Tough week traveling this week, but I ate well all week.  Have not excercised any, (other than walking through airports!) but plan to so so today.  As of today, I have lost 15lbs.  That is 6.5% of my "starting" body weight - in less than 3 weeks.  I am very pleased with the progress!

OK..so, I have decided to move the goal posts on where I want to be with my health and my weight.  I orginally just wanted to get below 200lbs.  After dropping 15lbs in 3 weeks, I feel great!  I, like most, was thrilled during the 3-4 days stretches when I lost multiple pounds, and then "feeling low" when I would go 3-4 days and not lose anything....but, I really accept it now...as long as I keep doing what I am doing, I will produce, ultimately, progress in the same direction.  As a "former" athelete, I am not a huge fan of BMI.  My hours in the weight room mean that I should weigh more than someone with a "marathoners build."  I do,  however, think I need a more advanced goal.  So, today, I added another 15 lbs to my orginal goal.  That is a 50lb total [url=http://www.fattoskinny.com/]weight loss[/url].  I want to be healthy.  I have three daughters and a lovely bride.  I owe them, and myself, my efforts at "good health."

A 50 lb loss will be a 22% decrease in my body weight.  More important than an obsession with a particular number, I need to be healthy...and it is up to me....sooooo, I have updated my ticker - and my mindset.  

I have a dear friend who introduced me to Doug's book.  He has lost 45-50 lbs and will lose another 50 before his 50th birthday.  He is my true friend and I am glad he talked with me about his efforts.  He is such an inspiration to me.

Thank you for reminding me of this ... Im not into BMI either .... people guess my weight to be about 170 when I really weigh 215 and i do not look obese as BMI states

I think my goal is going to be dress size vs weight ....

and thank you for relaying that you had days of dropping multiple pounds then days of nothing .... I needed that as I have been following to a T and put a pound or so back on but its good to know others experience this as well .... Good luck on your weight loss goal!!

Glad I could help!  I have received encouragement by visiting this board.  I want to do the same for others.  I am now down a total of 18 lbs in less than one month!
