Today’s Weigh-In: 337.8 pounds
Total Weight Lost: 102.2 pounds
Days Till Next Mini-Goal: 29
Next Mini-Goal Weight: 330
Pounds To Go: 7.8

Now with the 100 pound mark officially met, I need to take some time to think out my next set of goals. I had mentioned them yesterday, but as it turns out, today I get some news that changes what I was planning on.

I had originally planned on being 299 pounds or less by the first of the year, but I’ve gotten word that my sister and her fiancé have set their wedding date (officially, this time) for December 12th. Interesting – that’s almost four months away to the day. I can lose forty pounds between now and then!

Forty pounds is a pretty big chunk to tackle at one time (although it was the first goal I aimed for at the beginning of the year – I wanted to be under 400 pounds in time for my birthday in March). Fortunately, four months and forty pounds lends itself pretty easily to a ten pounds every month until December set of mini-goals. So, that’s what I’m aiming for.

First up, 330 pounds by September 12th. Following that, my mini goals will be 320 in October, 310 in November, and finally crossing the threshold into the upper 290s by my sister’s wedding on December 12th.

This won’t not happen.

Seductive Photos!

I’ve been self-taking photographs in the bathroom mirror to record my weight loss. Stupidly, I haven’t taken any from the side – and that’s where I suspect most of the dramatic weight loss can be seen (in the big gut and back flab regions). C’est la vie.If you want to see some less-than-flattering photos of me, you can click here.
