About a dozen shy now

So, As readers of this blog know, it started out as my journal of my weight loss trip. That stated out as a bet between my fraternity brothers and I on who could lose the most weight (percentage) by our biannual convention last year. I lost. but not by much, but it helped me start to work on getting fit. I joined a gym, I stopped eating McDonalds and pretty much gave up pop and beer. That got me to lose all of 10 lbs. I was pissed. But, i'm happy to report that I have, since 1/15/08 lost 46 lbs. That rocks.

What have I been doing? Well, i'm been eating less and also trying to work out at least 3x/week. I don't always succeed, but i don't let that little setback get in the way of my goal. I've got a long way to get to where I want to be (not shopping in big/tall stores), but I think that I can get there, and without the surgeon's scalpel. As always, I thank my friends and my family for their support, and for Olivia's biting comments that make me go to the gym (Daddy, you're the biggest Brown Bear I've ever seen...)
