My Starting Point

This was my all time HIGH weight a few months ago- I yo yoed down and back up to 321 just last week. I started my program on Tuesday of last week. Today is Monday evening. I have lost "weight" but I know it is mostly water balancing as I am doing a low carbohydrate diet approach. As you rid carbohydrates out of your system so goes the water molecules attached to them. It feels good but don't get to giddy the fat loss is just starting.

I am not just dieting but hitting the gym again as well. I plan to post what I am doing and the progress I am making on my journey to lose 100 lbs of fat. My goal is to show everyone a set of ripped abs before the year is over. The last time I had a set of ripped abs I think I was 10 years old. By the time I was 13 I gained a layer of fat that covered my abs. I was a athlete in high school and college and still had fat over my abs. I raced bicycles at Cal Poly and was 10% body fat but still did not have ripped abs. My goal is to show my abs.

So what am I doing about my diet program. I am taking what I think are the best principles on burning fat and using my Engineering Background to design a program that simple burns fat without serious restrictions. I am NOT using HCG and doing 500 calories per day- I tried it with the homeopathic stuff and I lasted about 3 days- I loved the "loading" phase eat all the bad food you want- but starvation is not my style. I think I am taking the best principles from low carbohydrate dieting or call it ketogenic diets and putting it together. I am using principles from Paleo, Atkins, Dukan and others to construct a fat burning program that works best for me. I think it can help others too, so I will share my success and what I am doing.

So how did my first week go? This morning I weighed in at 307 lbs. 14 lbs in 6 days- most of it is water. My goal is to break 300 lbs. I want to do it by next week- say Monday or Tuesday. I am not sure what day I am going to weigh in yet. I have more than 7 lbs to burn. I don't have all day to go to the gym as I work as an Engineer in Electronics. The job is stressful and that is bad for losing weight. Cortisol is our enemy. I need to hit the gym. Join me on my 100 lb fat loss journey. I will show you how for FREE!
