FatMan here. This picture was taken 6/30/2007 and this text was written the same day. That closes the book on month 1. Total loss 24 lbs is fantastic. Total inches lost 15.25 is amazing to me. I feel noticeably better and look a little better too. My face is a lot thinner but my weight loss has highlighted some real areas for me to work on.

Last week I had a goal to lose 5 lbs and I came up 1 lb short. I did some ciphering (As Jethro Bodine would say) and based on 150 days left I need to average losing roughly 1 lb every 2 1/2 days or 3 lbs a week. So far this has not been an issue but I have a feeling that it will get tougher as the weeks go on. The exciting thing about chronicling this journey is that it takes some of the boredom out of  weight reduction.  There is always the doubt factor since I am, after all, human. But the challenge far outweighs the doubt. This week my goal will be a modest one, 3lbs for a target weight of 228. You can follow my thoughts and progress on my daily blog.
