The BIG Weigh-In Month 3 Week 1

Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."

     O.K. friend, the above verse will be my weigh in verse this month. I will be reporting to you and would love to hear from you. I know that some of you have been losing quite a bit of weight. That's awesome! I also know of at least one who was or is training for a walk/run. I would love to hear updates on how things are going for you all. 

     I stepped on the scale very nervous about the weigh in because I had a couple in my church take me and my family out to Pizza Hut yesterday and then for supper I ate at McDonald's. I'll get to that in just a minute. The first Monday of October I weighed in at 379.2 pounds and as I stepped up to the scale this morning to weigh I weighed in at 368.8 pounds, which is a zero weight gain or loss from last week, but a 10.4 pound weight loss for the month of October. While I was hoping to lose more than that this past month I will not be over depressed over the weight loss.

     My goal for November 29, the Monday after Thanksgiving is 323 LBS which means I will need to lose about 11.5 pounds a week until that date. Something tells me I won't reach that goal, but I will try as hard as I can to get as close to that goal as possible. My next goal is set for Monday December 27th, that goal is 311 lbs. To reach that goal I will need to lose about 7.2 pounds a week. That's a little more possible. My last goal I have set for this year is to weigh 299 lbs by Monday January 3rd. In order for me to reach this goal I will need to lose an average of 7.75 pounds a week. We will see how close I can get over the next several weeks. As always I will keep you posted and look forward to hearing from you.
