Weigh-In: Week 39

by John T September 28, 2007

I had a chance to visit with one of the Trainer-ettes (we don’t have any male personal trainers at my gym) this week about my lifting routine and the plateau of sorts I have found myself in. She gave me a new routine that would ’shock’ my metabolism into action again with the added benefit [...]

Riding the weight loss rollercoaster

by Rick September 25, 2007

Well, it’s been an eventful few weeks on the weight loss journey for me.  I was thrilled when I got below 250 pounds last month.  That was a big mental barrier for me.  I guess I thought getting past that point would make it easier to continue on down the scale.  I’m afraid what I [...]

It is [...]

Weigh-in: Week 38 (and a NEW challenge)

by John T September 20, 2007

Since I missed weigh-in night on Tuesday due to The Boy’s football game (they won), I was mildly optimistic that I [...]
