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.

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.
