Default I wanna fit into a booth!
Hi!

I go by Sledge. I am 47 years old. Over the past year and a half, I have lost over 100 lbs. I do not know my actual starting weight. I starved myself for three weeks before going to the doctor where I weighed in at, gulp, 406. I figure I was around 425 or so before that. I lost the weight by following a modified South Beach plan and doing Leslie Sansone walk tapes.

I got down to about 270 and then stalled and then gained back 40 lbs. A week ago, I started again and I have lost 12 lbs and am now at 294. I would like to someday weigh 150 but my first goal is to fit into all restaurant booths. It is mortifying to not fit. I don't want the anxiety anymore.

I just started a blog so I will be accountable to the world.

It is on blogger and it is entitled Booth or Bust! (I cannot link it here yet)

I am currently getting 5 days of lunches and dinners from BistroMD, a meal delivery service. I started getting 7 days of breakfasts, lunches, suppers, and snacks. After less than 1 week, I found myself craving a salad or apple so that is shy I switched to lower plan. The food is actually OK but the plan is expensive. I am going to try to stick with it for discipline purposes.

I have not started to exercise yet but my plan is to walk everyday until the snow comes and then switch to Leslie Sansone.

I am totally inspired by Zeusmeatball at One Man's Trip to the Half blog. Maybe once I can actually walk three miles, I will do the C25K program. What a thrill that would be.

I appreciate any and all encouragement and wish all of you the best of luck and goodness as we become healthy and fit!!! It will be a long haul for me but I am determined.

I wanna fit in a booth!!!!

Peace.

Sledge

That is why I named by blog booth or bust on blogspot because either I will fit into a damn booth again or give up.......and I am not going to give up!

Thank you so much for your welcome and all of your support!
