Wasting Away…At Least That’s the Plan
-
When my father called me in November and said that I needed to lose weight, I figured I REALLY needed to lose weight.
I started by exercising…running after work with my friend Tim, 2 or 3 times a week. I actually lost about 10lbs that month, but then it tapered off. I had gotten down to 230lbs and was pretty much stuck. My size 38 jeans were fitting a bit less snug, but I was in no danger of dropping a pants size with my routine.
In early December, I noticed a coworker who had apparently lost a lot of weight. I asked Alex how he did it. He just started counting his calories.
I figured I could do the same thing and be successful. I took Alex’s advice and signed up for an account at About’s Calorie Count.
I started counting my calories, but was determined not to go on a diet. I wanted to make a change to the way I eat.
After a few weeks, I no longer really need to count calories using the website. Occasionally, I look something up if I think that I am nearing my daily limit.
I have lost over 30lbs since November. I am down to 205lbs and expect to be under 200 before month’s end.
