One Year mark for Duncan boys
Well today’s weigh-in was the one year mark since we started our program. Unfortunately we have all backed up from some low weight points of a month or so ago, but the numbers are still pretty good. Dad has lost 62.6 in a year, I am down 51.4 in a year, Matthew is down 78.4 in a year, and Mark is down 37 lbs. in a year. So the total loss for the 4 of us is 229.4 lbs. in a year as a group. The bothersome part is what we all were down at one point…Dad was down 68, me 65, Matthew 84, and Mark 50. We all need to get re-focused and make smart decisions through-out the entire week. Weekends continue to be a killer for everyone due to lack of focus and commitment. 6 months until the journey for the trip is officially over, and although that seems like a long time, as we have now found it goes by fast and the weight loss is a struggle of ups and downs, so we cannot put off hitting it hard any longer.

Glad to hear the family’s made good progress. Perhaps some means of more accountability between the group would help? Either that, or each of you selecting a goal you’ll hit in a month (or two), and stating it as a promise to the entire group? Better yet, the promise and writing them all down on a single sheet, make copies and everyone puts them up on the fridge, in their gym, etc.?
Either way, great work so far - get back to it and kick some fat!
