23 pounds

Slow The Rising Weight

I know the feeling Jimmy … welcome to my world.  No offense, but what took you 2 years to figure out, I figured out in about 2 months.

Ever since I lost 180 pounds on the Atkins diet in 2004, it seems I have reached a point where my weight just refuses to go down beyond a certain point. I’ve been okay with this for over two years, but I believe now it’s time for me to act.

Looks like somebody set the bar to low.  I hit my thirteen month weight loss goal of losing 23 pounds in just 6 months.  I could have been happy with the results, but I realize that doesn’t do me any good.  If I don’t have to stretch myself (in hindsight, losing 23 pounds seems relatively easy because of all the small little things I did to accomplish my weight loss goal), then I’ll likely slip back to my old ways.

On the other hand, if I have to work hard to accomplish my goal, then it is unlikely I will undo all of my hard work.

I realize that it isn’t the most “friendly” line of thinking, but it is what works for me.  So Jimmy, my hats off to your Kimkins journey and your public commitment to:

“I fully EXPECT to lose at least 50 pounds quite possibly by this Fall.”

Don’t worry, I’ll be watching for your results.
