369 – You’ve gotta make your own fun

WEIGHT UPDATE!

Last Saturday marked the end of week number 3 of my new weight loss endeavor. Here are the stats:

STARTING WEIGHT: 284.8 lbs.
CURRENT WEIGHT: 278.6 lbs.
WEIGHT LOST: -6.2 lbs.

Not as impressive as the last two weeks, but it's going in the right direction. Slowly but surely!

See you all Wednesday!

  1. Congrats on the weight loss. Not surprising you’re seeing a slower rate after the first couple of weeks. Your body is just adjusting. I’ve found Tae Kwondo is a good way to help loose weight and improve balance.

  2. Great job so far, keep it up! Statistically, slower weight loss tends to last longer because your body and your psyche have time to adjust.

  3. Sentient hammers and swords, I am starting to wonder of there is a half mad carpenter with an entire set of enchanted tools. Other than Handy Manny and Bob the builder.

  4. Once you get down to maintenance weight, you are going to have to adopt some new habits. I’ve been recommending the No S weight loss system, and trying to use it. It’s slow, but simple, and weight lost stays off. Here’s how it works:

    No sweets. (that includes sodas, be they regular or diet.)
    No seconds. (Load your plate high as you like, but only ONCE per meal.)
    No snacks. (Only three meals a day.)
    Except on S-days (Saturday, Sunday, Special days [i.e., celebrations and/or travel]).

    Ideally, you will try to EXCLUDE as many potential S-days as possible.

    1. @Ralthar: Oops. That shows you how often I use the three-panel template for my strip. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. 🙂

  5. Congrats on the loss. I would try doing yoga i am a rather big guy my own self and it was the frist exsersize type thing that i did not hate.

    I think the hammer is cool. But this is the point in most of the campains i have played in that every one that does not have a epic super iteam starts wineing that they should have one to. i dont think the monk will but dur might start getting wepon envy if he cant talk to his axe.

  6. By the way, best eating tip for losing weight, eat early, eat often, eat healthy.
    Calories consumed in the morning are most likely to be burned for activity, calories consumed in the few hours before bed are converted to food just when your body needs them least, so of course they become fat.
    3 large meals a day leads to stretching the stomach, and lowers the metabolism. We are designed to eat 5-6 times a day, and doing so helps you lose weight.
    Many times people who are overweight are also starving-yes, you read that right. You are most likely out of B, C, or A vitamins, or trace minerals. Eat those, and you won’t be hungry.
