got on the scale yesterday and it read 274 pounds. so in two weeks i lost another 2 pounds. all without any exercise and just dieting better. my stomach pain went away and still dealing with leg burning and occasional hip pain.
still in physical therapy twice a week. they have me stretching, massage and needle therapy. i think i turned a corner in my recovery recently. felt better but still have a long way to go and i can't wait to be pain free.
stopped eating junk out of vending machines and started bringing microwavable pre made dinner to work. hadn't had daily and sugar in over a month. eating light and only having three meals and maybe a health snack if i still get hungry at bedtime. drinking water and tea with honey for my liquids. I drink coffee like once every six days since i can't drink without sugar and limit it to three cups and one tablespoon of sugar.
still working on my goal and improving everyday. take care and God Bless.

10 pound loss
May 10, 2014
as i reported last time, my issue with that severe gout pain when i had to go to the emergency room had a deep impact on me. that pain was so intense and disabling i swore to do something about it and not go thru that again.
well i had balloon up to 290 pounds at the end of march. also due to limited exercise from my back going out. with the back going out my spinal stenosis causes severe burning pain in my left calf muscle and buttock.
what i did was to almost cut sugar down to not eating any on some days to maybe one item and that it. i use to eat several sandwiches with wheat bread and pizza. cut out pizza entirely and only eat one sandwich every other day. these changes has made a huge inpact on my weight loss.
in about five weeks i lost 10 pounds, i now weigh 280 pounds. the most weight i've lost in a really long time. it goes to show that diet is the most important piece in weight loss. i also stop eating all day long, only eat three meals and no snacking. and if i do have an occasional snack, no chips, candy, or other bad foods. i will snack on a small fruit or peanut butter and jelly on a saltine cracker.
still going to physical therapy to get rid of the pain in my lower body. only movement i do now is stretches. until next time take care and God Bless.
