Joining the Club!
Hello! My name is Mike and this past Monday I started my induction! I am a 20 year old college student and currently weighing in at 376 lbs (as of Monday 4/26). I was encouraged when at the beginning of March before Spring Break I had weighed myself at 388 and from March to April had lost 12 pounds just by simply eating a bit less. I figured if my body was willing to dispose of the pounds with such a simple change, what wonders could I do if I really put the effort into it!? I then decided.. I am 20 years old, and ruining my own life with my lack of control and willingness to lose the weight. I am also starting a study abroad program this fall out of the country and need to be on my way to a better lifestyle with my weight.
So far this week I think I have done very well. I don't want to weigh until the end of my induction but it is very difficult! My foods have consisted of a variety in preparation of eggs, some bacon (not more than 3 or 4 pieces in a week!), a lot of chicken breasts, some turkey burgers, I try to get about a cup of greenery in a day (yes, I need more I'm sure), and have been drinking a minimum of 2 L of water per day. I also have about 2 pieces of cheese a day and some Sugar Free Jello and Light Whipped Cream. I'm not bored of the food yet. I like what I eat even if I am missing pasta and cereal and a whooole bunch of other goodies! :P
I've only been to the gym one day this week though and I need to make it a regular thing. I am good at doing about 1 mile on the elliptical and 1 mile on the track walking. I want to do that and gradually increase as I can. That will be my primary focus in week 2 of induction.. getting my butt to the gym for at least SOME movement!
Wish me luck! I hope everyone else is doing well and I hope that I can be here to support everyone else facing the same journey as myself!
Take care!
Mike

I think the vegetable thing is because I'm scared. I ve gone 4 days without messing up and was afraid I'd eat the wrong vegetables or too much BUT I am becoming more familiar with the list and can start adding more in! I am quite excited to add in grilled mushrooms actually.. yum yum!
