Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 42

by Charles March 31, 2009

Aaaaand… we’re back. So I wasn’t actually on any Spring Break (it’s been 17 years since I’ve ever taken one), but I just wasn’t feeling my oats last week. Sure, I had not done any running the week after my half-marathon and gained 1.4 pounds. This week, I got in a couple of runs and [...]

Maintenance is hard!

by Rick March 26, 2009

I don’t mean to burst anyone’s bubble, but once you get to your weight goal it still takes work. It ain’t time for weight loss vacation. MAINTENANCE IS HARD!!! I lost 130 pounds and I now vary between 120-125 pounds total loss. I have been everywhere between 176 and 188 for the last 15 months. [...]

Listening to my body????

by Rick March 24, 2009

Also posted at my blogOk, I admit, I am strongly against listening to my body to see if it is hungry. Maybe it is just me, but there is no freakin way I am listening to my body about this. Now I can listen to my body about exercise and recovery, but not eating. I [...]

He speaks… for me!

by John T March 18, 2009

Will (occasional FatBlogger) over at 4XLT made a post that I could have written if I were of a mind to… and I wanted to be honest.  Go over there and take a look… the hook… But here I am, looking objectively at the how’s and why’s of my life, and I come to the [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 40

by Charles March 17, 2009

Wow. What a week it has been. I’ve still got a separate post to write reporting the events of this past Sunday, so I don’t want to steal most of the thunder away from that. However, I do want to point out that I’m certain it was key to this week’s loss of 2.4 pounds. [...]

Nana korobi ya oki (fall down 7 times, get up 8)

by Rick March 11, 2009

Cross posted at antimattr.net nana korobi ya oki is a Japanese proverb that translates roughly as “fall down 7 times, get up 8”. Well, I fell yesterday, and fell hard. I’m feeling a ton of stress personally, professionally and financially, and yesterday I made some sad choices in a very misguided attempt to deal with [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 39

by Charles March 10, 2009

I love my Wii Fit, but I’ve got to stop weighing myself on it on Sundays. Other than Tuesday/Wednesday nights when I weigh myself on it, that’s the only other day. I got overconfident when the durn thing told me I’d lost 7.5 pounds since my last weighin on it. Granted, it was after my [...]

The Fear of Getting Thin – Another viewpoint

by Charles March 9, 2009

I don’t want to take away from Jason’s post whatsoever, but another angle on why someone would fear becoming thin came to mind and I had to share it. I also felt it deserved more than just another comment. My wife had been on Weight Watchers for a few years off and on and was [...]

In Search of…

by John T March 6, 2009

As many of you know I am pursuing a Masters degree in Social Work. I alluded to a need for research subjects at the start of Winter term in an earlier post. Now is the time for you to step up. The question I seek to answer is, “What makes weight loss successful?” If you [...]
