Week 34

See, it was the cold that was causing my problems. My cold is almost gone and I lost 5 pounds this week. Now hopefully the cold will be completely gone shortly and I won't have to deal with that anymore.

Week 33

Well, I did even worse this week. My counsellor had warned me that when you have a cold like this, your body holds onto absolutely everything you put in your mouth. So, I gained 4 lbs this week. This is the first time since I started that I actually gained anything and it really is hard to take but I know that once I get rid of this cold, I will start losing again.

Week 32

Well, I didn't do as good as I thought I would this week. I've been sick with a cold for the past week and have had a very small appetite so I figured I would have lost quite a bit but I only lost 1.2 lbs for a total of 63.8 lbs. My counsellor said that if I wouldn't have been sick, I would have lost more but apparently a person's body doesn't lose weight normally when sick. I did get her to measure me though and I've lost another 3.5 inches for a total of 29 inches. Hopefully now the cold will go away but the small appetite will stay around for a while.

Week 31 Update

I went in yesterday and weighed in and have lost 1 more lb. It's not much but I guess every pound lost is one not gained. So, it's now a total of 62.5 lb.

Week 31

The first picture was taken last May when we were at the Seattle Mariners game so that was about 6 weeks prior to starting this journey. No, the Mustang isn't mine, I rented it from my work for my birthday so that picture was taken the day before I started.

These other two pictures were taken on February 2, 2008 which is approximately 31 weeks after I started and 61.5 lbs lighter. I hope to update again later this week with the weightloss update.
