I am a list maker, and a chart maker. When the girls had their dance recital, I charted and listed the order of their line-up, costumes, dressing room, etc. about 5 different ways! I guess it's how I think. So now this weight loss journey is no exception.
The first chart that I made is a weight loss chart. I figured out that if I want to lose a total of 126 pounds, each 10% is 12.6 pounds. So I made a chart in 10 sections for each 10%, and what my weight would be, my BMI, and my "classification" (obese, overweight, etc). Then each section has a couple of lines to show how much I lost each week within that 10%. So I am writing down my weight every Tuesday, since my base weight started on a Tuesday.
I was making a list of what I am consuming. Today I turned it into a chart. There are 6 columns for time, food intake, oz., calories, protein, and key vitamins. I also have a check off for the two chewable vitamins I need to take, and for the vit D that I need to take since mine is low (normal is 30, mine is 19). I have a spot for the date, current weight, and the exercise I did that day.
If any of you are reading this because you are considering doing this surgery, and you want a copy of these things, let me know. :-)
