I decided to finally start a weight loss diary.

To catch you all up, I will say I began my diet weighing in at around 345lbs back in the end of October. Today I weighed in at 249 lbs.

Starting weight 345 lbs October 26, 2016
Current Weight: 249 lbs March 5, 2017 (131 Days)
Net loss: 96 lbs

Yesterday I ate:

Breakfast: McDonald Egg McMuffin and a Hashbrown
Lunch: Two Protein Bars
Dinner: 20 piece Chicken nuggets with sweet and sour
Snack through the Day: 4oz of Beef Jerky
Drink: About 1 Liters of Diet Soda through the day, and a few cups of water.
Exercise: None (I work out 20-30min every weekday, but so far never on weekends)


Today:
Breakfast: A protein Bar
Lunch: Another protein Bar
Dinner: Two bowls of noodles and pork
Snack through the Day: 6oz of Beef Jerky
Drink: About 1 Liters of Diet Soda through the day, and a few cups of water.
Exercise: None (I work out 20-30min every weekday, but so far never on weekends)

These are very typical meals for me. I really don't feel hungry with these meals, and I am getting good weight loss still.
 
Welcome to the forum and congratulations for your loss so far :)
 
I really hope I can get to my goal weight of 189 lbs by this year. I have been reading diary of people on here who were about as big as me, 340+ lbs and are now under 200. It really gives me inspiration to read their diaries, makes me think I can do it too, especially now that I am over half way there.
 
Welcome to the forum! We certainly do have a few members who started out at a similar weight and are now under 200. Very inspiring. :]
 
Here is a weekly update of my weight loss journey. Hit 100 lbs loss. In October 100lbs loss seemed like a distance fantasy. :)

I lost another 4 lbs this week. I have been averaging about 4 lbs a week for a little over a month now. I am still eating on average 1,700 calories a day, eventually this will lower to 1,500 calories as I get close to 189lbs. Also usually at what BMI does weight loss drop to 1 to 2lbs a week, I am really nervous about my weight loss slowing down to under 2lbs a week and getting discouraged.

Weight loss is 3LBs again this week. Was averaging 4lb a week, hope this doesn't mean I am going plataue soon. Still averaging about 1,700 calories a day, and doing 30-40 min of workout Monday to Friday.
 
I doubt it means a plateau on the way. You are consistently losing & you are consistently working out & sticking to your cals. Well done DSMan!
 
Thanks for the replies. This I the farthest I have ever come in my weightless journey. Three years ago I was able to get down to 280, and it all fell apart. I need to make sure that doesn't happen this time.
