Weight loss journey, week 4

This week was a little hard to get to the gym and actually work out. Trying to watch my eating habits is proving to be very difficult. I believe because of this I may have gained, or loss no weight what-so-ever. I hope that I can get back on track here and do what I need in order to better my life and health.

Miles Walked/Run: 6.84+ Miles

Desired Weight Loss: 84 lbs.

Total Weight Loss: 16 lbs.

Losing weight is getting increasingly difficult. Trying to watch my calories and the amount of exercise I am getting. This weekend I got to go to the Goat Cook-off which I walked around a lot there just looking at things with my wife.

Weight loss journey, week 3

Well this week there was a lot of miles for me. I didn’t calculate the amount of calories burned for doing waits, so I would give it a slight increase. According to Snap Fitness my fitness score is 7/40… which is poor. But total wait loss is 12 lbs. I guess that’s not too bad. I hope to get myself up to the 20-40′s in my fitness score. It will take time.

 

Miles Walked/Run: 13.45

Calories Burned: 1,741

Weight: 288 lbs.

Waist: 50″

BMR: 2592.84 Calories

Desired Weight Loss: 88 lbs.

Total Weight Loss: 12 lbs.

Weight loss journey, week 2

This week has not been as productive, however I did join a gym and I am starting to work out each day that I can possibly work out. The calories burned here are based on what the machine says, but the actual weights is hard to determine the actual calories burned which should be more.

 

Miles Walked/Run: 4.75

Calories Burned: 1134

Weight: 291 lbs.

Waist: 50″

BMI: 28%

BMR:  2630.22 Calories

Desired Weight Loss: 91 lbs.

Total Weight Loss: 9 lbs.

Slowly but surely…

Weight loss journey, week 1

This was a little tough to motivate myself to actually get out there and exercise. I exercised every other day by walking, the last day of the week for me to exercise I ran as much as I could.

Miles Walked/Run: 7.5

Calories Burned: 1581

Weight: 294 lbs.

Waist: 50″

BMI: 28%

BMR:  2630.22 Calories

Desired Weight Loss: 94 lbs.

Total Weight Loss: 6 lbs.

I feel good about losing the 6 pounds. I hope that next week I have similar results if not better.

Starting my weight loss journey

After the death of my step-father in June, I have been thinking long and hard about my life and my health. My step-father had high cholesterol among other things. My father and mother both have high blood pressure and are overweight with many complications. I don’t want the same fate for me. Finally after struggling with myself on starting to lose weight, I have started to exercise and try to eat right.

In this effort I am starting out with these statistics:

Height: 5’10″

Weight: 300 lbs.

Waist: 50″

BMI: 28%

BMR: 2667.6 Calories

Desired Weight Loss: 100 lbs.

My plan is to lose 100 lbs before July 28th, 2012. This should be safe by losing approximately two pounds each week. I will be posting every week updates on my status.
