Final Weigh In at Contest End

I began this contest at 241 pounds and end it at 224 pounds. That’s a total loss of 17 pounds. I probably could have lost more (I wanted to) but as of the last month I’ve been mostly maintaining. I really need to do a week or two of just lean meats and vegetables with no sugar, no wine or beer and no starches to shed a few more pounds. I may do that this week and if not, next week definitely as Small Business Marketing Unleashed is fast approaching.

Here are the beginning and ending scale shots.

Beginning Weight - February 1, 2008

Ending Weight - March 31, 2008 

So far, it appears that Scottie beat me overall at a total loss of 21 pounds. Congratulations, Scottie! It also appears that I won over all for the guys. Therefore the next process will be to allow people to vote between me and Scottie (unless we are not actually the winners for our classes) in which the winner’s charity of choice will received all the funds donated to this contents thus so far.

The contest was a fun way to lose weight. Many thanks to Donna Fontenot for putting this together and all the participants for posting on their success (or defeats).

Weight loss will not stop here for me. I need to continue on to get to my goals of 195 - 200 lbs. It may take a while but then again, I’ve been putting all this extra weight on for the last 10 years or so.
