I took a couple of new pictures since I haven’t taken any since February and I’ve lost more weight since then.
I’m really not sure what I weigh in this picture. I think it is probably higher than 323, but I don’t know for sure. This picture was taken at a wedding in 2007.
This one was taken at a pre-wedding party in 2007.
This picture was taken yesterday. I just wish the lighting had been a touch better so you could really see my mutant white hands from wearing biking gloves. 😀
The obligatory belt picture. Just about 18 inches from the belt hole I used to use to the one I now use. About 137 plus pounds gone from the top pictures to the bottom pictures.
Weight Statistics
323/181.7/173
Hmmm. I’m a bit surprised by that drop. I guess the phantom weight gain disappeared but now we have a bit of a phantom weight loss. I wasn’t expecting a drop after my FRIED SHRIMP POBOY FEAST. 😛
Yesterday’s Meal Plan
Breakfast – None
Lunch – Over stuffed fried shrimp poboy
Dinner – None
Snack – None
Calories – 1500
I am not sure if I heard angel trumpets or devil trombones but the chorus was singing hallelujah as I ate the shrimp poboy. It was fantastic. Who knew fried food tasted so good? 😛
Skipped meals the rest of the day but in truth the poboy was huge and had almost as many shrimp off the bread as on the bread so I really wasn’t the least bit hungry last night.
I’m still thirsty from the salt which is why I expected at minimum a water gain today. Speaking of water……
IT RAINED!!! Yesterday afternoon is was looking gloomy and it actually rained. I got a rain day and a shrimp poboy all in one day. 😀
Biking Update
Rain day!!!

Tip Of The Day
Take a vacation.
One of my dear readers came up with this tip and I am going to try it out.
The bike and the wind have been causing me all sorts of misery so I am going to take a week off. Not sure when. I’ll probably wait for July when the heat starts to melt the asphalt but at some point in July, I am going to take a full week off from the bike ride.
Similar to knowing you can cheat on the diet, thus making it easier to hold on to your sanity, I think knowing I can take a week off from the bike will somehow make it a little easier to hit the levee.
Oh, Shonnie gave me the vacation idea. Here is her site. http://diaryofanangryfatwoman.wordpress.com/
Good tip, thanks.
Happy dieting see you tomorrow and have a great weekend

What a transformation! Congrats!
Thank you. I’m actually pretty happy with the new pictures although my friends from the sports board are making fun of my jorts. 😛
Awesome results. I came across your blog searching for “happy scale” images. Congrats again!
Thanks. 😀
Aw, Grumpy! What a photo! Aren’t you proud of yourself and what you’ve accomplished?! ‘Cuz you *should* be!!! You look incredible! Oh boy, that’s a lot of shouting I’m doing…
And you *should* be doing the Snoopy Dance… a dance of completely exuberant joy!
wow that’s incredible! You look amazing! That belt picture is just brilliant lol
I love the belt. Some people throw their old clothes and belt away, but I like being able to see where I came from.
Those pictures are amazing!! Great job!
Thank you. 😀
What a great transformation! You must be very happy. I love the belt. Someday — when I get closer to goal — we should compare belts… Keep up the good work.
Thanks. I’m not sure my belt will be getting any new holes on it. Maybe one more and that will probably be the end of my diet. I might start doing some stomach exercises because it needs lots of work. 😀
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog – your pictures show such a great change – massive congrats.
Thank you very kindly. 😀
