Over the last 4 week I had lost just over 13 pounds.  This pace was not sustainable, and has not been through my entire weight loss.  I knew this was going to be a hard week anyways with lots of drinking on Friday and Saturday so I was not expecting much this week, in fact [...]

Hello? Is this thing on?

by John T August 2, 2010

I’m torn… There’s not much going on here anymore… Part of me wants to just let it go quietly… Part of me wants to share the following… The last time I posted a weigh-in was April 28, 2009. The weight was starting to creep back at that time. Before school started in September 2008, I [...]

Ok, so I’m not back to where I was a year ago. I lost 30 and gained back 14. I’ve chipped away at 4 pounds of that, so now just 10 more to go! I want to reinforce the “winning moves” by committing to them to everyone: today someone brought donuts, and I didn’t eat [...]

Update 8/18/2008

by Rick August 18, 2008

Hi fellow fatbloggers and everyone who visits this blog. I hope you all had a nice weekend.   Mine was pretty busy. I thought I would have a peaceful weekend, or at least that I deserved one, but things often don’t work out as you expect.  It’s true about life and it’s doubly true about diets. [...]
