a 100 year

up to 62.4

67.4 as of this morning.

I hope this isn't seen as a constant bumpage thing, I just keep some threads updated as I think of it.

I can stop ..

My latest blog post, copy-pasta style. I started this journey trying to get support from some people, to kick this into gear. To be honest, I was just trying to attention grab because that is what I needed, people to pay attention .. forcing me move forward. BP.net users were a sizable chunk of my initial support, and I thank you guys for being there for me.

"Well, I am past the 100 day mark. That is exciting. I have made it this far in just over 100 days. It’s completely nuts to think back to January 1st. I was a completely different person, both physically and emotionally. That first picture is almost .. hard to look at. I mean, I know that’s just me 70 pounds ago, but that is a place I never want to go back to.

I feel better today than I did then. I look better today than I did then … way better. I want this to stay, and stay it shall. This is no longer a “diet” or a “challenge”, this is my life. January 1st was the day I took the reigns back to my own life and started leading the way, and the results speak for themselves. I have not lost all the weight I want to .. or need to lose yet, but I am getting there. One step at a time.

This weekend was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time. I went on a few walks, one with my sister and a couple by myself along the Auld-Brokaw Trail in Yankton. Those walks allowed me to think about some stuff going on in my life, where it is going, when it’s going there, and with whom I am going. Those miles on the trail this weekend, lost in the music and scenery around me was some of the best personal time I have had since high school. I not only got the exercise needed to drop 3 pounds over the weekend, I got the calm I needed to make my worlds cares vanish if only for a moment. I want to capture what happened this weekend and bottle it, set it on a shelf for a rainy day.

I have a really bad case of “The Mondays” here, not gunna lie. I wish I could have made time stand still and just sit in the center of what was this weekend’s bliss.

266 is my weight this morning. 69.2 pounds I have lost so far with 30.8 pounds left of my 100 target. I am not afraid that I can’t do this anymore, I know I can and I will. I am not scared of what is around the corner as I am ready to meet the future’s challenges head-on and without hesitation. This is my life, and I am finally starting to understand that and enjoy it.

I will see you guys tomorrow, have a pleasant Monday."

Wow, seventy pounds. That’s quite an achievement. Congratulations, and keep it up!

No! Don't stop. I don't reply every time (or even close), but I'm glad for the updates, and really impressed with your progress! It helps me keep inspired on some of the improvements I'm making in my own life.

Hey Samuel, don't stop posting man. Honestly I enjoy reading through this thread. Every winter I gain about 15 pounds and once spring hits I always start dieting to get back down to my normal weight.

So I just started my dieting and working out again about 7 days ago, and reading positive stories like this keep me motivated and help me to stick with my plan.

Good job so far, and I am sure you will hit your 100 pound goal easily if you continue the way your doing it.

Don't stop! At least you're not making a new thread every time! I like seeing the updates too. It's awesome to see someone so dedicated.

71 as of this morning

Thanks to all of you for being supportive. I just don;t want to be bothering people I guess. If my updating this doesn't do that, then I will continue.

Awesome! I think you'll have more than a 100 year in 2010! After all, the year isn't even halfway over yet.

79.8 as of this morning.

Awesome!

82.4 pounds

You are doing an awesome job there! I am impressed. You have a dedication that is obvious in the numbers. Numbers do not lie!

91 pounds as of this morning.

congrats keep this up and your gonna crush 100

94 pounds.

My god guys .. it's really going to happen. I set out with a goal to lose 100 pounds in 12 months, thinking it would be the hardest thing to accomplish. We are almost to the 6 month mark, and I am at 94 pounds lost.

Holy hell.

96.4 as of this morning.

Woo! You did it in under 6 months! That is awesome!

Thanks guys for the support. I am shocked myself.

I have moved my goal back to 140 .. hopefully by the end of the year, but for sure want to hit that. That will put me at 195 .. which for my build is fine with me, then .. maybe some toning. We will see. Just .. I want to feel better, and I do. Now for the fine tuning.

Congratz Sam! That's awesome that you set your goal and not only hit it, but SMASHED it. You're an inspiration to me, honestly. I'm sitting at 240 right now and want to get that extra 40 GONE. I've started going to the gym in the mornings when I can before work, but am about to start going at night when I can't make it in the morning. Ideally, I'd like to get rid of the 40 by my birthday at the end of next month, but I don't see that as a realistic goal. So as of now, I haven't set a time frame, just a goal to continue to work hard and eat right. Hopefully I can hit my extra 40 by the time you hit yours. :gj: Again, congratz. That's an amazing transformation!

Just an updated picture. Crappy I know, but I have been so busy with the family stuff that getting a great pic for before and after hasn't worked out.
