The Weigh-In Week 30
220.4! That’s what it said on the scale this morning. A loss of 3.2 pounds.
I’d call that a great start to the New Year. I still have 4 pounds to go to get down to my pre-holiday low and 6 pounds to reach overweight status, but that will come quickly enough.
This has been an amazing year for me, and again all I can ask myself is why did it take so long to do this. Sure it has been some work, but not nearly as much as I expected. In fact once I got into the groove of things I would say the whole thing has come pretty easy. I guess you just have to be at the right place in your life to make the change.
So lets look back at who I was a year ago.


One year ago I weighed 288 pounds.
I regularly consumed over 3500 calories a day.
I couldn’t run more than 1 minute at a time.
I wore a XXL shirt.
I wore size 46 pants.
Today I weigh 220 pounds.
I eat less than 2000 calories a day on average.
I work out 5 days a week for 45 minutes.
I can run more than 34 minutes at a time.
I can run a 5k on a treadmill.
I wear a L shirt.
I wear size 36 pants.
I feel great.
I am really proud of what I have accomplished, and I am really excited to see what new accomplishments I will be able to achieve this year.
As always I thank all of you for the help and support and encouragement.
Have a great weekend everybody.
Tony
1/4: 220.4lbs

That’s one little girl who loves her Daddy!
It sounds like you feel as good as you look, and I think that’s the #1 benefit from getting to a manageable weight level. Once again, congratulations on getting this done.
