Let's Start this Weight Loss Journey

SO today starts the first day of a 30 day liquid diet. Well I'll call it a half a day. I am so excited. The medsourcehealth.net shakes I bought are absolutely delicious and I get to have them all day. I think I should be very prosperous on this diet considering I get to eat all day. YAY!!!! What overweight person wouldn't want to go on a diet that allows them to eat all the time. Anyways the plan is practically the exact same as TheImpatientDieter on youtube.com and as listed on theeasywayshow.com. Same exercises, same shakes, probably different meals, but primarily the same.

I've only made a few modifications. One for example is the walking portion of the exercise. Yes I am still going to walk, but I have invested in a heart rate monitor to make sure that when I walk whether it is outside, at the gym, or at home walking with Leslie Sansome I am in the target heart rate zone that ensures that I am losing the maximum amount of weight while exercising. There's more about this on theeasywayshow.com and thewalkingsite.com. The other modifications that I will be making is to increase the amount of exercise I do as the diet progresses I'll explain more about this when the time comes.

I am so excited to start this diet not to mention that the shakes contain a lot of protein so I can only imagine what that and the water intake will do not only for my body, but also for my hair. (Double Bonus)

Starting pictures will probably come at the end of this challenge. I'm not quite ready to show what I am now until I can show that I have made some progress. This morning I did my weigh in. I officially weighed 238 lbs. The idea is really to get back down to 175 which means that I have over 50 lbs total to lose. But to start me off I am doing this 30 day liquid diet. If I must continue another 30 days to lose the total 50+ lbs. then hopefully I will be able to do that.

I'm so happy that I'm really about to lose weight you all really don't understand. This is just a journal of how I'm losing the weight. I just wanted to share that today January 19, 2010 I have started my weight loss journey officially. In ten days I will share how much weight I have lost and how things have been on my journey and hopefully I will be ready to share progression pics.
