Ok...even though I skipped a week of reporting/weighing in, I'm going to go ahead and call this week 9. Gained a pound over two weeks. Not bad. I know where those pounds came from. Why when it's 15 degrees and snowing am I tempted to eat ice cream? Blasted banana cream pie blizzard from Dairy Queen! Here's the weigh in:
219
Weeehaaa!!! Broke 220 this week! Here's the weigh in:
218
Could this coming week be the one I break 220? We'll see next Friday. A loss of 3 lbs this week. No carbs and no sugar. I added a little caffiene back to the diet but made it 7 days caffeiene-free. I had HUGE headaches every night last week. By the way, fellow Gracer and youth director Heath has joined me on the Friday Weigh In. He lost 5 lbs his first week! Here's my Friday weigh in:
220
Same as last week. Better than a gain! Started something new this week. I'm Caffeine free now going on day 5. Head hurts!
223
One word...Christmas

I'm beginning to think my scale is not working properly. Could I have possibly lost 2 and 1/2 pounds? Just weird. Here's my weigh in:
221
Bummer. Small Group, one DQ Blizzard (bought by a co-worker), and one Quarter Pounder from McDonalds didn't help. Up a pound and a half from last week.
223.5
No sugar (Well except for that one bowl of Lucky Charms and half a Nutty Bar). No fries or pizza. All that and a loss of 1 pound. My weight today:
222
When I took my blog fast back in September, I missed out on an opportunity to join some fellow worship leaders who started a weight loss accountability-type group online. They're all doing video weigh-ins which is much too high-tech for me. You can check out a few of them (Bobby, Pete, Los).
A couple weeks ago I was again inspired by Rich when I saw how he's just been losing weight like crazy. He inspired me to go for it!
In January 2004, I went to the doctor and was weighed. I hadn't been weighed in a few years before that. When I stepped on the scale I saw the little weight thingy go to the 200lbs marker. I expected that. Then I saw the nurse move the second weight thingy to the right...farther....and farther to the right. I weighed in at 266lbs. That was the most I'd ever weighed in my life. I knew then I had to make some changes. I made a goal to reach 200lbs. That year I lost 55 lbs from February - October 2004. I weighed in at 210lbs and never reached my goal. In fact since then I've gained a few back and now weigh 223lbs. While yes I'm thrilled I don't weigh over 250lbs, I am still in the category of "obese"...yes..."obese". Sooo....I'm going to use this blog as an accountability partner and you all who read will be a part of it. Here's my first weigh in:
