Getting Back in the weight loss Saddle Again!

Having been inspired by my Cousin Brian - I'm gonna get back on the weight loss Saddle again. Here's my 'announcement post' heh.

--- -- --- -- --- -- ---




Ok Ok Ok, I give!

sheesh! I'm going to utilize the power of Face Book, once again, to help me with losing weight.

I see now the Value of Meeting regularly like they do in 'Weight Watchers' and 'Curves' and such things.

For me, 'reporting my weight' to Face Book - seems to be a great motivator... when I'm tellin the world (and Five Hundred Plus of my closest friends via Face Book,) how I'm doing on my goals, it seems to be enough to keep me out of 'great harvest'... (Best Bread in the Freaking Wolrd... well... Except that one place in Santa Fe Argentina....:-P )

So!

here is the 'Launch post'.

the Goal =

Lose 31 Pounds by the 5th of July

That will be 2 pounds a week for 16 weeks, and at the end - I will have crossed the 200 pound thresh hold! yay!

My Birthday is in August, and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to turn 40 and be under 200 pounds - I don't think I have been under 200 since I was 20 ish! but I really think it's an attainable goal.

I'll track my Calories like I did before via - lose it, or some iPhone App. and I 'might' post the exercise I do as I do them a few times a week... not sure on that.

however, I'm going to try to keep the 'weight' updates to a 'weekly' post to Twitter and Face Book - which should cut down from the last time we did this when I was posting most every day...

So my last 'goal attempt' was quite a success, going from 330 pounds to 220 pounds in seven and a half months (1/1/10 to 8/25/10)

I ended up getting as low as 209.6 as of the Monday before Thanks Giving, I then proceeded to take a bit of a 'break for the holidays' and haven't gotten back 'real' serious about losing till now. I 'Have' stayed fairly regular at the Gym though - so that has helped.

My Current Weight is 230.6 Goal Weight is 199.something/anything.

Wish me luck!

:-)

I just read your post, Wade, and I'll certainly be Cheering you on! The goodies at "Mom's house" have seriously cut down these days, so you likely won't have too much trouble around here! Good Luck! Love, Mom

Go Wade!!! You can do it!!

I'm not sure if previous success is helpful or detrimental.. I find myself rationalizing that I did it before, and I can pick up whenever I want and do it again.. I just have to PICK the day to DO it.

Sounds like today is your day!

And in my case is as soon as the doctor clears me after this child arrives!! Hopefully my desire AFTER the baby comes is as strong as my desire right now!!
