Well......

...Here it is! OK, I know I haven't measured fractions of pounds but since it is the final weigh-in - I thought I would make an exception!

Starting Weight: 383
Current Weight: 301.5


Total Loss for 2008
81.5 pounds!!

I'm having trouble knowing what to write. Too many emotions are swirling around me. I must give first thanks to God. There were so many times when I just wanted to chuck this whole thing and He kept me strong and put wonderful people in my path to encourage me at just the right time. Thank you Father for taking care of your child.

Then there is Jimmy Page - Fitness Coach, Man of God, King of Pain. Love you man! Thanks for the push, the support and your example. Also, thanks for giving of your time and talents to those who are searching for a healthy life.

Lisa & Larry Steve - My SupperThyme USA family! I am not exaggerating when I say that without the 3-A-Day Fast Track meals this goal may have been close to impossible for me. Thanks for taking care of me and the others who are eating better because of your care and concern.

Tracey, Dave & the rest of my WRBS family - your support and prayers always helped to pump me up when I needed it!

Stacey & Matthew - You are my life! Thank you for living with and loving me through the tough times.

And finally...Thank YOU! You have been a constant source of prayers, support and a laugh at just the right time. I'm not sure that you can ever fully understand what it has meant to me to know that you have been standing with me this year. I am truly blessed.

So.......Now What?

Well, first off - We are going to party! Be watching next week for the announcement of a date for a party at STUSA (Thanks Lisa!) I want you to come a celebrate with me. I will be wearing a special Hawaiian shirt made for me by Wave Shoppe (Thanks Charles!). And I'll talk a bit more about my plans for 2009.

Speaking of 2009...Jimmy Page and I are talking about my next steps and I will be letting you know what the plan is within the next few weeks. To that end, I will be taking the month of January off from posting weekly weigh-ins. I will be posting during the month but I need a few weeks off from the weigh-in. I'm not coming off my eating or exercise - just think of it as a vacation!

During this time I will also be working on a new blog that will hopfully have a few more features and some fun things!

I'm sure I'll have more to say in the coming days and weeks...but for right now...

Live Well, Live Healthy!

Mike

Friday Weigh-In 12/19/08

It is going to be a photo finish...

Current Weight: 307
Last Week's Weight: 307
Loss for the Week: 0

Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 76

Even this week. So, that means 11 days to lose 4 pounds...and Christmas dinner in between. This will be interesting!

Have Very Merry Christmas!

Live Well, Live Healthy!

Mike

I'm pushing for the end...

Current Weight: 307
Last Week's Weight: 309
Loss for the Week: 2

Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 76

OK, I have to tell you that was surprised by the loss this week. I thought for sure that this would be an even week. It is interesting how you can "Feel" thinner or fatter and it has nothing to do with your actual weight (I know I'm not telling most of you ladies anything you don't already know!).

In 13 days it will be Christmas and that means Christmas dinner! So, I really need to drop these pounds before then. Ugh! More bike!

Live Well, Live Healthy,

Mike
