Tanner's Update

So I know it's a little tacky to post my weight loss or how I've done on the diet, but I want to be held accountable. If I post it on here where others can read it then I hopefully it will motivate me to achieve my goals.  My 6 week goal is 25 lbs, and my 5 month goal is 53 lbs.

Week 1: I did really well with sticking to the diet and ended up losing just over 6 lbs! I'm sure a lot of that was water weight. I also quit drinking diet coke cold turkey and suffered through the headaches for a couple days. My only weakness was snacking in between meals, especially on almonds.

Week 2: My week started great. In 3 days I had lost 4lbs, but on day 4 and 5 I had a couple business dinners and cheated on both days. I don't really care that I cheated a little bit, but that on days 6 and 7 I lost control of my appetite and ate way too many snacks. They were healthy, but again went overboard on the almonds, and on day 6 I ate a whole thing of sugar free pudding (280 Cal). Anyway, I ended up only losing 4.5 lbs for the whole week. Which brings my grand total to around 10.5 lbs in 2 weeks.

My goal for week 3 is to CUT DOWN ON EATING BETWEEN MEALS. Again I don't really care that I ended up cheating a little on the diet. Nina and I keep saying that we are going to be as perfect as possible, but also live our lives. So if one week something comes up where I have to buy something at work because I forgot a lunch, well then so be it. I'm going to avoid these situations, but not going to beat myself up when they happen. Overall I feel really good on the diet. I feel a lot more in control of my hunger and I'm learning to study, watch football, and read without eating the entire time. Hopefully I finally grow some cojones and lose the weight!!!
