Weighing In: Let's Start Over...

Okay, not going to lie. I think I've mentioned before that I use food as comfort, and that didn't somehow miraculously change recently. So, as to be expected, I gained back a good bit of that weight. Yeah, I'm disappointed, too, but it's a New Year and it's nice and cliche to have a weight loss resolution. So, we start over. The last "good" weight I hit was about 185, so we make that the goal. No timetable pressure this time, either.

So we'll add a stat here, which is my weight today, for the starting over purpose. We'll keep the overall weight loss from August, though, since it'll make me feel good looking at that. Heh.


Starting weight (8/12/08): 221.4 lbs

Weight today/Startover Weight (1/5/09): 199.4 lbs

Last Time(11/17/08): 184.6 lbs

Difference from last weigh in: +14.8 lbs

Overall difference: -22 lbs

  1. I think I'm topping the scales at 210 right now. So I know where you're at. Sadly, I don't have the drive to lose it right now.

    Also, I think you're taller than me.

  2. Yeah, I do believe I might have an inch on you.

    It's all about pushing water dude. That and not horking down everything you see. There's some really delicious stuff out there if you just act judicious. For example, I really dig a Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bol. Get all the salsas to help fill it up, get them to go REAL easy on the sour cream (like a tablespoon to help balance the salsa) and no cheese, and while it's not a GREAT meal in terms of health and dieting, it's still having a tasty meal and "watching" what you eat. But definitely start with pushing water. Half your body weight in ounces is what I do. Last time I started out I musta lost 8lbs in the first week and I bet you 3/4 of that was water weight.

Feel free to comment. So that I may respond and possibly mock and ridicule you. Just kidding. Maybe. We'll see what you say first, how about that.
