Been an extremely busy week and extremely hot here in the Vegas Desert. I have been able to keep walking at least 4 miles/day and use a spray water bottle to stay cool. The evaporation in low humidity can make your body very cold no matter how hot it is. The air gets so dry here I have seen the rain evaporate before it hits the ground.
For some reason I keep getting unexpected errors on Fatsecret. Seriously... when is an error on the internet/website EXPECTED.

After 8 months of consecutive weight loss I find staying motivated becomes more of a challenge. Personally, I do not know many people who have lost as much weight as I have, but I am sure there are some on this site that can relate. It is a whole knew life. I could not even list all the benefits of how much better I feel. When I was walking this evening...I was trying to imagine carrying 2 50 pound suitcases on my back. That is how much effort it took when I was 330 pounds. I used to wake up coughing/choking at night all the time from all the acid reflux. I would wheeze with each breath. I was always tired from the sleep apnea and lack of REM sleep. I had such a hard time trying to tie my shoes. But these are the things that I do not want to forget. As long as I remember how miserable I was... I will not get complacent in my current lifestyle and revert back.

I see so many people on this website who's weight has been like a roller coaster. I think it is just as important to remember what series of events happened that cause the weight regain vs. the series of events that motivated you to lose the weight. We are all different and have our own reasons.

Something that I have done to help keep me motivated is.... Keep a picture of my highest weight on my refrigerator, bathroom mirror, and desk. I even keep that picture as my wall paper on my smart phone so I have to look at it to view my shopping list when I am at the grocery store. A picture paints a thousand words and that image of myself at my highest weight reminds me of total MISERY.

I strongly believe that weight loss does not have to be as hard as many make it. I am well aware that not everyone is the same. We all have different hormone levels, hormone resistances, metabolisms, life styles, and physical/medical conditions. But after completing the Intensive MOVE weight loss program, I know there is one thing we CAN DO and that is FINE TUNE our metabolism. And this has been one of the attributes of my successful weight loss.

Because we are all different, what may work for somebody may not work so well for somebody else. But I strongly believe there are many things that we do that make our weight loss much harder. And many don't know how hard they are making it for themselves.

If you had just one gasoline automobile for life... you would take care of it. You would fine tune it, put the best gasoline, and do all the preventive maintenance the manufacturer suggested. So why is it that we not do the same for our bodies? There is this thing called the Industrial Global Diet, and the Industries do not care much what kind of fuel you put in your only car for life.

The dieticians that advised me would tell me the changes I needed to make in my diet (No artificial sweeteners, processed foods, high fructose syrup) but they really did not elaborate on WHY i needed to make the changes in the beginning of the course. WHY is so very important!

I am sure if you asked any adult over 30 years old... If they could go back to high school and do it all over... would they try harder? Of Course they would because they know WHY. Our parents told us to do good in school so we could have a better life but did we believe them?

I know on this site I have been hard on people who still take artificial sweeteners. But something they may not know is that it kills the vital bacteria in our small intestines for proper digestion. Once you kill that bacteria it takes days for it to grow back. So only having artificial sweeteners only twice a week will impact your fine tuning for days. If you had to put gas in your car every day and only put diesel fuel twice a week... it is going to run like crap for more than just a few days.

Once again, we all have different metabolism, but we all have the ability to fine tune our metabolism and make weight loss as easy as possible. If it because to hard, and you constantly hungry during the weight loss it is a much harder fight.

I work with a lot of recovering heroin addicts in hospitals and institutions as a free service. I don't get paid for it. I was once a opiate addict and understand. It is a miserable addiction. I never met a heroin addict that was not miserable or wish they could stop. The success rate is very low and the ones who make it are the ones who can find the balance of life and learn to deal with the pain of life. I have seen so many heroin addicts stop for a while, but some issue or bad thing happens and they do not know how to deal with it. They relapse to instant relief of using again. I think emotional eating is very similar.

The key is to live in the moment and not worry or stress out about the future or past. So many times we worry about things that never happen and waste a lot of negative energy. We do this as a mental defense mechanism but usually winds up hurting is in other ways. This is another instance that has helped me in pain management to overcome many difficult situations in my life. And I wanted to share this info to maybe help some others here.

I had my Cardiac Stress Test yesterday and the Cardiologist was very impressed. She said what ever I am doing that I should keep doing. They hooked me up to lot of probes and put me on a inclined tread mill. To get my heart rate up to 150 bpm they had to keep increasing the speed. I was actually running on the tread mill before my heart was at my target rate. Something I learned in pain management is to breath with your diaphragm/lower stomach to get more oxygen intake and this will keep your blood better oxygenated and less work on the heart/lungs. I am still walking 90 minutes/day and still losing weight effectively so I am not really going to increase my activity at this time.

I lost 2 pounds in the last week and just been 2 busy to track all my food intake. Saw the VA doctor yesterday and I am off all my medications except for the vitamin supplements. She suggested that I add more salt to my diet because my blood pressure is still low. One of my primary goals to get healthy enough to where I could live medication free. I really think I owe most of my success to walking for 90 minutes a day and cutting out the diet soda/artificial sweeteners, and sugar. The dietician told me to restrict my salt intake because it can make you more hungry but I thought it was impossible to eat salt free. It seems everything has some sodium in it.
