Weight Loss Journal Entry #1 – Josh's Journey To Reach His Goal Weight

Hey everyone! Its Josh Caudill from Austin, Indiana. I have decided to start keeping a weekly journal to track my weight loss story as I proceed with my life-changing journey. So far, I have lost 122 pounds. It has been the most drastic change of my life I have ever made. Anyway, that was a little bit of my background information. Make sure to read my entire weight loss success story and photos!

I weigh-in usually once a week, generally on Monday afternoons, due to school hours. Today is my weigh-in date and I am honestly nervous. I ate a lot of stuff that I shouldn’t and I didn’t go to the gym for a couple days. But no matter what happens at the weigh-in, I will look ahead to my goals and realize that it’s a new day and I just need to work towards the future.

This past Saturday I had my senior prom. Due to the fact that I weighed almost 500 pounds one year ago, I never danced, let alone walked into public places. So I took a close friend, who is a really good-looking girl, to the prom and I was super nervous. We walked in and it seemed that everyone bombarded me with compliments about how good I looked. I wasn’t used to all the compliments but it was awesome! Then after pictures came time to dance! I was so nervous, I had no idea what to do. I mean I knew how to slow dance but not fast dance like all the kids do. Well I sucked it up and went out there and turns out that I'm not a bad dancer at all! I danced for almost 2 hours straight! It was one of the best nights of my life, and an awesome workout!
