Today is weigh-in day! Let’s get to the hard numbers first. For the week I lost 3.8 pounds. I now weigh 247.6, or 97.4 pounds less than on March 1. That represents a 28.2% decrease in my weight.

This past week I stayed within my Weight Watchers Points Plus every day, and I worked out three times. I was a little concerned because I had a couple of days off work, and had lower daily activity, but I successfully managed that as well. I am feeling quite good this morning.

The picture above was taken last week while at a friend’s house carving pumpkins. The two lovely ladies in this picture weigh a combined 95 pounds or so. They represent all the weight I have shed since March 1. I will tell you that hoisting them up and holding them for the picture was no easy task. Hard to imagine that I used to carry that weight around with me 24 hours a day.

If you are a fan of challenges, keep tabs on this blog over the next few days. I am going to be announcing my next challenge. This one will be the most ambitious yet!
