Although things have slowed down, it's my own weaknesses that created that. I've re-committed myself to sticking with the plan and am hoping to see in increase in weekly losses.<br /><br />My current pace, after 3 wks has been 0.8lbs per day of loss. The good news is that at this rate I should reach my initial goal of losing 145 lbs by mid August, just 5 months away. I had originally set that goal for the end of the year, so it's still good news.... but I can be doing better...<br /><br />I hope the next time I post to have reached 20 lbs down and moved that new target date up a bit more.<br /><br />-Steve<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6565899625578620204-7166738282949661431?l=steveandkellyhunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186744951303650871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565899625578620204.post-69993780026257405632010-03-13T08:22:00.000-08:002010-03-13T08:28:43.538-08:00OK, so it's been awhile since my last post. I've had a few times where I've struggled and eaten stuff I shouldn't have...like Pizza... or been "grazing" on things like dinner leftovers or crackers....<br /><br />However, overall, I'm still doing the plan and each morning I wake up jazzed about making today a better day.<br /><br />Stat update... I've now lost 14.7 lbs!<br /><br />Despite a few slips, I'm still planning on making this year the year that I finally lose it all.... weight that is!<br /><br />-Steve<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6565899625578620204-6999378002625740563?l=steveandkellyhunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186744951303650871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565899625578620204.post-48517845635232991532010-03-02T08:25:00.000-08:002010-03-02T08:37:26.074-08:00Lost 11.5lbs!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6565899625578620204-4851784563523299153?l=steveandkellyhunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186744951303650871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565899625578620204.post-45456453941860474322010-02-28T09:52:00.000-08:002010-02-28T09:54:13.148-08:00wow.<br /><br />It's a lot easier to stay on track when you see the scale go down daily.

I don't say that enough. He has spoken to me in this last week as I ponder my weight loss and my future. I signed up to receive some verses (2) by text message each day. I got my first one on the day I started (yesterday) and here's what it read:<br /><br />Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11.28<br /><br />Then the next one came in the afternoon:<br /><br />I look to the mountains; where will my help come from? My help will come from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Ps. 121:1-2<br /><br />Then on the morning of day 2 (today) I got this one:<br /><br />Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the LORD your God, am with you wherever you go. Joshua 1.9<br /><br />Tonight I met a gentleman who's going on the journey with MediFast too. He wanted to pray for me.<br /><br />God is speaking. I'm here, I'm listening. Thank you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6565899625578620204-777295238198817370?l=steveandkellyhunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186744951303650871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565899625578620204.post-55602404574203817002010-02-24T07:39:00.000-08:002010-02-24T07:42:07.543-08:00Well, day 1 went pretty well I'd have to say. I followed my scheduel perfectly. I woke up when I wanted to, I ate the right things at the right times, and I ended it by going to bed on time.<br /><br />A perfect day!<br /><br />I don't dilute myself into thinking I have to be perfect, but there's no reason not to celebrate starting off on the right foot!<br /><br />-Steve<br /><br />PS: I lost 1.5lbs also!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6565899625578620204-5560240457420381700?l=steveandkellyhunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186744951303650871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565899625578620204.post-75245786891831313792010-02-23T07:59:00.001-08:002010-02-23T08:00:43.176-08:00Finally, my MediFast food arived yesterday evening.

I'm about to start a journey that finally take me where I want to go.<br /><br />My track record certainly does not speak to my new confidence, but I really feel good about this year, despite the dissappointing start.<br /><br />I'm going on the Medifast plan as soon as my meal replacements arrive, which should be later this week.<br /><br />visit our website for more details, but I'll make updates here as I go.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.steveandkellyhunt.com/">www.steveandkellyhunt.com</a><br /><br />-Steve<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6565899625578620204-8780655044887145182?l=steveandkellyhunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186744951303650871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565899625578620204.post-85788310677929515902010-01-16T10:03:00.001-08:002010-01-16T10:04:06.179-08:00Finally hit 10 lbs lost today.....Excited for that.

This week (week 2) I lost 0.8 lbs. I think it's a result of a few things....<br /><br />First, it's kindof like the week 2 curse on "The Biggest Loser". The contestants traditionally always struggle in week 2 as their bodies adapt to the new diet.<br /><br />Second, I still haven't really begun to excersize at all. I know that this is an importnt component I've been neglecting.<br /><br />Lastly, I actually think I need to eat a bit more.... It takes 3,844 calories to maintain my current weight. I've made a plan to eat around 2,700 and so far I've only been doing right around 2,000. This is probably a bit low for my weight and may be causing my body to hold on to the fat because I'm not eating enough. So this wek I'm trying to inch that up a bit.... Although I want a bit more calories, I'm still trying to shoot for about 40% of those calories to come from carbs, 35% from protein and the last 25% from fats. Clearly, trying to make good food choices inside of those targets.<br /><br />OK. well.....I'll write more later.....<br /><br />-Steve<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6565899625578620204-7119508842067974955?l=steveandkellyhunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186744951303650871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565899625578620204.post-65777034612086764882010-01-10T10:07:00.000-08:002010-01-10T10:13:17.881-08:00Here's the problem with weighing in everyday... you see all the little flucuations that your weight just kinda naturally does. Today it looks like I gained back 3 lbs. This is why Kelly always tells me I shold weigh in once a week instead of daily...<br /><br />I'm not as bugged by the scale as I used to be, I know this is just the way it works and tomorrow it will probably look like I lost 5 lbs when it comes back around....<br /><br />On the excersize front, I got on the treadmill yesterday even though I did not feel like it at all. I only walked for 5 minutes and I think there are 2 reasons for that. 1) I really was not into it. 2) It always maked my lower back start to get sore when I first get started, and it was really aching after 5 minutes. The success is that I got on it when I didn't feel like it. The bummer is I didn't push myself past being uncomfortable.<br /><br />later...<br /><br />-Steve<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6565899625578620204-6577703461208676488?l=steveandkellyhunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186744951303650871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565899625578620204.post-110973520576161702010-01-08T07:47:00.000-08:002010-01-08T07:51:34.452-08:00Well, my first week and I lost 7.1 lbs. I'm very happy with a pound-a-day. I'm ahead of my tracking plan for the year. It's interesting that I was at 8 lbs and then didn't really track my food very well the last couple days and the weight inched back up a bit. Really shows how quickly it can come back when you start to slip. I'm not complaining and I should note that alot of initial weightloss in the week probably comes from the loss of retained water. I know I lost some of the water I was retaining because my feet aren't so swollen.<br /><br />Anyway...that's enough from me this morning.....<br /><br />-Steve<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6565899625578620204-11097352057616170?l=steveandkellyhunt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve Hunthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186744951303650871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565899625578620204.post-90027270001043367962010-01-07T22:22:00.000-08:002010-01-07T22:23:57.248-08:00Erin received her first semester grades today and had 2 B's and the rest were A's.
