Weight-loss updates

Here are the results of my weekly weigh-ins.
(Check below for details on the weight loss)

Starting weight: 221 pounds-total weight loss is in parenthesis
One week, January 14: 213.5 (7.5 pounds)
Two weeks, January 21: 209.5 (11.5 pounds)
Three weeks, January 28: 206 (15 pounds)
Four weeks, February 4: 203 (18 pounds) Even with a Super Bowl blowout!
Five weeks, February 11: 199.5 (21.5 pounds) I believe I am leading the pack. The half-way weigh-in is Wednesday. We'll see.
So you know, Didn't win the half-way. Lost the most weight not the highest percentage. On with the updates:

Six weeks, February 18: 196 (25 pounds)
Seven weeks, February 25: 193.5 (27.5 pounds) I wasn't confident of a good week and still dropped two and a half! As long as the weight is still dropping I'm ok with that.
Eight weeks, March 3: 193.5 (27.5 pounds)
Uh-oh, now the weight isn't dropping, at least not this past week. I'll have to work a bit this week. It'd be nice to hit the 30 pound mark!
Nine weeks, March 10: 191.5 (29.5 pounds) couldn't quite get to 30 total, but at least I lost this week!

New Year, New Goals

Ok, ok, ok I know I still don't update this as I should. It can just be a New Year's resolution. Though I really hate making "resolutions." Doesn't that just set you up for failure. It sure seems to.

That being said, I am trying to lose weight. In fact quite a few folks on staff here with the Grizz are trying to lose weight, so we turned it into a contest. For cash! We all entered with $50 and go about trying to drop the pounds over a 12-week period. The person with the best weight-loss at the half-way point gets their entry fee back. The person with the best weight-loss after 12 weeks gets the rest. Best-case you lose the weight and you win 500 bucks in the process. By the way we go by percentage.

Soooooo, I thought I'd keep folks informed about my progress. I'll just let you know how I am doing and leave the other guys' to themselves.

We only weigh in three times publically: at the start-January 7, at the half-way point-February 18th and at the end-March 28th. I try to track weekly. From now on you can check my progress in subsequent postings.

I'll keep you updated. Wish me luck.
