Day 25, April 8, 2017

04/08/17 Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 25 Total weight loss to date 25.4 pounds When I first posted my scales and my commitment to reach 175 pounds in 252 days I didn’t realize all those that would join me in this journey. There’s no question about it, at times it’s really hard to resist the temptations of the old behavior of…

Day 24, April 7, 2017

04/07/17 Day 24 Extreme Accountability Challenge Down 24.2 pounds total While from my view of my scales and probably your view of them also, this looks like a petty slow process. Kind of like watching paint dry. Half a pound hhere, a pound there, up a quarter pounder down a third. And on and on. That’s probably why so many…

04/05/17 Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 22 Total weight loss 23 pounds This marks the beginning of my fourth week posting my weight loss journey on Facebook.

Day 21, April 4, 2017

04/04/17 Day 21 Extreme Accountability Challenge Down 21.8 pounds total Some how I miscounted the number of posts yesterday, so today is my 21st post of my scales to Facebook. It was pretty lonely the first time that I pressed post on 03/15/17. I’m sure someone had used their Facebook community to hold them accountable to a weight loss plan,…

Day 20, April 3, 2017

04/03/17 Day 21 Extreme Accountability Challenge This morning I was able to go to the scales with hope instead of dread. The number was lower but more importantly I knew that I stuck to my plan that John Davisson designed for me to the letter. I don’t say that to boast, it’s just after years and years of fighting this…

Day 19, April 2, 2017

04/02/17 Day 20 Extreme Accountability Challenge In some ways it seems like I’ve been posting my scales daily forever, even though it’s only been since 03/15/17. It’s interesting how powerful this has been for me to stick to my healthy eating. I’m down 15 pounds since I first posted but 21 pounds over all. Thank you to everyone who is…

Pretty cool, Angie and I went out last night with close friends to celebrate a birthday. There were appetizers, birthday cake, wine, beer…I had none, only coffee and unsweetened iced tea with lemon because all of you that see my scales daily were with me. Thank you. I really mean it. Thank you for holding me accountable, it gave me…

Day 17, March 31, 2017

Extreme Accountability Challenge Day 17 One of those days where I plateau. I wish it showed a 10 pound weight loss every day but I’m really okay with the number. I know that I stuck to the plan that John Davisson designed for me to the letter. I cannot control the scales but I must control me…and I did. The scales…

Day 16, March 30, 2017

Day 16 . 03/30/17 Extreme Accountability Challenge. Down a little more today. When I started posting my weight loss journey on March 15, 2017, I really didn’t realize how powerful this accountability would be. I was 298 pounds down from 304 pounds the week before and knew that I needed something extreme to get me to my real weight of…
