    I would like to post a NSV. It is often difficult for me to accept complements about my weight loss. I received an application to the National Weight Control Registry, which was one of my goals. So I looked back at some of my previous pictures.

    Scary, I know. I actually had a nightmare Thursday night that I looked in the mirror at home and I looked like one of those pictures. It scared me.
    Back to the NSV. My wife has been trying to convince me that my current blue jeans are too big. Now realize I was wearing up to a size 50!! My current jeans are size 34 and she keeps saying they are too big.

    At my heaviest, I weighed 323 pounds! That would be in the top picture. My lowest was 208. At my high school graduation I weighed 205. In the bottom picture I weigh 222. That is my weight today. My goal is to stay 210-215 but at 220ish people stop asking if I am still losing weight. Which is fine by me. I can't wrap my mind around the fact that I need to be wearing 32's. I still feel like the fat guy in a smaller body. You guys help motivate me and encourage me to keep on working on it. It, I, we, are all works in progress. I remind myself daily, it is a marathon and not a sprint. We are after a lifestyle change and not just a diet. Being on a diet implies we will get off the diet eventually. I, for one, plan to keep on logging daily and exercising as often as I can. I want to achieve a multi-thousand day streak and if I don't just start another. I am totally committed and plan to stay that way.

    Sorry about the long rant. I just had to get it off my chest. Now off to do some aerobics.

    Week 1
    Saturday (I'm late! Sorrrryyyy!)
    Starting Weight: 136.0
    Current Weight: 137.5

    First off, apologies to the captains and moderators for the tardiness - I didn't get to log my starting weight since I was away on a tour, had no access to a scale, and, honestly, totally forgot about checking in. I also missed my Saturday weigh-in thinking I'll do it before the end of the day but then got caught up in the annual day festivities at my preschooler's school.

    Finally, apologies to the team for the gain. My exercise regimen has been off key for several weeks now due to intermittent travel and house guests. Naturally, food has not been on point either. My body seems to want to sleep in even though my mind says I need to go work out. I finally fell out of the stupor last week and have reversed about 2 lb of intra-week gain. I vow to keep it up.

    Have another long weekend trip coming up this Saturday. Need to persevere...

    @melissafeagins , @Navydaddjtc I noticed that my name doesn't figure on the Feb spreadsheet. I didn't weigh-in for two weeks straight, so I'll understand if I've been taken off the team. But if there's a chance you can put me back on, then I'd really love to stay with this wonderful group!

    Checking in to apologize for my absence today. I'm having IT issues at work and I have a nauseating headache. I will check weigh-ins when I get home.
