Day 1 - Pictures, Weigh-in, Food Log

Today is the day I start really working on my weight. I've started by posting pictures of what I look like now. :-(

Today was a good day, but started out a little rocky. Woke up with a headache and took several hours to get rid of it. I have a history with migraines, so I don't do well with any kind of headache. Most headaches also make me feel sick to my stomach.

Since this is the day I'm starting, I'll list my weight. It was a little better then what I thought it was going to be, but not much better.

Weight: 292 - (Goal for next weigh-in on Dec 27th is 290)

Exercises: None
I will work on going for a walk doing my lunch break. My plan is to walk for 30 to 45 mins every workday at lunch.

Food Log:
Took Alka Seltzer for headache and stomach problems associated to headache.
Double shot of espresso. – Been trying to cut down on coffee, but sometimes when I wake up with a headache, caffeine is the only thing that will help me lose the headache
Tangerine Emergen-C with about a cup of water. (20 Calories, 5g Sugar, 1000mg of Vitamin C)
Chocolate peanut Butter – Zone Perfect Bar (210 Calories, 7g Fat, 4g Sat Fat, 14g Protein)
Ham Sandwich
Zipfizz Liquid Shot (30 Calories, 0g Sugar)
Satsuma orange
1 Cup of pretzels sticks
Small salad
1 1/2 Cups of Home Made Vegetable Soup
Small roll with butter
I'll work on doing better about tracking my water intake, but I would guess my water intake was around 5 cups today.

I will update this post tomorrow, if I end up eating anything else before I go to bed.

If anyone has some advice on my diet, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, has anyone lost 100+ pounds before? Did you have to have surgery to remove the extra skin or was there exercises that you did that helped firm up your stomach/belly?
