Day 39 Extreme Accountability Challenge Total weight loss to date 32.0 pounds to date Thanks to posting my weight loss journey on Facebook everyday and the program that I’m following with my health coach John Davisson, I’m taking off a lot of weight in a short period of time. But as anyone who’s ever lost weight can tell you it never comes off fast enough. It goes on slowly over the years but it’s seems so slow coming off. Today I’m going to focus on being thankful, yes I had a 8/10 pound drop since yesterday but it pays to look back and see what ground that we’ve covered. In 39 days a lot has happened. Day one for me was really March 8, 2017 when I hit 304 pounds on the scales, I freaked out, panic set in and changed my eating. I had this silly idea of posting my scales daily to Facebook but I I had not really made the decision until a week later when Hyo Kim a Life on Fire life coach from California was matched with me during a week long Webinar series that I participated. Hyo and I talked about several things but I told him that my weight was really holding me back. Then I told him about my idea to post my scales daily to Facebook for Extreme Accountability. He then challenged me to do it then. I was terrified. But I was desperate, because I knew that if I didn’t do something drastic, my life would be less than it could be and I would always have a weight problem and probably die before my time. So I posted. That was March 15th, 2017 and I weighed 298 pounds for that post. Now today 272 pounds, still a big boy, but I’m going to get there, 175 pounds. I never dreamed that any of you that are posting your weight daily with me would come along for this journey. Maybe we will look back 5 years from now and realize that in some small way the ounces that we were all brave enough to post daily the up days the down days, maybe someone is watching that will change. Somewhere a man will get to meet his grandchildren or a woman will live to see some dream fulfilled that she never believed she could achieve and would not have achieved if she had not lost weight. Fellow Extreme Accountability Challenge Participants you are doing something bigger than yourself, stay the course, you are making a difference in your lives and in the lives of others. 175 pounds here I come!!!
