2nd Try Progress Report

[2nd try]

If this isn't the right place for progress reports then please let me know so I can move it.

Well now, after significant difficultly and false starts I finally managed to get with the program on Aug 12th. I was surprised by how hard it was to get going this time considering I have done this before....but after a couple days I found my groove and then it was like an old glove.

I had a fairly clean induction with only one error....I went to a combination birthday/funeral/celebration of life for a friend of mine who recently departed. His family is from the South so they had a big southern BBQ. There was basically nothing there I could eat so I cheated with a couple of ribs (literally two pieces not racks) and a piece of cornbread (The BEST IN THE WORLD) and a glass of milk. Figured it was better than the beer. All things considered I am OK with this cheat as not eating anything would be insulting at this very family event, and to be honest I NEVER get real Southern BBQ...it simply isn't available around here. So although the timing is bad it is a once in a lifetime event.

Even still I managed to loose 11 pounds on my two week induction. Not bad, though I expected more actually. I was figuring on 15+ pounds for water weight. We'll see how I do on Weds when I weigh again.

I'll report back.

Well then, I weighed in this morning at 410.5....so I guess will call that 411. 19 pounds down at this point.

I gotta find a camera to take some before pics with before I loose all the weight.

Well I realized I forgot to post last week. I am down to 407.5 So I'll call it 408. Not bad. Definately slowed down here in the forth week. I have gone over my eating and I don't believe I was stepping off the path at any point so I will hope for water weight and see what the scale holds for me at the next weigh in.....which is tomorrow.

Another Weds, another weigh in. A bit better this week at a little under 404. Thats four pounds this week.

Fantastic. I bet 399 will feel great!

I like the way you round up- I round down hha probably shouldn't.

Keep it up buddy.

Another Weds another weigh in. Lost another four pounds this week and that puts me firmly at a flat 400.
Wow, that is such a friggin huge number. For some reason it never really hit me before until now. I still have 200lbs to lose.
Best to keep focused I suppose. And find a belt.
Maybe some pics too.

You're doing wonderful. You've lost 30 pounds, that's fantastic!
