Week Two Weigh In

This week was challenging, but I managed to dodge extra helpings, refused offered treats from co-workers and even turned down a piece of cake like a portly diet ninja. I'm proud of my numbers so I'm going to take this week as a win. Next weeks challenge? Cutting back on diet soda. I tried to cold turkey it on Monday, but that didn't work out so well. Easing off of it will probably work better in the long run, I find that's almost always been true with a life change like this: slow and steady always works better than fast and hardcore.

Without further ado the numbers:

Weight: 315.6 lbs
Body Fat: 53.9%
Total Weight Loss This Week: 6.1 lbs

Grand Total Weight Loss: 6.1 lbs

Week One Weigh In

7/19/2015 11:39PM CST

Weight: 321.7 lbs
Body Fat: 55.4%

Obviously we have a lot of work to do. Not much else to be said here, tomorrow starts the hard work.

New Beginning.....Again

50 lbs lighter by December 25th 2015. A simple statement, but the hardest thing in the world. Yes, here we go again. I'm going to make another attempt at not only losing weight, but changing my lifestyle forever; redefining my life and changing a core piece of myself. I've attempted it over and over and over again over the last 11 years of my life and have struggled with my weight as long as I can remember. Being the fat guy has become a part of me, an identifier for others just as much as how I identify myself. Anyone who has been overweight for any period of time knows how this goes: we will start again next Monday, just one more pizza, just one more weekend. These Next Mondays stretch into years of failed weight loss attempts. Sometimes you'll lose weight for months, sometimes you'll reach the lowest weight you've been in years, but it always ends in one seemingly inevitable truth: failure.
