Day 13 Extreme Accountability Challenge I made it through the weekend. My son Adam celebrated his 23rd birthday Saturday and we had our family celebration for him yesterday. That means his favorite cake, and one of mine, carrot cake. I usually grill steaks with all of the fixings. Lots and lots of food. We skipped the steaks with all the…
This is Day 12 of the Extreme Accountability Challenge. This post is pretty lengthy so please forgive me in advance. When I started posting my weight loss daily to Facebook on March 15, 2017, it wasn’t something that I came up with that morning and just snapped a photo of my scales with my phone and posted. Heck no! John…
Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 11 Yesterday was really a challenge for me. It was like the old me was fighting with everything I had to stay the same, overweight. I’ve been overweight for a long time and as I have stated before my weight climbed slowly and steadily about half of a pound a month for most of my adult…
Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 10 I have been pretty much stuck at the same weight the last few days, but since this is about the 1000th weight loss journey I’ve gone on I’ve become a bit of an expert. There are ups downs and plateaus, what matters is sticking to the plan and staying the course. I’m no different than…
This is a marathon not a sprint. I’m making daily changes to my eating and exercise. As I move through victories and plateaus, I go back to my original post from Day 1. Here’s my original post from Day one 3/15/17 The picture of the scales is from today. There’s some people, especially my wife Angie, that are surprised that…
Day number 8 of my Extreme Accountability Challenge this morning marks one week ago I started posting my scales reading every morning until I hit 175 pounds. My reading on March 15, 2017, 296.2 pounds, my reading this morning 287.8 pounds. Down 8.4 pounds my first week, I’ll take it! There is a lean healthy man in this body and…
Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 7. Tomorrow will be one week. This is my 7th morning post of my scales. It’s exciting and scary each morning. I know that I’ve done everything possible to show a weight loss but I still must step on the scales for all of you to see. Yesterday was a day that I would have…
Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 6 As I am almost at the end of my first week of the Extreme Accountability Challenge, this is proof positive that knowing that I have to post this picture of my scales each morning is a powerful deterrent to my food cravings. I’m not sure when I became such a foodie, but walking by the…
Day number 5 Extreme Accountability Challenge This just keeps getting better! This morning Angie Thomas and I slept in for a change so sorry that I am late posting my Daily View From my Scales. Pretty fun, I broke into the 280’s this morning with a weigh in of 289.6#. But the real story for me this morning is my wife Angie…
Day 4 This week has not been anything like I thought it would be a week ago. After decades of yo yo dieting and ballooning to 304 pounds a few weeks ago( I had not mentioned that publicly yet!), I decided to do something radically different… change. It’s been pretty extreme. I kick around ideals all the time that I…
