Day 54 and still 25 pounds gone.
2-23-07
265/240/200 Day 54 and 25 pounds are gone Got on my scale this morning and still was at 240. The indicator balanced at about 240 and a half, and so I still have lost no more than 25 pounds. The faster weight of days gone by has ended and I am stuck with the slow plod towards success. I added a new line to my watchband. This morning I have the following: 54 25 1000T NB wth the last two being in red on the same little adhesive strip (actually a file folder sticker). The 1000T tells me that my total calorie intake for the day will be 1000 calories, with no additional subtraction for exercise. And of course 54 is the day I am on this diet and exercise program and 25 is the number of pounds lost so far. I change the top number daily and the second number as the pounds are lost. The total calorie goal for the day (1000 today) impresses me with its power to pull my behavior. With that number on my watchband, I don't have any misapprehensions about what my goal is, about whether I should fudge a few extra calories here and there. (There was a terrible news story here in Oregon this morning about a driver south of Salem who drove in the wrong direction on I-5 South and was killed by a truck. This is the same area in which a drunk driver killed two symphony members several weeks ago and there is suspicion that bad signage may have been responsible for both of these awful events. I believe in clear, easy-to-see signage and think that it will prevent accidents and also help us with other things - like not straying from our health programs.) I hope that we all find ways to continue to adhere to our health programs! Yours truly, Caleb |

Day 54 and still 25 pounds gone.
I've been watching your posts for awhile now. It was the inspiration for me
to begin writing my progress on this newsgroup. I wish you all the luck in the world with the goals that you have set for yourself.

Day 54 and still 25 pounds gone.
Great to hear about Caleb giving you inspiration. He is inspiration
for me, too. Keep what you're doing! I suggest that in every post you write the weight you started at, the weight you are at now, and your weight goal. It gives us right away an idea of your progress. Losing weight had an immediate effect of importance: I can perform better at hockey because of my lighter weight, I can run faster. 17 pounds help a lot. Mike 197/178/170 I am at Day 63 of my diet. |

Mike -- you're doing great! About 10% of your weight gone! I'll bet you're better at hockey! GREAT STUFF!!! I also greatly like the range of numbers (starting weight/actual weight/goalweight) and they help show the progress made. (Heck, I like numbers so much I have numbers on my watchband!)

Part of the reason why I am writing is to show that if we keep at it, we WILL lose the weight. It's not rocket science. Keep it up! And again, thanks for your far too kind words! Yours truly, Caleb |
