I broke the pound barrier

Sweet Saturday morning...I weighed this morning and I was at 299.8 pounds. Hallelujah! I broke the 300 pound barrier! Drop the confetti! Bring on the marching bands! Cue the orchestra!

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I just want to say how pleased I am to have reached this tiny goal. If my calculations are correct, I'm losing less than a pound a week. What's with that? On the one hand, I'm losing verrrrryyyyy slowly, which is the way "they" say is the best way to lose weight. On the other hand, this is excruciatingly slow.

So with that said...only 74* more pounds to go until July 9th. Do you think I'll make it?


*I originally weighed in at 319 lbs at the start of this whole blog back in July of last year. I later found out I was actually at 325lbs, give or take a pound due to a faulty scale. A doctor visit confirmed it. The highest weight I was at was 345lbs three years ago.

Way to go, Randy!

You're inspiring. I swear I have put on 20 pounds in one stinkin' month. I wish it were as easy to take it off as to put it on.

You're going to make that goal... I just know it.

Yay! Congratulations. That is fabulous. I have some more weight to lose too. I am diligently working at getting rid of another 60 by the end of the year. I am already down 60. I have to work extra hard by eating better, exercising longer. It's worth it though, for a better quality of life.

Congratulations on your success. Looking forward to seeing you and your wife again.
