A Crazy Person!

I just realized that I have been trying to lose weight since 2009! In June of 2008 I weighed 150lbs and then by Jan 2009 I weighed 200 and the weight just kept piling on. I was 230lbs when I started my weight-loss journey and today I am 260lbs! So what has happened?

Life Changes
1. I had a really stressful job.
2. I had a death in the family.
3. I have been a live in care taker for my grandma.
4. I had a mystery stomach illness.
5. My husband was unemployed for a year.
6. I quit my job.

The main trend I notice though is that I make tons of plans, but have very little follow through. I keep changing my philosophy on weight-loss every few weeks and that is not helping much. I think if I had just stuck to one plan this whole time I would have lost the weight. I think I am just trying to do too much.

Here is a list of all the crazy things I have tried so far....

1. Leslie Sansone Walk Away the pounds dvd (can't make noise in my apartment, boring)

2. Biggest Loser dvd (can't make noise in apartment, to challenging for me)

3. The Firm dvd and weight set (can't make noise, too challenging)

4. Jilliam Michaels dvd (can't make noise, too challenging)

5. Free weight books (not motivated)

6. Exercise bands (Too weird)

7. Stationary bike (location sometimes inconvient, boring and not challenging enough)

8. Out door walking (having time to do it difficult,bad weather)

9. 24hr fitness membership (too costly, did not like the classes, waiting for treadmills)

10. Weight-watchers (counting points suck, going to meetings hard)

11. Secrets of a former fat girl (nice book, should read it again)

12. Calorie King (not a calorie counter either)

13. The chicken soup diet ( too high in salt)

14. Meditation ( won't stick with it daily)

15. Dr. Smith diet ( too weird)

16. South Beach (too restrictive)

17. Atkins (way too restrictive)

18. Sommersize me (too weird and restrictive)

19. Eating salad only ( not enough food)

20. Eating fruit only (not enough fuel)

21. Eating just veggie burgers (not realistic)

22. The energy bar diet (just plain gross)

23. Protein shakes and smoothies ( too hard to make daily)

24. Cooking beans and riche and home cooked meals only ( who has the time)

25. Frozen dinners only (yuck)

26. Eat Clean (didn't trust myself)

27. The no s diet ( need to have snacks)

As you can see I have tried a lot of crazy things to lose weight. I have tried more than what is listed I just don't remember it right now.
