I just did a 5 week tune up challenge to survive the Holidays and dropped 11 pounds which I fully expect to put back at least half of that between now and new years.
I decided to just do it for myself and not wait/start another challenge. I pretty much gained everything back and then some from the previous one
.
I started on Nov 1st with a starting weight of 217.5. As of this morning, I weighed in at 203. So in 9 weeks, I've lost 14.5 pounds and am pretty happy with that. I don't really have a target goal weight, though it would be pretty cool to get back to where I was when I met my wife and/or got married which was ~185. We celebrated 18 years this past Oct.
It's pretty amazing. Since I started this, my enjoyment of exercise is at a high that I haven't been at for at least 12+ years. I'm walking about 25 miles a week and starting to mix in some kettlebell workouts. It's a good feeling and even though I've been running like total dog crap poker wise and my work has beat me down pretty bad over the last 4+ months, I'm feeling great emotionally as well.
