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…
Day 3 of my weight loss journey. Thanks to everyone who is commenting and encouraging me. The intimidation factor has not worn off, as I said yesterday posting this is on my mind with every bite of food. So for me it is effective. Some of you are probably wondering why someone would do something this outrageous. Results! That’s the…
Day number 2 of my public weight loss journey down 1.8 pounds from yesterday. 119.4 pounds to go. 175 here I come. A lot goes through your mind when you commit to posting your weight daily until I reach my goal. I can tell you this, knowing that all of my Facebook friends will see my weight each day really…
