After starting this site and losing about 30 pounds last year, I’ve taken twice as much time to put each of those 30 pounds back on. With all the changes in my life (new job and the purchase of our first house), I was thinking about trying the old eating right and exercising thing. Then my friend Terry, over at http://www.suburbanadventure.com/, suggested a bet.

He too would like to lose some weight, so he proposed a weight loss bet. Each month we’ll both set a weight loss goal. This month for example, I’ve set a goal of 7 pounds. If I make my goal, I lose no money. If I don’t make my goal, I owe Terry $200. The same is true for him. The idea of course,  is to have additional incentive to lose weight.

For the record, as of right now, I weigh 282.8 pounds.

Thanks to Sondra for pointing out, that after 6 months of existing, I was apparently trying to loosen my weight. That probably explains my piss-poor results these last few months. I should have been trying to lose my weight.

Note: The tag line across the top of the page was “Will the Wii Fit help Fat Guy loose weight?” and not “Will the Wii Fit help Fat Guy lose weight?”

Thanks to Sondra!

PS - I’m looking forward to sweet delicious cookies with way too many flavors.

Much to my surprise, today 2 people mentioned that it looked like I lost weight. I haven’t noticed anything yet, and it’s barely 5% weight loss, but hell, I’ll take it!

On another note, I recently held a BMI calculating contraption that said 33% of my existence is fat. 33% fat! 

Here’s the weekly bit:
What: Current (Week Change) (Total Change)
BMI: 40.16 (-.17) (-1.81)
Weight: 265 (-1.1) (-11.9)

Here’s a little more:

I’m approaching the goal I made on the Fit, and it looks like I’m going to fail. I have 10 days to loose 10 pounds. The goal was 22 pounds in 2 months giving me, according to the Fit, a BMI of 38.62. While I’m still happy with my current drop of 12 pounds, I’m disappointed I’m going to fail my goal. Balls.

On another note, I hit a bad eating streak of about 5 days this week. It started last Wednesday with a trip to the bar with some guys from work. It was the usual things: beer, cheese covered deep fried waffle fries spattered with ranch dressing and bacon, and an over sized fantastically greasy burger. Then it continued to spiral into a deliciously dark circle containing, but not limited to, chicken cheese steaks, chicken fingers, funnel cakes, fried perogies, burgers containing at least 3 kinds of meat, grilled cheeses, chocolate milk, and all of the other fried and sugary staples.

Sunday afternoon I realized I was in trouble when I was taking slices of bacon and dipping them like chips into a tub of spreadable cheese. Conclusion: Waffles Fries are a gateway food, and after consuming them it’s only a matter of days before I’m back into my habit of eating bacon every time I pass the fridge.

I skipped a couple weeks there, but they would have been boring posts anyway. It’s been a month and a half now and I’ve lost a total of 10.8 pounds, or 1.8 pounds a week on average. Now that I’m starting to get into a good routine, I hope that average will start to rise.

What: Current (Week Change) (Total Change)

Fuck. Up already and it’s only been 3 weeks. I’m sure the 4th of July party’s hours of eating and drinking didn’t help… oh well.

Going to keep it brief and just post my progress.

I think it’s time to make a page just to keep track of these 2 things.

This might be a lame post, but still I had to share. Same routine as last time: checked you tube video, found new URL, went there, foreign language, translated. It’s a forum in French, which I think is for a WoW guild, and a German poster posted our video and wrote “pour le plaisir des yeux miam sex” underneath, which apparently means “for the pleasure of eyes miam sex”. Not sure what miam is exactly, but I’ll assume it means “the master of”.

The URL is: http://heavendream.arwenn.net/viewtopic.php?t=1177

So as usual, after writing the last post I checked out the You Tube videos to look at hits, etc. So I saw there were 2 hits from this url: http://chitong.tistory.com/46. So I go, and the whole page is in Korean. Right under the video of me half naked it has some Korean written. I used a couple translation websites and all I got was: “The flesh draw out [khung].”

I posted on their site asking them for a translation, I really hope that “the flesh draw out” is some sort of sexual saying that means a horde of hot Korean girls want to touch my shiny Buddha body.
