I started at 270 lbs.
Today, January 17, I’m at 261.2 lbs.
That’s almost a pound a day this early in the journey. A great start—with an important caveat: a lot of this is water weight. I didn’t fully remove carbs, but I significantly scaled them back. I also haven’t started tracking calories or macros yet. Honestly, I didn’t feel like adding that mental load right away.
For the past 10 days, I’ve kept it simple:
• 10,000 steps daily
• More vegetables for fiber
• Removed starches from my plate (rice, potatoes, bread)
• Cut out chips and most snacks
• Kept one small piece of chocolate after meals
Lifting weights at least 3x per week is non-negotiable. That’s my anchor. Especially during a calorie cut, preserving muscle is critical.
I haven’t been counting protein, but I’ve significantly increased it and added one shake per day.
This is a marathon. Not a sprint.
I’m intentionally easing into it to reduce stress and make it sustainable.
On to Week 3.
