Day 1

Alright here goes.   Today is day one.  After reading multiple posts, blogs and going back to my weight loss diaries I am starting with a new plan here.  I am going to take some ideas and mesh them together in order to put together a plan that I think and hope will work for me.  As of today my stats are :

Height: 5'10"
Weight: approx. 254 lbs
Pants size: 18 womens

Shirt size: x-xx

Goal weight: 164lbs
Goal size: 10 womens and Medium shirt

Okay. Here is my plan of action.  There are going to be a couple stages so that I don't feel overwhelmed going into this.  For the next two weeks I am going to cut out meat, alcohol, caffeine and smoking.  *sigh*.  I know this is a lot upfront but I am not going to have caloric or sugar restrictions for the first two weeks.  I am just going to try and purge some of the preservatives, etc from my body in order to be a little healthier going in.

After the next two weeks I will be cutting out soda and all carbonated beverages.  I will be replacing them with non carbonated flavored waters.  I know there will be more to this stage but right now I am starting to get nervous about the first stage.  :o)

So far today I have had a little slip.  I age about two ounces of meat.  However I have had no alcohol, caffeine or cigarettes.  I feel a little unsure and kind of nauseous about starting a new weight loss way without people having done it before and saying oh yes do it this way.  I don't know if I will suceed or fail but I would rather try and not succeed than assume my actions will fail.
