I hit the high 280s on Saturday. I weighed 300 pounds on April 13th. Progress like this is tentative, because one week of binge eating can take me back to where I was before. That is what happened in March, when I went from around 286 to the high 290s because I bought $40 of junk food at Walmart.

Walking an hour before breakfast seems to be working really well, that might be an important variable to consider. Last summer I didn’t do hardly any walking, and I went from 259 pounds in April 2024 to the 290s in September 2024.

Another thing is eating home cooked Pinto beans mixed with brown rice and quinoa, in two burritos made with carb balance tortillas from Costco. I don’t eat more than two of those tortillas a day, the rest of the brown rice and beans I eat from a bowl.

I ordered some Chía seeds and they arrived. I tried two tablespoons in my oatmeal Saturday morning with two tablespoons of powdered peanut butter and they tasted great!

I ended up cutting out the Chia seeds because I felt they had too much fat.

I ate ground turkey with onions and sugar free barbecue sauce, with two carb balance tortillas for dinner Thursday night, and Friday morning I was 284.2 pounds, I’m at my lowest weight of the year so far!
