100 lb Loss Milestone

My weight is down to 532 lbs, which is a loss of 4 pounds for the week and a total loss of 100 lbs. It feels good to reach this milestone. Now I'm ready to get out of the 500 club!

First, I want to thank you for reading my blog. Next, a big thank you goes out to everyone following and commenting on the blog. I wouldn't have been able to do this without your help. I have never stayed on a weight loss plan this long, nor have I ever had this much success. I am eternally grateful to all of you.

Even my blogosaurus is throwing a party.

This has made my Monday.

Have a good week!

P.S. Just 200 more to go till Dega!

P.S. #2: Here's some new progress pics (I bought the shirt, tie, and belt just for this pic)

  19. Dude - Phenomenal success, and it's really only the beginning! You are the man!

    Congrats over and over. Great call with buying yourself the clothes too - Celebrate!

    Also, I swear - go to Costco, or Sams Club or a pet store, or somewhere, and pick up two of their 50 pound bags of dog food. You lost THAT off of your body. It will blow your mind.

    Again, way to be!

    Keep on cranking - Dega awaits...

  61. CONGRATULATIONS! What wonderful success!

    Have you checked out Lakeshore Foundatoin in B'ham--off Lakeshore Drive (1 light before Southern Progress and up the hill)? It's a wonderful facility that I worked out at when I lived in B'ham 5 years ago. I had to a doctor's letter to join. But it's a place I still miss.

    They cater to people in wheelchairs so all the mats are raised to chair level--so much easier for me than trying to plop to the ground and hoist back up! And they had several types of water aerobics.

    Best of all, their training was INCREDIBILY cheap--a package of 6 sessions turned out to be less than $15 a session!

    Everyone there was "special" in some way so my weight didn't make me feel like a standout. Everyone had some challenge they were working through.

    Check it out. Go for a tour. Think about it. http://www.lakeshore.org

  64. Wow, Stephen! What an awesome job you're doing...you're just inspiring me EVERY DAY! (I've been following your blog for about a month now, but it's taken me a little bit to figure out how to post on here.) Your hard work, your outstanding effort, and your practical approach to this is paying off. I really believe you're going to be able to do this for the REST OF YOUR LIFE...this isn't just a diet for you! SO awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I'm a couple days late but just wanted you to know how excited I am for your first 100lbs - you truly have pushed through a lot of emotional B.S. You are on fire and look great!

    I wish we lived closer so I could hug you!
