So if it wasn't for a bet I made with 2 of my co-workers exactly 2 months ago over who could lose the most weight in those months, i never would have even bothered to head out and get a gym membership. So the fact that we had money on the line was more than enough motivation to get up off the computer chair.
Anyway, as of today, I am 19lbs lighter and $40 richer.
But with all the pictures I've seen on this forum and all of the kind words of inspiration and influence, I plan to keep going strong tomorrow morning. I'm still fine tuning my habits to suit whats best for me, but I'm confident I can reach my goals as long as I keep this forum bookmarked. lol
I started my path at a whopping 271.4, and weighed in this morning at 252.4. At first i was discouraged because even though I saw the scale moving, I didn't feel the way i thought somebody who was losing weight was supposed to feel. Also, I couldn't really see any real difference when I looked in the mirror. But I'll tell ya, the greatest feeling thus far has been the compliments I get from people, be they close friends I see on a daily basis, or those I haven't seen in months.
Here's hoping the next 2 months are as rewarding as the last 2 have been. I plan to update this post with good news on October 18.
