LMAO Yeah. I've already got a built in "shake weight".

Broke my fast. I'm full as shit too.

Did you make that chicken yourself or did you buy it?

Bought it from Costco.

Floppy are you under 290 yet?

Yes sir. Not by a lot, but I am.

how much you losing per week? 2 pounds?

Lately. I usually average between 3-5. This week I lost 5.

That is insane, man. Seriously. You should be journaling all this shit... you could seriously have a self-help/inspirational/motivational book on your hands.

I am absolutely, positively considering it. I am well articulated, and capable of writing and public speaking. I wish I'd documented the first 100lbs in pictures, but I didn't. This year though I'm taking a picture every single month of the year, and they're all on my facebook page. The good news is, I have witnesses in my doctor and nutritionist I started out with on what I weighed and what I did in the beginning.

I'm pretty active in the online community with obese people and try to motivate them to believe in themselves. I take it very, very seriously.

There's a lot of documentation in the original weight loss thread from 2008. That was the very beginning of all of it. Insight into what I was thinking before, initially, and well after I started this whole thing.

Struggled with a weak moment tonight. Went into work late to get some prep done for the weekend, got a burger craving. This is not unusual for me, if I could live on burgers and pizza, I would. After work I drove home and then walked a few miles. Burger craving the whole time. Got home, thought about what to do, finally drove out to HyVee, picked up a couple pounds of 98% fat free turkey (buy one get one free...) and some whole wheat buns. About to eat my day's salad (7 days in a row!), and if I'm still wanting a burger after that, I can make one. So weak moment defeated. No trip to McDonald's, no trip to Wendy's. And thanks to the sale price I can store a pound in the freezer for similar situations in the future.

Otherwise, eating was fine today, eggs, a banana, grapes.

Well, caloric deficit of over 4000 today. Which cancels out yesterday almost to the calorie. Fasting is not a bad thing, not in my estimation. Had I been diligent yesterday as well, I would be looking at a 2lb net loss and I didn't even go to the gym yesterday. The trick will be how this translates next week when I'm working in a stressful job all day every day.

Christ, Flop. I'm worried you're going to end up a bag of saggy skin at the rate you're going.
