Finally down FIFTY pounds!


Recommended Posts

Hey Rebels!!!

 

 

I promised last challenge that after I dropped consistently below a certain weight, I'd run in here and post up about my weight loss... sadly, the scale lingered just above that number till this week :)

 

As of today, I'm down 50+ pounds from when I started tracking myself in February 2012.  When I started tracking I was around 282.6 and now I'm consistently down to 230.4.  I'm SO EXCITED!!!

 

To be FIFTY pounds lighter is SO LIBERATING!

 

***************Playfullness ahead***************

Though, dropping fifty pounds isn't all rainbows and sunshine... 

1. You have to go find new clothes to wear, down from waist 48's to waist 40(sometimes 38's)

2. You end up wearing new NF swank (previous woot room yay's of dropping from XXL to XL... XL's fit MUCH better now)

3. You have more energy to do crazy things! (like starting with kettlebells!)

4. You get full faster (smaller = less food, gasp, i actually have LEFTOVERS now)

5. You can't stop talking (about Nerd Fitness and how freaking awesome this community is)

6. You start having minions following you around (my daughter who's 5 is walking and exercising with me every week.)

=================================

 

On a dual Woot Room accomplishment...

My wife and I purchased and played Summoner Wars: Master Set last night.  That's a huge departure from those traditional board games for casual games.  It's loads of fun and I won our first game... This also came with it's rewards and banes... My wife has now relentlessly (and jokingly) declared that I cheated to beat her last night.  She says it's a really fun game 'even if I cheated'.

 

That just served as a very real reminder that I married a very wonderful woman, who also happens to be a VERY competitive gamer :)  I love my wife.

It's not 80% diet, 20% exercise, it's 100% diet, 100% exercise. Give it your all.
