Week 11 progress report

So close! I lost 2.8 pounds this week bringing my total weight loss to 39.8 pounds. Only 7 pounds left to reach my goal weight of 190.

I passed some pretty major milestones this week. I eclipsed the 100 days straight of doing cardio 7 days a week twice per day. Bringing my total workouts in the last 15 weeks to 269! Thats right I have worked out 269 (two hundred and sixty nine) times in the last 104 days. That total includes my core workout, fight training (MMA) and cardio twice per day. Along with 269 workouts that brings my total calories burned to over 80,000 calories in just the last 77 days (I only started recording calories 77 days ago)

According to my new stats feature "Days to Goal" I am now 13 days from reaching my target weight. That makes the "Date of Goal" February 04, 2007, thats a change of 4 days from last weeks "Date Of Goal" of February 1st. This happened because my daily average loss has change from .57 pounds lost per day to .51

Week 10 progress report

The countdown has begun. My goal is clearly within view. I'm only 9.8 pounds from my target weight of 190. This week I lost another 3.4 pounds brining my total weight loss to 37 pounds. I finally broke the 200 pound mark! I have not been under 200 pounds in 5 years.

I have added some exciting new features to the stats this week. I added the stat "Date of Goal" and "Days to Goal". These two new stats actually project the exact date I will reach my goal based on my loss averages from the goal box at the top. As of now the "Goal box" is projecting me to reach my goal of 190 pounds on Wednesday, January 31 2007! It also shows the number of days until I reach my goal. I love this new stat since it puts an actual date and time that I'm going to reach my goal. It seems much more real when you "know" the date.

Week 9 progress report

Week 9: same routine another week. 4 pounds lost this week bringing 9 week weight loss total to 33.6 pounds. Stats are predicting I will reach my goal weight within 3-4 weeks. With only 13 pounds left I'm seeing major differences in how I look each day.

I rang in New Year's on the treadmill; Much like I rang in Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. I have sacrificed a lot for this goal and now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Third photo shoot before and after pictures.

2007 is here and I'm the leanest I have been in a few years. Before and after photos when compared to my first photo set is astonishing. Things are really coming together. Folds in my back are gone. Stomach is flattening out and starting to show the definition of the abs that are slowly coming to the surface. Shoulder and trap definition is appearing. I'm starting to get very vascular again, my veins are becoming very noticeable on my face and arms.
