Day 81 Extreme Accountability Challenge
Starting weight 304 pounds
Destination weight 175 pounds
Total weight loss to date 54.0 pounds
75.0 pounds to go
I don’t know why another 1/10 of a pound really matters, but to drop below 250 pounds is a pretty big deal. This accountability thing really works if you happen to be paying attention. While conventional wisdom says don’t weigh daily, our group of renegades is debunking that myth. I cannot speak for everyone else that is posting and part of the Extreme Accountability Challenge, but I credit this process with giving me the willpower to overcome the “head hunger” that has added over 100 pounds of fat in the last 35 years. I know that I have to face the scales daily and post them to Facebook. That’s a powerful appetite suppressant!
While I have probably lost over 1000 pounds, I have gained over 1300 pounds. The net result wasn’t good, and it was getting worse. This accountability is helping me stay the course, I’ve never lost over 50 pounds before, I’m in uncharted waters. My resolve is stronger today than when I started. 75 pounds to go, it will happen, 250 pounds, will be a distant memory, and I will be healthy and fit for life.
Bam!
Press forward.
175 pounds here I come!!!
