Down to 264lbs. 77 lbs down in 20 weeks. Haven't really lost a pound the last week, but had to cut my belt down a bit. Apparently the gym time is working out. Noticing a lot of changes, getting a lot more energy. I am enjoying my time on the elliptical ( Read more... )

Over the halfway point finally. No looking back now. I am aiming to lose 136 lbs by October, and I was at the halfway point last week. Only 65 more to go. I joined a gym, which should help move things along since diet alone is not going to get me there. Planet Fitness. 24 hours, seems like a nice place. Been there once now, seems like a decent ( Read more... )

So this week, there was a planned event. The wife and I, when we started our dieting, decided to go to Hooters for all you can eat wings at a certain weight loss point. So Wednesday we went, I wound up pounding 40 wings, and two orders of fries. And still lost weight this week. 16 weigh ins, down 64 pounds. I am not worrying as much about my diet, ( Read more... )

14 weigh-ins down, 38 to go. 60 pounds down. 76 to go. What else needs to be said?

Doing some testing we found out that the scale was off half a pound for every 10 pounds, roughly. Testing was done with bags of sugar, and different people using the scale, and ( Read more... )

Someone asked me my secret to losing weight at a local Christmas Eve gathering. I told them "Two things. First, I cut out soda completely. Second, I switched from a shovel to a spoon." People are talking about the changes at work. A new nickname has started getting used, "slim". I am not that amused since I am anything but slim. Still running over ( Read more... )

Down another 4 lbs. For those keeping track, that is 47 in 11 weeks. I can live with that. A few more pounds and the wife gets her trip to Hooters for hot wings. Bonus, I am pulling out old t-shirts people have given me that I have never worn due to them being too small. They fit now. Whee!

So yeah, the flu sucks. Have had it since Monday which is killing me. Starting to feel a little better, went out for Chinese food for dinner, and since I was going out anyways, I went and did my usual weigh in a day early. The flu did have one good effect. I am down 6 more pounds, making it 43 pounds in 10 weeks. Not bad considering I gained 3 ( Read more... )
