For all the DRS folks out there.

I’m now down over 40 lbs since starting my Sureslim program, even though I haven’t been really ‘on program’ for over 2 months — I’ve been in ‘maintenance mode’ lately. When I started this program, I had hoped to start running again at some point. That point is now here.

I’ve been getting out for a [...]

This morning the scale informed me that I was 190.0 lbs. Woot! Another milestone met. You can see my progress.

Two things stand out for me:

I haven’t been very strict over that past 6 weeks or so
I can’t remember the last time that I felt hungry.

Thanks Sureslim for helping me down this path.

When I weighed myself this morning, I was 193.0 lbs. That’s officially over half way to my goal weight of 160. Woot! I’m down 33.2 from my starting weight of 226.2 pounds in a bit over two months.

My progress has slowed down considerably over the past month. I was sick about a month ago for [...]

Well after hovering just above 200 pounds for the past two weeks - I’ve been sick for about that long - I’ve finally managed to drop below 200 pounds. This morning when I stepped on the scale, I measured in at a svelte 199.7 pounds. Ok, perhaps not svelte, but getting there. Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! [...]

Well, we missed our weigh-in last Saturday for a variety of reasons, mostly because our schedules were nuts. Then we drove down on Monday, forgetting that it’s Family Day in Alberta, and lots of businesses were closed. Oops!

As DJ is on a course all weekend, I bundled Kathryn up and we went to check in. [...]

DJ and I had our first Sureslim weigh-in this morning, our 5th full day on the plan. I began the program last Tuesday at 226.2 lbs and am now at 219.8 lbs, a loss of 6.4 lbs in less than 5 days! Whoop! Whoop!

On Tuesday (the first day) me head felt both heavy and light [...]

The “diet” officially begins today. DJ and I went to the Sureslim clinic yesterday to receive all of our materials and to get weighed and measured. I’m starting this program out at 226.2 lbs. Ummm, yikes!

Breakfast this morning for me consisted of 2 glasses of water, 170g yogurt mixed with 100g blueberries and 2 tablespoons [...]

I’ve been gaining weight for the past 10 years or so. I’ve been eating too much, and eating poorly. I’ve gone from an exercise regimen of running 50+ miles a week, weightlifting, golfing, etc, etc, etc, to complete and utter inactivity. I’ve ballooned from around 155 lbs [...]
