GB Fat Report, Week One

Man, do I really wanta do this?
Not really....
But if I don't do it, I may weaken.
If I include you in this process, I'm more motivated to succeed,

so here goes:

I got on the scale this morning. I'm goin' to do it every Saturday morning until Mid-April, and I'll let you in on the results.
This morning, the scale said 205.
Actually, that's better than I expected.
So if I stick to my goal of averaging a pound a week loss, I'll weigh 188 pounds when I see you in May.

These weight reports can serve another purpose too-
If you have something you want to discuss in comments, bring it up here so we can all chime in!

Next Saturday, 204 or starve!

GB
I just realized you are not overweight....you are just too short.
I swear I have seen that guy in the picture before?????
Nope...he wasn't a date.

But how 'bout that "grey" beard on that guy, huh?
VERY attractive!

Yeah, GH, I'm trying to find a supplement that promises to add inches to my height.
So far, the only thing I can find are substances that claim they'll add inches elsewhere.

I think I'll just rely on diet and exercise, thank you!

Just a thought, but please keep the beard--it's so Manly-Manly.

Your makeover assistant,

Good Luck on the weight loss. Its so easy to put on and so hard to take off. I at one time was at 262# then I went the other way and was at 98# Then I got on a steady track for a long time and held my weight around 130#, but have started going back up in the last few years. I think my problem is just lack of exercise and too much time setting in front a computer doing designs.

Good Luck and remember the first few pounds comes off good and then you get hung up on a weight and can't drop any for a couple of weeks. Don't loose hope you will get there. I have faith in you.

I feel your pain, GB. My weight has become a source of constant self loathing.

Exercise is the only thing that ever worked for me. Several years ago, I started exercising every day and got down to a size 8-10. I looked good and felt good.

Then I made a critical error,,, I got a life and started doing fun things instead of exercising.

Now, there are few things that I can use to threaten myself with, ya know? I need to think of something and that is for sure.

So far my plan is to exercise daily,,, and so far I've done that one day in a row

That's one scary looking tubby! Is that a GUN hanging on the wall? Tubby needs to do more than lose a couple of hundred pounds...WOW!

One hint for you GB, I've found that eating instant oatmeal every morning has really helped me shed a few pounds. I also eat a fruit yogurt as a morning snack. I think that there's something to this oatmeal thing. I'm also convinced that Pilates is the exercise of choice! It works wonders on that "core". I'll be glad to send you a Pilates CD, if you interested in giving it a try.

So Good Luck to 'Ya I hope to see you at the DDFF a little lighter!
