Hello..

[zodac]

Well here's the skinny on the month of May.... See what I did there. Hehehe...

I only lost 5 pounds this whole month, but I am still ecstatic! Considering the month consisted of a 7 day trip to Vegas where meals were catered (I was a little naughty), a guys weekend, a wedding, and a ton of rain I am taking it as a win! Vegas was tough I cheated, but wisely... I ate fruits and veggies in moderation and not the cookies and cakes. Guys weekend could have been better. Slice or 2 of pizza, too much rum with Coke zero.... Wedding... Yea I sucked there. Was a groomsmen and the finger foods were fabulous! But it was really just 1 day. Other than that I walk a whole 4 miles in the month compared to my normal 15 or more a week.. Bad me, bad puppy too since he lost out.

Overall I went clothes shopping and bought a few 2xlt shirts. Yep 2xlt those following alone I started at 4xlt! Have not worn a 2xlt since 2000! Figured out that I am only 50 pounds from my goal weight and that I am past half way there so I am ahead of schedule!

So here's to my bad month, and turning it around and kicking its a** in June! Hopefully I'll be back with another 10 to 15 gone and be under or right at 300!

To clarify for those following, I have decided that 275 is my new goal not 250. Once at my goal I will see if I need or want to go further. Being so tall I want a solid but healthy frame. Talking with others in the same heights or close I was able to come to this change at a reasonable manor. It will also be a little over 110 of weight gone, and I me gone for ever!

Woo hoo, well done.  You seemed to have had lots of temptations and scrapped  through by the skin of your teeth  (now that truly is a strange saying)., and still managed to lose weight.  I'm sure you are thankful all your months are not like that one.    You did well.  You realise - you owe your pup extra 'walkies' though..

Kudos for you for surviving all that & still coming out a bit ahead that you need! You are inspiring!

You know what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right Rob???
Congrats!

Congrats Rob!!!

You did very well.
And given the "slippage" you had from FTS, May was actually a STELLAR month for you!
You should be proud of the 5 pound loss, despite it all.

Now that you're "back on track" I believe you can expect even better results in June!

There were MANY months I would not see half that 5 pound progress while living FTS.
Of course, I'm in the slow-loser's "turtle club".
I reached my goal anyway through commitment and persistence.
Those two things are necessary to reach any worthwhile goal.

Great job Rob! I enjoy reading your post, it is very inspiring. I am wanting to get to the place where I don't let other people influence me on what I eat or think I have to have what everybody else is having. How do you stay so focused on what you eat? I need some help.

I love your focus!
