2008 Transformation Contest

Since my weekly update pictures won’t be online until my wife gets off of work today, I thought I would offer a sneak peak of this week’s progress by the commonly used, often hated, tool called ‘The Scale’.

Start of Contest:

At the start of this journey I was pushing near to 300 pounds. This seems to be the mark that always kicks me back into gear. I have a PROMISE to myself to never again breach the 300 pound mark. As I progress to each 25lb range I shall set a similar goal.

Week 2:

At the beginning of Week 2 I dismissed the progress as entirely water and glycogen weight but downplayed in my mind that I had lost any fat. After all, I am on a low carb diet. I would reserve any internal compliments until week 3.

Week 3:

Another 2.6 pounds gone, and having started out the week already carb depleted I knew I was making progress finally. However, towards the end of Week 3 I allowed myself a cheat meal TWO DAYS away from weigh-ins and pictures, I feared this would show a gain for Week 4… I really did NOT want to post a gain.

Week 4 (today):

Another 1.8 pounds gone. There is no telling what the progress would have been had I not screwed myself with an unplanned cheat meal. However, the past has passed and we will look to the future.

Total Weight Loss so far: 13 pounds
Goal for contest: 35 pounds
Percentage to goal: 37.14%

Everything is on track so far, and with the upcoming changes to my plan that will take effect soon… things are about to get crazy.
