20 pounds+
filed in FYI, Real Life on Aug.25, 2009
So I lost 20 pounds in these past 6 weeks. Some of you may remember that I lost a bunch of weight about 2 years ago but I managed to put it back on (nothing new there). This time its different (promise), a few fatties (me included) at work are doing a biggest loser style contest. So there is $240 bucks up for grabs and I believe my self to be in 2nd place. =( I still have about 2 weeks left and I want to drop about 10 more pounds to either win or just barley lose.
Once this contest ends, a buddy of mine and I are going to enter in a similar bet where we keep the weight off loser pays up $100 bucks!
My goal is weigh about 170 – 185 pounds (right around “high school weight”), just thought I would share.
In case anybody is interested, I am currently on the South Beach Diet (lame name, but it works… at least for me.)

Dante,
I totally recommend the Weight Watchers plan. I lost 40 pounds and I am able to keep it off because it’s a lifestyle change and not a diet plan. I like that I can still eat meat, ice cream, fried food, or whatever I want. This is why I can stay on it forever…because there are no restrictions. You get a certain amount of points per day and you can use it on whatever you want. But, you find that you automatically eat more fruits and veggies because they are low in points. Also, it’s simple enough to follow without paying exorbitant amounts to attend Weight Watchers meetings. We learned about the plan from a friend, bought a WW calculator and Dining Out guide on eBay…and lost the weight without ever attending a meeting. It rocks and it is something that you can do forever. BTW…Sushi is low on points (as long as you don’t eat too much of it in one sitting). Call or email me if you want more details! Congrats on the 20 pounds!
