245 today. I know it's annoying to constantly post my weight but I'm just excited because I'm reaching an important milestone here. Almost EXACTLY 3 years ago I weighed in at the start of our office Biggest Loser contest at 244. I have the spreadsheet open and this was recorded on 5/7/2010. How could would it be if on 5/7 this year, I could be down to the same weight I was 3 years ago? For somebody who has pretty much only ever gained weight his whole life, I think that would be pretty cool.

Another interesting fact I learned from looking up the old spreadsheet: I did actually lose "some" weight over the course of the competition (I was wrong in my original post saying I actually gained), down to 237 on 6/15/2010. This gives me a pretty clear-cut new goal: lose MORE than 7 pounds in the same amount of time. At my current rate, I really have no doubts that I could blow my old weight loss record out of the water, but who knows. My weight loss is slowing a bit and I could definitely plateau hard enough to not hit that goal.

In other exciting news, my wife Grace has started doing low carb with me too. Her work schedule makes it a little difficult at times, but yesterday she did hit the goal of less than 100 carbs for the day. I think she is encouraged by my progress and seeing how it's not actually that difficult overall, and I am definitely happy to have the love of my life and best friend collaborating on this with me.
