Above all, enjoy!!  I am!                 [...]

Small Victories Can Be A Big Boost

How fitting is it that the official first day of my second month starts on a Sunday?  I couldn't have asked for better timing!  I started my journey on June 10, 2010.  I have been doing a lot of contemplating as well.  While I am still weighing in every morning, I am not going to [...]

I Just Took The Plunge

I've been thinking about it for months. I've watched the same infomercials dozens of times. I've watched the YouTube transformation videos many, many times. I've hungered to see these changes in my body. I've talked to co-workers who've done it.  "It's intense, I don't think you could do it", they say. Those words just added [...]

Weigh In Wednesday: Week 4 Results

I was just getting ready for work and it dawned on me that I hadn't posted on the most important day of the week, Weigh In Wednesday! This will be the first goal that I didn't hit "officially".  While I was at 372 lbs earlier in the week, I gained a few pounds back.  I [...]

Holiday Weekends Suck!

I've come to the conclusion that weekends suck, let alone holiday weekends! I decided to take last Friday off, which turned out to be a mistake.  Saturday was my family's big shindig, full of really unhealthy food that I ate way too much of.  Of course the gym was closed on Sunday, so there went [...]

Diets vs. Lifestyle Changes

I recently came across an interesting article.  You see, I don't agree with the argument on diets.  As you can see, most of the participants gained their weight back.  Why?  My guess would be  because they didn't view their journey as a lifestyle change, it was just another diet!  Case in point would be my [...]
