Weigh In - Week 7

Have I really been doing this for 7 weeks now? I guess 7 weeks isn't a long time when I've committed myself to this for 50 weeks, but there has always been (and will be) a nagging thought that I can stop this at any time...It helps to have a goal and a vision to aspire to that keeps me motivated.

As you can see from road sign graphic, I came in at 213 lbs this week. A very respectable 3 lbs loss. I also like that I found a road sign that was not a NY state road sign.

The compliments are also starting to come in a little more frequently. Yesterday, an account rep came in for a meeting and asked if I had lost weight. I obviously shrugged that compliment off as a salesperson doing what they do best. But, after work, my neighbor asked the same question. I thought perhaps my wife told her about my weight loss goals, but she said no...she was also very jealous that I've lost 20+ lbs in 7 weeks, while she has trouble losing 5 lbs...

I guess you Weight Watcher types would call those Non Scale Victories...they definitely make the journey worthwhile.
