Week One

After one week my resolution is still intact. Even with using Monday as a marking point, I was still able to lose 2.4 pounds. My goal is to keep this pace up so that every 4 weeks I will lose 10 pounds. This would result in a loss of 20 pounds by Spring Break, not that I am going anywhere that will require less clothing than four shirts, long johns, a hat and mittens. However, 20 pounds is a nice "milestone" if you will and it would put be under 200 pounds for the first time in awhile. Cutting calories has been easier than I imagined. The website told me to shoot for 2,650 calories per day. I have been keeping it under 2,000 calories except for the weekend. I am pleased with week one's results after a weekend that included 50 cent draws, Hickory Park and Old Chicago. I will try to keep a weekly tab on my progress, not that anyone really cares.

Week One Start: 218.6
Week One End: 216.2
Week One +/-: -2.4 lbs
Total +/-: -2.4 lbs

Good job. You're doing better than I am. Since I've been taking note of what I eat, I've gained 5 pounds. Pretty good start, I'd say. My website has told me to shoot for less than 1700 calories. I guess I've averaged a little under 2300 a day, so that's probably my problem. I've been working out and recording that, too. I think I've only overshot my "Burn Meter" once. Better luck to you!

Austin, thats pretty good work. I feel like a fat ass since you both are working out and on diets. I should probably start doing something.
