Week 10 - Let's Recap

When I started 10 weeks ago I was 380lbs and wearing 4XL clothes. Today I'm 324lbs and I'm down to a 2XL. For the first time since I was a teenager I can buy clothes at a regular store where I can pay regular prices like everyone else. For almost the last decade there was only one store in town where I could buy clothes (Casual Male big and tall) and I had to pay their prices but not anymore.


Back in December I went on a two hour hunt in Jamestown, Tn. that night I was supposed to go on the coon hunt but the thought of walking two more hours in those hills absolutely horrified me. My feet, ankles, and knees just couldn't take it. That wasn't the first time that I've run into trouble like that but this one sticks out because of all the flak I took over it from everyone. My hobby is competition hunting with my dog and I was letting him down by not being in the proper shape to do it. This is what pushed me over the edge and made me do something... Walking shouldn't be painful.

At the beginning of this program I could go 10 minutes on my exercise bike or a treadmill and I was already looking for a reason to get off. Today I can ride the bike for an hour without stopping and I turn the elevation on the treadmill because walking on flat is not challenging enough. That is a lot of change in 10 weeks time!


I didn't have a bad week this week my loss was 5.3lbs. Which is about what I've been averaging every week so far.



Starting Weight 380 lbs
Current Weight 324 lbs
Weight Loss To Date: 56 lbs

You're doing Grant County proud Big D (that name won't be appropriate any longer). Keep up the good work.

Outstanding work my friend. It's nice to see your success. You need to get a shirt that proclaims "Pimpin' Ain't Easy".
