Heavy Weight

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.

Week 8 progress report

Week 8 has arrived. This week I lost 2.4 pounds not the 3+ pounds I have been experiencing but still well above my initial expectations for this weight loss regiment. I am now within 17 pounds of my goal, bringing my total weight loss to 30 pounds. All my "lean" clothes are finally fitting again and I'm swimming in all my  XL "fat" clothes. The tight fitting "muscle" shirts I have been avoiding the last couple years are looking good and going on with ease.

I feel I may be near a weight loss plateau. If weight loss starts to level off over the next couple weeks I will re-schedule an appointment with the Metabolic Institute and I will have my BMR/RMR tested again to re-establish my calorie/exercise base.

Tomorrow is another photo shoot day. I'm excited to post this months pictures, the difference is going to be dramatic from last months pictures.
