Here's Kevin:
Weight 272½. That's right, I'm counting the half-pound as well. I feel like a 6-year-old kid, when they correct you about their age by saying, "I'm 6½" and not just "6." I'm starting to realize that I need to work harder on my diet. I should have lost more weight by now.
If you are not losing weight at the rate you would like, it has to be one of two things. Either your intake (the amount of calories you are consuming) or your output (the amount of calories you're burning).
I believe in my case it's the intake. I have dramatically changed my diet by eliminating fast food and breads. But I need to change the portions of my meals. Spread them throughout the day and not fall back into the three meals-a-day routine.
When you take on a lifestyle change of becoming fit, you start to notice the number of TV shows, commercials and everyday conversations about getting into shape. I saw a commercial about an upcoming Oprah show with former American Idol contestant and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson revealing her weight-loss secret.
Note to Oprah: We have seen one million Weight Watchers commercials with Jennifer Hudson. I think we know by now.
I may not seem to be that encouraged with my weight loss, but I am with the number of inches. I’m losing inches in key places on my body and increasing in other areas, like my arms and calves.
