Losing weight is like playing tug of war. You gain some ground, then lose it all and go back to where you started. Over and over again, this process repeats itself. I think the key is to set boundaries, and not allow yourself to go above a certain weight after losing ground.

So if I start at 290 and my record low is 259 pounds and I get down to 235, then I shouldn’t allow myself to get above 249. Every time I lose weight and gain some back, I need to set a boundary like this. This is the only way to make progress, because losing some ground is inevitable.

I’ve bumped it up to an hour of walking before breakfast, I can really feel the difference compared to walking for 40 minutes in the morning before breakfast.

My weight has remained stable for too long, so I’m cutting out guacamole and ordering Chia seeds to put in my oatmeal instead. That should also save me some money.

I was going to skip my walk on Thursday, but changed my mind and decided to go. I wonder how long it will take to see results?

Here is my weight loss plan:

June 2025: -4 pounds 288 by the end of June

July 2025: -4 pounds 284 by the end of July

August 2025: -4 pounds 280 by the end of August

September 2025: -4 pounds 276 by the end of September

October 2025: -4 pounds 272 by the end of October

November 2025: -6 pounds 266 by the end of November

December 2025: -6 pounds 260 by the end of December

January 2026: -8 pounds 252 by the end of January

February 2026: -8 pounds 244 by the end of February

March 2026: -8 pounds 236 by the end of March

I hope to stick to this template!
