Did I misspell that? Yeah, I think I did. Probably should have been something like Weight Update.

So as many of you know, especially since I mentioned it in a previous post, Laura and I are on Weight Watchers and also working out. I figured I’d give you all a progress report since we’ve been doing this for something like a month and a half or so.

My max weight was about 210 pounds. That’s pretty hefty for me, although apparently I concealed it well. Nobody would ever believe I was even over 200 pounds, especially my family. See, back when Laura and I first started dating, I weighed about 145 pounds. I was as skinny as a rail. Again, my max was 210.

Last night I weighed myself after a grueling day outside. I’ll talk about that in a bit, I suppose. In another post. I weighed in at about 200.5 midday. Before dinner, so I anticipate I woke up somewhere around 201. That’s not bad. Not great progress, considered I’ve got a friend who’s already lost something like 30 pounds in 3 and a half months, and Laura’s already lost about 11-12 pounds. But it’s progress. Eating better and working out have definitely helped turn the tide for me.

So I’ve lost nearly 10 pounds. Once I get under 200 consistently, something like 198 for a few days, then I’m considering that milestone #1. Getting under 200 pounds is my first milestone. The second one is getting under 185, which I imagine is going to be tough.

Laura says she thinks I’m skinnier than I used to be. I do know that my belt is a little looser than it used to be. At some point I’m hoping to be able to move it up one notch. I’m also hoping that all of this weight loss will help me fit into my good pair of pants, which I definitely don’t want to replace.

In any case, good progress. Nearly lost 10 pounds. I’ll post later as to how my uber-busy weekend went, specifically yesterday and all its outdoorsy goodness.
