Update 03/12/2012

I'm seeing a lot of results with Nutrisystem. I started it on January 1st and since then I have lost 31.6lbs. I started at 293.6 and I am currently at 262. I am very pleased with the results. I stuck to their program pretty strictly for the first month or so. After that I ate out once in awhile. But I adjusted my caloric intake for the day and ate smaller portions when I did and still lost weight. I've done almost no exercising so far. This weight loss has been a straight diet change.

End of the Year Update

So I lasted 60 days on my last attempt at weight loss. In that time I had managed to lose about 25lbs, which had put me about one third of the way to my goal. I got burned out though. The eating became too monotonous to me. I was eating the same thing almost daily and after 2 months of it, I had enough. The getting up and working out every morning began to wear on me as well. So I started to slack a day here or there. And that signaled my downfall. Once I started doing that, it became harder and harder to get back into the groove, until I stopped doing it all together. I have not worked out since I stopped and I went back to eating horribly again. I've since put back on all the weight I lost.

But I am mentally ready to get back on track. I was waiting until after the holidays as I know those are the hardest times of year. I am starting to get more anxious to get started though. I am currently on vacation in a hotel and they have full length mirrors and I am disgusted by what I see. I look like an amorphous blob. I am not happy with that. Nor am I not happy with my clothes not fitting right. I got a really nice suit for Christmas and I want to make it look good. I can't do that right now.

My plan is to do the Power 90 program again. I saw good results on that and I felt good. I'm doing something different for meals though. I've signed up with Nutrisystem. I was a bit wary of the price, but figured I was spending about that much on healthy groceries anyway. Also, I get a lot more variety than I would have cooked for myself. The meals come already prepared and just need to be heated. So I don't have to worry about a lack of desire to cook things. I'm excited to get started on this again and start seeing the results I did earlier this year.

Here is hoping I stick with it until I hit goal this time. Third time is the charm right?
