360 Pounds of Hot Goodness
I bought a scale online from Walmart.com and it came in yesterday. I had to buy one online because most of the ones that are at the store have a 300-330 pound limit. I knew that I probably weighed about 330-340 and I wanted one that would weigh me accurately, so I found one that is digital and weighs up to 350LBS’.
I was so excited when my scale arrived that I brought it to work so that I could set it up and play with it all afternoon yesterday. I made everyone that I could get on the scale and weigh and then I got on and was shocked to find that it weighed me at 360.4 pounds!!!!! Holy Goodness! 360?!?!?! How is that possible? Most of my clothes are a little snug, but they still fit, the same ones that fit when I weighed 320. Then I got to thinking about it- that scale that said I weighed 320 was probably 20 pounds off since it only went to 300 and it was not digital. And so now, finally I have a good scale that tells me exactly what I weigh and I can start moving forward with some extreme weight loss.
I have mapped out the plan since I have done this before- it goes something like this.
Go to the grocery store and get 100 dollars worth of good food. Bananas, salad, salsa, chicken, fruit, etc.
Then run a total of 20 miles a week- it doesn’t matter how you do it, just do it. And I don’t mean walk 20, I mean run 20. Normally 4 at a time is the perfect number for fast weight loss. If you can’t run 4 all at once, then work your way up to it.
Eat Cheerios for breakfast with skim milk and add a banana. Potassium and Fiber- great for weight loss- if you know what I mean.
Stay away from places that cause too much temptation, i.e. malls, restaurants, grocery stores, friends houses, etc.
Lift weights. I don’t like to do it, but you don’t want to lose muscle in this process so you have to eat lots of protein and lift weights to help balance out the weight loss.
Measure inches. The scale doesn’t always show inches lost.
Don’t be too restrictive. Being too restrictive only makes you want to give up. Eat a piece of good cake or ice cream at least once a week- then go run an extra two miles you big porker!!!

Good tips! Now I feel like eating a banana :D
I weigh about 235lb. and my goal is to loose 220 pounds by next summer. Do you think I can do it?
i like the new look of your site, eddie. a new look for a new you? ;) sweet.
i think that your workout plan sounds good. i've been walking 4 miles a day. a far cry from running, though. i don't think i could run a tenth of a mile if my life depended on it!!
did heather ever call you about dinner with us? i promise we'll make something healthy. no temptations. (but save your piece of cake or ice cream for when we get together - to make it easy, we'll give you at least a week's warning!)
Jes! Yes, I would love to do dinner- I remember needing to call Heather back, but I am the worst about returning phone calls- emails and comments are the best-I always reply to those if necessary. :)
Cody- do you really want to lose 220 pounds? then you would only be 15 pounds and you would be dead. :(
If you want to lose 15, then that should be no problem... Just follow my guidelines...
What up Big Fella, two words for you SOUTH BEACH, I am starting tomorrow and will let you know how it is. I got mad love for the new scale, brotha like me needs to invest in one as well. Last time I checked the weight was creeping up to 270!!!!!
