Saw one of the winners of the show "Biggest Loser", who lost 214 pounds (went from 404 to about 195) has gained about half the weight back (he's back up to 310). Scary stuff. I'm coming to the conclusion that people like us need to behave like recovering addicts. During maintenance, you almost have to be as focused on your eating/exercising as you are during weight loss. You have to be vigilant about maintaining, you can't start to think "Hey, I'm thin, screw it" and eat whatever you want. You can certainly allow more indulgences than during weight loss, but you can never take your eye off the scale and the reprecussions of your actions.

Well, I seem to be in a good groove. I haven't lifted my legs, just my upper body b/c of a back problem. But I added running to my workouts, which seems to do the trick for me in terms of losing pounds...

Still trailing Billy, who should go out this weekend and enjoy himself, maybe stop by Geno's on your way home...

Good weigh in today. I have some obsticles coming up. Today, going to the in-laws for dinner, then I have a poker game, then tomorrow we are visiting friends all day. But I have a plan, just need to stick to it.

Hopefully Billy doesn't lose another 4 pounds today...

So here I am. I've gained back about 10 pounds since June. Many factors/excuses, but the past is the past. Billy and I have started another challenge, basically, whoever loses the most weight in January wins some cold hard cash. My goal is to eat clean every day in January. No booze, no sweets, no cheat meals.
