric bypass surgery several years ago (for medical reasons). she lost 110lbs in one year, and people could hardly recognize her when she lost the weight.

be strong and go for it! get a bicycle too that you get to know and love. they can be a great way to get good exercise and have a good time, plus it's awesome culture!

cheers!

Good for you, keep it up!!

Next time try taking a picture outside, it gives the picture a more colourful and better feel to it, dark rooms dont come out good on crappy cameras, but light rooms look better quality

Try your best!

Remember to excercize 5 days a week, then it will become a habit, and you will do it without thought and it will become easier.

A good breakfast, I say is oatsmeal. Honey for sweetner.

It's 12:18am here.

Going to bed now.

~Ducky~

all the best. i look forward to reading your planned diet / etc.

All the best too ya ducky duck.


If you drink sodas, might I suggest cutting them out completely and switching to water?

If you do indeed drink them and do indeed switch to water, you will lose that weight LONG before June.


That's what I did haha.


It MELTED off me.




EDIT TO ADD:



Oh yea, stay away from Deadflagblues! He'll tell you that you MUST switch to the vegan lifestyle. That sort of propaganda is bad for us meat eaters.




*sigh* dirty vegan bastid!


Good luck and if you need an a-hole for a coach, shoot me a u2u.

Ducky's Diary

Yes...I realise the time 12:53am Dec.15/07

I've kept to this diet in the last few weeks since I posted:

Morning:
1-2 eggs/scrambled in Nuker.
1 Tablespon of butter/salt & Pepper.
1-3 cups of Jasmine Green tea (loose-leaf) - depending on how I feel
1-2 pieces of toast (w.butter)

Afternoon:
Most likely nothing at all.
Probably only liquids - I love V-8 vegatable juice drinks
The reason being is when I work, clean homes, I don't feel the need to 'eat'. Only because 'if' I did eat, I would feel 'bogged down/lathargic' if I chowed down on something, I wouldn't clean my homes in a proper and timely fashion. I'm staying away from soft-drinks (too much sodium) I love organic fruit-juices...

Evening:
Very hungry at this point; ravenous. I'm in control of my behaviors. I don't exhibit 'hungry like a bear' attitudes. It's at this point in the evening that I question my dietary intake. I realise that I am 'starving' myself from 'afternoon period to evening'.

What can I eat/drink from the afternoon period to evening, that will stave off hunger?

To date: I've lost 8 lbs.
