Geez! This whole diet and exercise thing has something going for it. Having been on the plan for less than a week and dropped 3-ish pounds, I can see why those crazys on morning talk shows have been going over this for years! Amazing! My first official weigh-in is on Sunday, I’ll probably have to lose a couple of points on the Weight Watchers scale, which will be a difficult thing to do. I have been really restricted in my calories, but one point shouldn’t be too bad.

Hooray for me!

I have been very diligent since Sunday. I have done a good job of keeping my Weight Watchers points in check and worked out on Monday. A solid 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. I stepped on the scale this morning and I don’t want to jinx myself, but the display read 190. I don’t think I’ve really lost 2 pounds over 3 days, but it’s definitely progress.

Apparently fatblogging is become a bit of a trend.

Jason Calacanis and Wil Harris have started blogging about their weight loss efforts. Wil Harris even registered fatblogging.com (link to come when it goes live… if it does).

I write this not to keep you up to date on the latest Calacanis schtick. I personally can’t stand him. I write this to start my own fatblogging/fitness/weight loss journal. I have a new category and will be posting every week what my progress has been.

The Plan

I weight 192 right now and ideally I would love to weight 160. Thats a total loss of 32 pounds. Now that Valentines day is over it should be easier because people won’t be bringing food into the office as much.

Esther and I bought an elliptical machine about 4 months ago and the usage has been spotty at best. I will be working out on it at least 3 days during the work week, and 1 day during the weekend.

Esther has recently started on WeightWatchers, and as much as I hate logging points, it really worked to keep me in line. I plan on doing the WeightWatchers thing to control my diet.
