Week 2 Weight Loss Update

Another week. Another weight loss update.

Transcript:

Ugh, gridlock!

So today is Monday which means of course that it's time for another weight loss update.

I've got some good news to share for this week.  You might recall from my last weight loss update video at the beginning of last week I was 376.8 lbs and when I stepped on the scale this morning, I was 371.8 lbs which means, I lost 5 lbs this week.

All in all that's 12.6 lbs since I started trying to lose weight so I am officially in the double digits which is a big milestone for me, and it marks the third consecutive week of sustained weight loss which is also some good news.

So as far as what I am going to stop start and continue this week, I am going to start making a conscious effort to take a walk and get out of the office during my lunch break and also just taking some short breaks throughout the day.

I've been looking at my step count on my UP Move recently and it's just been awful.  I am almost completely sedentary.  I barely get any steps on a day to day basis and I know I'm going to have to start incorporating some exercise if I want to be able to sustain this weight loss moving forward.

I am also going to start tracking other health related metrics.  I just bought a Withings Scale and I recorded an unboxing video which I'll post later this week, but I'm going to start using that to track things like my body fat percentage and resting heart rate and things like that just to get a better picture of my overall wellness situation.

One of the things I'm going to stop doing this week is that I'm going to stop eating carbs or at least severely limit the amount of carbs that I am eating.  I am hoping to shoot for less than 50 grams of carbs per day.  That's really going to be dependent on what they bring in for lunch at work, but I will try to come prepared with a backup meal just in case it's a carb explosion or something like that.

As far as what I am going to continue this week, I'm just going to continue doing everything else.  It seems like it's working and so no real reason to change up that formula.

Hopefully I'll be able to post some losses this week as well.  As always, if you're new to the channel, please click subscribe if you want to stay on top of any future updates that I might post and if you're on your own weight loss journey, I would love to hear in the comments below just about how you're doing.

What are the things you're doing that seem to be working?  Okay, thanks guys.
