I was talking to my wife earlier today and we think I’ve lost 100 pounds.
Here’s how I got there.
The last time I remember weighing before I started losing weight in April ‘06 was in January ‘06. That’s when I saw 350 pounds. In February and March I was working a lot of hours so I never really had the time (or the inclination) to check the scale. During those two months I had fast food every single day. Many of those days I had it twice (lunch and dinner). During the day I occasionally bought regular soft drinks and snacks (snickers and such) from a nearby store. At home we had tons of ice cream, candy bars, chips and other assorted junk food. I didn’t eat that stuff every day but I had some every now and then. My exercise at this time was really low. I had to do more walking then the average desk job requires but nothing crazy.
There’s no way that I didn’t go over 350 during that time. I just have no idea what that number was. I wonder if it’s possible to gain 15 pounds in two months with a 3500+ calorie diet and little exercise.
It doesn’t really matter what number I think it was, though. The number that I know it reached was 350 so I’m gonna stick with it. That means I’ve officially lost only 85 pounds.
I can’t wait to see 250lbs. That will officially be 100 pounds lost. That will also be officially awesome.
