It’s official. As of tonight, I have now dropped 170 pounds. In just about 19 months, I have lost the equivalent of a grown man. After Sebastien weighed me in at the gym tonight, he started to giggle a bit. He giggles every now and again, and I just pass it off as him enjoying what we’re doing. But tonight the giggle meant a little bit more than I thought.
You see, last week, I recorded my first ‘gain’ since Seb and I actually started tracking my progress in weights and measures. I had two pretty nutty weeks at work prior to our session last week, and was just happy to still be standing at the end of it all. I worked 17 days straight with no days off, and managed to squeeze in some training here and there. My diet was crap — I didn’t load up on fast food, but I didn’t necessarily try to eat well either. Let’s just say that my daily dose of raw broccoli wasn’t happening. So last week when I weighed in, I had gained just over a pound. I had been regretting that moment for quite some time. I told Seb time and time again that if my weight remains the same, I’m cool with that. But I’d simply lose it if I gained.

Great job, Chris! Just wow!!!
That’s an amazing accomplishment. I can only hope to achieve something as earned and fought for as that some day.
Wow, what an awesome accomplishment. I weighed 400 when I started and have already lost 100 pounds. I would like to lose another 100 by July 2010. I LOVE your blog! I’ll definately be a regular visitor! Keep the faith man!
