85 Lbs! I'm getting closer to the BIG milestone!

Wow! 85 lbs! As of this morning, I've now lost exactly 85 lbs. since July 9th, 2010. I feel like I've really reached something.

The really cool thought is that I'm only 15 pounds away from 100!

My Weight Watchers leader, Johnny, believes that I can reach it by Christmas. Publicly, I'm being "optimistic", but privately, I'm giddy with excitement over the prospect! Just think, 100 pounds lost in 5 months -- That's a 5th grader (and even some small HS freshmen).

COOL ---

Well, that's all I can write for now - It's 1:43 in the morning, and I have to be at a workshop in just a few hours...

Talk to you soon!

I'm on my way!! 75 lbs. and counting


Many have been asking me how I have been doing on this quest of mine. Well, the answer is quite simple! I have lost 75 lbs., as of October 30th. For those who don't know, I started attending Weight Watchers meetings and following their program in July. So, that means in just under 4 months, I have lost the equvalent of a small person. :)

For those who are overweight, you know the feeling that I speak of when I say that my mobility is much better. I can breathe easier at night, and I feel great.

As for the diet, I don't feel like I am denying myself anything either. I eat 5-6 meals a day, so that I can kick start my metabolism, and I try to incorporate more veggies into my diet, rather than carbs.

I haven't eliminated carbs, though. I just don't eat as much.

Anyway, now my goal for November is another 10lbs. That'll bring me to below 400 lbs. for the first time in several years! I'm so excited!

Well, that's all for now -- keep praying for me!

Thanks,
Scott
