Weigh in and a Beautiful lady..

Right on schedule Friday has come again and its time to tally up the weight lost for the week, Again I will get right to the weight. Upon waking I walked down stairs and stepped onto the cold black scale and the first number that popped onto the display said 362.8 lbs I was pleased with that figure so off I stepped, reset, and back on to read 363 even, and the final step onto the scale said 362.8 once again and since I round up it will be counted as 363 pounds which comes to a 3 pound loss for the week. That means I have lost 171 total pounds since starting in Jan 2008 or 32.02% of my total body weight. Here are some photos to show you just how much I have lost as well as something that weighs the same as I do.

This 2005 SV650 weighs in at 363 pounds, I would love to own one of these.


This is my beautiful wife, she happens to weigh in at 171 pounds in this photo taken last night, which is what I have lost so far, it is crazy to think that I was carrying a whole beautiful woman on my back for all of that time!

Finally! a child's toy motorcycle is what I have left to lose, this toy bike weighs 88 pounds.


Since Wify came up in this mornings post I want to say that she has been my hugest fan as well as my most enthusiastic supporter in this weight loss game that I have been playing for the past almost 11 months. She has kept me on the straight and narrow and has reminded me to get my exercise in some of the times where I was less than enthusiastic about doing so, She has lost a great deal of weight in the same amount of time and as you can see by the photo looks great for her efforts, I am proud of her. She and I were talking about how much weight I had lost and she hopped on my back so that I could feel what I use to weigh again, man! that was an eye opener for me to feel that weight back on me and realize that I was carrying that around on a daily. While she was on my back I walked towards the staircase and she did not protest so I walked up the stairs with her piggy backed on me and when I hit the top I was breathing heavy, I said to her "wow that took a lot out of me, I don't think I got that out of breath back then" She just looked at me with that "who the hell are you kidding fat man" look and then I realized, Yes I did get that winded when I was that heavy, saying night and day does not give enough contrast to the situation.

As I stated in last weeks weigh in post as well as yesterdays I am tossing up another challenge for myself, for every comment that I get on this blog before Midnight tonight 11-21-08 stating that the poster drank a glass of water (we shall go on the honor system of course) I will ride 3 minutes on my stationary bike on Saturday. So anyone that reads this and is willing to drink a glass of water has the power to make me make my legs burn on Saturday, so what say you? how long will I be riding tomorrow?

If you read this far into the post you deserve a tall glass of H2O so get on up and get yourself some, even if you choose not to leave a comment to make a fat man move, you deserve that glass anyways so what are you waiting for?

  5. I'm just downning the last of my first 32oz so count me in for 3 mins (and 10 sit-ups).

    I just loved the thought that you've lost as much as your wife weighs, that just seems so ironic doesn't it? I loved that you carried her up the stairs on your back too and could really feel what you've lost, amazing.

    Way to go on the 3 lbs down this week too. You are doing wonderful.

I've got the feed for your posts on my google homepage and can't wait to see what you're up to each week -- well, I guess I should say what you're DOWN to!
