Fatties. My money where your mouth is.

[whipsaw]

Saw this thread awhile ago, and I'm rooting for everyone! I just started a weight loss plan this past Monday. I'm going with the Weight Watchers point system, so lets see how it goes. I'll keep a weekly update on here, if it isn't too big of a hijack.

My stats - 26 years old, huge fatty (380 lbs on Monday morning), 6'3". I thought I was 350 before I weighed myself. Whoops!

So far - I haven't reweighed myself, planning on doing that once a week (every Monday morning). I get 34 points per day and another 35 points to use whenever I want throughout the week, and I've kept under my limit each day so far this week. Essentially, you get a point for every 50 calories or 12 grams of fat in any food. So basically I'm eating a 1500 calorie, 48 grams of fat diet. Definitely a cutback from my norm.

I'm trying to work out 3-4 times per week. 30 minutes of running is supposed to give me an additional 9 points per day for WW. I ran 20 minutes yesterday and today, but haven't used the extra points yet. Supposedly you get to bank them for use throughout the week.

Goal - 100 lbs off by 6/1/07, and 25 lbs off by 8/1/06.

Wish me luck!
