I’m in, it coincides with our other weight loss challenge and a good push to be ‘fit for spring’.

I finally took the time to check out Drew Manning and his Fit2Fat2Fit website – truly motivational, his segment with Dr. Oz is well worth watching. I am truly motivated to make a push towards obtaining a much healthier BMI after viewing this…

Yes, I agree, me too ! I just watched it myself and part 2 (http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/drew-manning-fit…) of the 3 part section is pretty intense. I wonder what my kidneys look like after years of abuse if his looks like that after only 6 months ?!?

My BMI is currently 43 which means I’m “Severly Obese” (>35), not just “Obese” (30-35) which means I have to lose over 100lbs just to be considered “Overweight” (25 – 30) and that would be at the top of the range, not even the middle. To get to the top of the “Normal” range (18.5 – 25) I would need to lose 150 lbs, which is the reason for this challenge. Change starts NOW !

Okay, week one is done – now we need to step things up a bit more for week two, I’ll be happy with a two or three pound loss next week considering I’ll be away at a conference – but after that I am targeting for the three to four pound range until I lose fifty pounds … then slow and steady after that. For me, the big thing is to increase my aerobic exercises and stop the evening snacks!

Alright, week two is done and I will weigh-in tomorrow but likely have gained some weight (away at a conference for the week, catered meals, blah, blah, blah). To motivate me to lose the weight, instead of a ‘contract’ commitment on something like the stickk site I simply booked a follow-up appointment with my family doc. In mid-January I will have a follow-up with weigh-in and full blood workup – it is a true motivator for me as I am essentially competing with myself to get better results. So, that means I now have about seven weeks during the most “temptation laden” time of year to lose a goal objective of twenty pounds!

Week four – time sure flies by, I’m still catching up from my weight gain after a week long conference two weeks ago but finally feeling like I’m back on track. Goal for me is to lose four or five pounds this week – also increasing my aerobic activity after having joined a local running group
