Well, last night I decided to break out the scale. I've kind of been worried since I was not dieting from 12/16-1/04, but I picked back up, and I wanted to know how I was doing. I found that I had hit a bit of a milestone. I just surpassed 75 pounds lost. I couldn't believe it. 75 pounds is as much as an 10 year old kid. Maybe even more.
That means that I have another 83 before I'm at my "I can be comfortable" goal. Anything after that is gravy, and I may not stop there. My real target goal would be an additional 50 after that, but I just don't know how realistic that really is.
Either way, I've come a long way, and I'm proud of myself.

Biggest loser - Final Weigh in
Over the last 2 weeks, because of my trip to Costa Rica (and the trip to leatherbys upon my return), I gained 8 pounds! Last Monday I was notified that they were going to end the competition early because the majority of the participants had fallen off the wagon. I also found out that there was a sleeper among us. One of the guys who had initially weighed in with us was doing extremely well. He hadn't been weighing in weekly like everyone else, but that wasn't required. I had heard some rumors that he was over 20 pounds. Since he weighed less than half what I started at, his weight loss percentage may have surpassed mine, especially with my recent gain.
David lost 22.1 pounds in the end, a whopping 10.4% of his body weight. When hearing that, I was crushed. "All of this work, and I didn't even win!" I thought.
With my weight loss total at 42 pounds at last weeks weigh in, I was only at 9.7% weight loss. I've worked really hard this week to get back on track. Finally it was time for me to weigh in.
I stepped on the scale...
I had lost 7 pounds this week. A total loss of 49.3 pounds. 11.3%! I won!
Yay!
I got a really nice 4th Generation 8GB iPod Nano. I'm loading it up with music to give to Trisha tonight!
She's going to be very excited!

Weigh in day (Week 8)
I just hit the 50 pound mark. It's basically hopeless for me to hit my lofty goal of 100 pounds by December 2nd, but, That doesn't mean I can't lose 25 more in the 7 remaining weeks. My weight loss has slowed down over the past 2 weeks. I'm going to need to start my walking regimen to kick start it. I'm just having a hard time motivating myself to do it!

Oh yeah...
And I measured myself with a measuring tape last night. I've lost 18 inches so far too! Woot!

Here "hopefully" goes something...
My work is starting 2 new contests. "The Biggest Loser" and "The Biggest Winner."
"Loser" starts today and consists of a weight loss competition. It will end on November 30th. I thought it would be interesting to get a face shot and a body shot of myself on several days throughout the competition so my progress can be visually documented. I won't be able to get a picture every day, I'm sure, but I'll document what day of the contest it is. Here are my disappointing starting pictures.
In the end, I'm hoping to get back to being closer like my old self. When I envision myself at my best, I look like this (or better!):
I really want and need to lose weight, so I'm going to work at it hard. Any and all forms of motivation are appreciated.
"The Biggest Winner" starts on September 1 and is a fitness competition to encourage those who work here to get out and excercise. I'm not sure exactly how the competition will be layed out, but it will help further encourage those who work here to get fit. I'm excited! If I do well, I have the potential to win an iPod and/or a $500 Visa Gift Card.
