I stepped on the scale, and I am finally back on the downswing. 266. 24 lbs from my starting weight of 290 in July! My goal is 250 by Memorial Day Weekend, and if I get to the gym, I could be at 240 by then.

It was nice to have someone come up to me at Sundance and say, You've lost weight and you need to get tighter jeans! My jean jacket is fitting much better. It is not so hard to button it up anymore. My belly is not getting in the way!

What I was most pleased with is that I did not gain a single pound from Thanksgiving to New Years. The average gain is 8lbs. I stayed at 270.


On another note, I don't have to commute to San Mateo on Tuesday's any longer. I would only have to go if I need to cover a vacation, or something weird comes up in that office. This makes me really pleased.


I think that is it for now.

Hi Dave,
Congrats on the weight loss! I think you are looking fabulous, as always. I know how you feel about the holidays. I actually lost a pound over the holidays, I was amazed. Keep up the good work and definitely get ready to go jean shopping!
hugs,
Vinny

Are you doing Nutrisystem? I think you mentioned that you ordered that at one point.

I stopped that after the 2nd month. Actually, I still have some of the food left. It is really hard to stay on their food with eating out a lot with a bf. But it did help me figure out good portion sizes. I usually don't eat everything at a resturant.

Hey, if your goal is to lose weight, than great for you! I'm sure that cutting down on the commute to San Mateo is great in that it just reduces wasted time.

Bravo on the 24 lb! I want to do that....I HAVE to do that!

It is hard, but worth it from my health standpoint!!

Hey, email me at bearguy @ bearguy . com

I have a question for you.

Thanks handsome. 70 is a lot of weight. I lost 85 in 1999. Put it all back on plus some over the years.

And wooof too you. Hope to meet you in person one day.

YAY!!!!!

That's awesome, Dave. Congrats!

I got on the scale on Saturday morning and was pleased to find that I had neither gained nor lost weight over the Christmas holiday. I've gained back 12 of the 27 I lost in 2006 but I'm still down 15 from where I was a year ago.

Best of luck to you in your continued weight loss! :)

Thank you!! :-)

I think you look like you lost weight from when I saw you in the summer until we just saw you last week!

Yay, keep up the good work :)

[dhbearguy.livejournal.com]

Yes, I was at 290 in July.

Good for you Dave! I thought that you looked smaller when we crossed paths at Starbear's last week! And congrats on not having to commute, I would hate having to do that!
