25 pounds down since the end of January 2013 (when I started keeping track). My intensity and drive wavered throughout the year. Sometimes I was on, other times not. My goal is another 20-25 down (bringing me to 150 +/-) by June when I'll be starting my firefighter training. (The way I figure it, those 50ish pounds I will…

I've already had to buy a new dress belt, a while ago. I'd moved up enough holes and had been in one of the looser holes for so long that the belt didn't lie flat any more but was instead lumpy on the loose end.

I ran a few more times after that, hoping that that would push me into getting into shape and losing the ~50 pounds I needed to lose. It did not.…

I use Endomondo and a heartrate monitor while doing DDPYoga. In Endomondo, I track it as just "yoga". I'm not sure if that's right or not. If I had to guess, I'd say that calling it "just" yoga undercounts the calories burned. So be it, though. I'm averaging about 220 calories burned in the Fat Burner regimen. Since burn…
