Doc's weight loss

mmccartneydc

Hey guys and gals. I've been hardcore dieting for the past month and pretty proud of my self so wanted to share. Luckily, cigars do not have any calories so that has been my one guilty pleasure. Long story short, after the birth of our daughter, I realized that I had gotten way too "big" and wanted to make a change. I had contemplated offering some sort of weight loss plan in my office for quite sometime and decide to finally do it. I started this plan on May 20 2013 and I weighed 258lbs. As of today, 25 days into the program, I am down 28 lbs.!!!!!!!!!!!!! My goal is to get down to 205 so I am just over half way! I just wanted to share my excitement with my BOTLs! Stay tuned for before and after pictures!

I am most interested, too. Needed to do this for a while now. I want to get to around 220 and keep it there. I know if I go much lower, I'd just put it back on. Pushing 255 and just under 6'5".

Nice job! Now that i'm done with grad school I gotta get the weight down. At 240 now and want to be back down to about 195. I think I'm also about healed enough to start playing soccer again (rehabbed a knee and then pulled groin that the sports doc said should have torn).

Nice work Doc. I used to float around the 190-200 mark when I was really active and running races and the such. Nowadays, I'm actually pretty content to hover around 250. Helps that the Mrs. enjoys a larger man.

I broke into the 220's today. Weighed in at 228 after eating a little too much while celebrating my first Father's day. So a total of 30 down in 29 days! Woohoo! I think I responded to all PM's but I was really busy this weekend. I didn't get online one time until today! Thanks again for all the words of encouragement! It really does help!

Well, after plateau-ing for a couple days, it has started to come off again. Down 2 more for a total of 32! Just saw 2 PM's that I missed to kingjk and whodey. Will get those out shortly!

mmccartneydc

Well, I am still dropping, just not near as fast. 3 more for a total of 35. Only 18 more to go til my target of 205!

Thank you sir! Yeah, I feel a ton better and I am not avoiding mirrors as much as I used to! LOL

The real test is going to be when I go and have a new physical done. I can not wait to compare my cholesterol and liver enzyme numbers from before and after!
