peter the fat man's Journal, 11 February 2015

My 2nd week here, I know I've lost a pile of weight, and I know what people say about losing weight too quickly, it's going to go back on as quick etc.
My mother died back in december, and I hit the junk and the beer and soft drinks and my weight went up rapidly, she wasn't buried until a month later, so I had a month of super binging, I suppose through my own sadness and loss. so two days after the funeral, I joined this group, the first week I lost nineteen pounds(I know, way too much, but when you stop eating crap and go to the loo 4-5 times a day, the weight soon rolls out) and now this week 5lbs, a lot more effort for this week though.
If I was to say what has helped e lose weight so far, I have been detoxing religeously, walking around 50 miles a week, reducing my calorific intake from about 2000 calories down to 1500 calories, I have started swimming and intend to swim about 3-4 miles a week, and feeling tight already!
249.0 lb Lost so far: 24.0 lb.    Still to go: 79.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Sorry to hear about your mum. A lot of the fast lost weight would have been water weight but your plans sound great stick to that and the fat will melt away! Be careful not to go too low on the calories if you are being so active as you might lose energy and your body will crave carbs. I'd recommend finding out exactly how many calories your body burns each day then aiming for a 500 calorie deficit. If you burn 2500 eat 2000 for example. Also make sure you eat enough lean protein so you don't lose lean muscle mass. Good luck it sounds like you are doing great though!

Sorry for the loss of your mom. You have lost a good bit of weight quickly but I think it's normal given the changes you've made, great changes by the way. Don't be discouraged if the weight loss slows, keep at it and you'll make your goals a reality. The results make all the hard work worth it.
