As for the weight loss, 10lbs in a week is incredible. I think the most I lost when I was doing WeightWatchers last year was a max of 7lbs. In my time with them, about 3 months, I lost 35s and got down to 315lbs. The lightest I had been in years.
Like you, I was never a small kid. I was already 6' when I was a freshman in High School and weighed in at 200lb back then. By the end of my 4 years in high school I grew to 6'2" and tacked another 40lbs to 240lbs. I was involved in Track, throwing shotput and lifting lots of weights, not for definition back then, but for strength in doing Shotput.
And then came college. 4 years of living in the dorms, eating pizzas at 1am or laterI ballooned upto 300lbs really quick. When school ended I moved back home and quickly lost 50lbs from eating regular food.
And then I moved to St. Louis in Sept of 92 to join their PD. I managed to get back down to 235-240lb for most of my 8 years there. Plus having been on the bike patrol the last 4 years really kept things in shape. My face was thin, I could see my toes still without having to suck in gut or anything.
Then I move to Charlotte NC to start my IT career, and then the weight gain cameI went to almost 350-375 in my two years there. Sitting on your arse all day and not working out or even walking had a serious impact on my body.
When I moved back to St. Louis in Sept of 2002, I still kept the same weight, I think it went down a bit, to maybe around 350lb, but still way to much for me! Last summer I joined WeightWatchers and went through 3 months of weekly meetings and weighins and I lost an astonishing 35lbs. I was feeling better and felt a bit more comfortable in my skin for once.
But then my contract where I worked ended and I had to make budget cuts in the midterm and so went WeightWatchers. I tried to keep points plan, but it quickly faded. I went to my Doctor last month cause I hadnt seen her in a year, and I weighed in at 335lbs. I was extremely disappointed in myself again.
So hopefully in April I am gonna be getting back on WeightWatchers. I really think the weekly meetings helped to inspire me to lose the weight I had lost in my visits there. Plus they push you for goals and you strive to make them happen.
I have to start riding more everyday and try to stop making excuses why I cant ride or at least get out and be active and not sit around all day doing nothing. Even washing and waxing your car, you are burning calories and keep your baby clean!!! Its those little things that add up to making things better.
I think one thing that simply floored me last year at Branson was seeing Dunster! Back in 2006 he was a really really really big guy, not just in his height but he was heavy. Not blubbering mind you, but just a big guy! And this past Meet, he lost like 70lbs+ and god dang! He looked like a new guy! And I complimented him on that and how jealous I was of his weight loss
Hopefully maybe if I can get my arse in gear, so maybe I can pull a Dunster
Thanks for listening
