lose 100 pounds

On day 163(yesterday), I jumped on the scales and 100 pounds was gone! I waited til today, weighted again, and it’s still gone!

Now comes the scary part. Do I keep going until I turn into a wrinkled weight-chart posterboy or do I celebrate? I wonder, if you put enough lighter-fluid on carrots and lettuce, will they burn? :^)

Seriously, this one goes in the done column and a big thanks for all the inspiring posts over the months. I’ll still be dieting for a while to support my Wife who also is going for 100 (She’s halfway there!)

Is losing 100 pounds in 164 days too much? Probably, but I don’t want a do-over. Goodluck to you all! Hang in there, it’ll come.

Well, kinda..
You see, my Wife and I both started the 1000 calorie diet New Years Day. As of today, I’ve lost 79 lbs and She has lost 36.

Same foods, same amounts, and She exercises more than I do! Life’s not fair. So, Ladies, when the big guys like me put up the big numbers, don’t let it discourage you. It may take a little longer, but you’ll get there.

A lot of you folks aren’t enjoying the family support I am and my hat is off to you for your super results in spite of it!

Keep it up!

7 weeks since my last post and 87 days in a row living on </= 1000 calories a day.

Not really as drastic as it sounds. Cereal for breakfast, fruit for lunch and one of those frozen boxed entrees with a huge tossed salad for dinner. And of course, those “tasty” baby carrots for snacks. And sure I’m taking vitamins and supplements.

Those frozen dinners have come a long way and there are enough decent ones to avoid a lot of the boredom.

With the dieting and some (need more) exercise I’ve dropped 62 pounds and my goal is in sight.

Things I miss: beer, mexican food, burgers, (did I say beer?)
Things I now enjoy: crossing my legs, sitting in booths, riding a bike around the neighborhood, driving my wife’s car without feeling like a ball-turret gunner.

I enjoy all the posts and I’ll get back to you later.

January can be a L O N G month when you’ve just made major changes in your daily habits.

It’s finally over! No junkfood, beer, etc has touched these lips in 2007. I won’t bore you with the results, but they’ve been great and my goal is to level off at 2 pounds a week til I git-er-done.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but it seemed postings were slowing a little.

Double your resolve today! I have!
