The Final Weigh-in

Well, here it is. The final weigh-in.

90 days of work, sweat & pain. My goal was to get down to 175 lbs. Well, I managed to eclipse it!












Final weight: 174 lbs.
Weight lost this week: 3.2 lb.
Total weight lost: 20.8 lbs.

Not only did I lose 20 lbs. I also managed to drastically trim down my gut. I think maybe another 5 lbs. or so and I'll be pretty flat. I'd really like to have a 6-pack. A six-pack of beer. I'm thirsty. But after that, I really want to work on a six pack of abs!

I've also managed to work myself out of the majority of my clothes. I only have a few pairs of pants that I can wear and they are quite loose at this point. I've worked my way through every notch on all my belts. This feels pretty damn good.

Looking at these side by side comparisons really makes it real. It's amazing that those first pics weren't even me at my heaviest. If I remember correctly there was a point when I was hovering around 215 lbs. I don't think "hovering" is the right word though. I wasn't leaving the ground.

The next 90 days are what really matters though. Today is like getting my black belt again. You've mastered the basics and now is where the journey really begins. There is still more to lose and then comes the goal of maintaining a healthy weight. I've proven to myself that I can go without a lot of snacks.
