The numbers keep moving in my favor. I just checked in at the scale and I’ve hit the two century mark. First time I’m at 200 pounds in quite some time. So I’ve lost my super sweet 16 pounds so far, and I have just five to go by Affiliate Summit.
I’ve got a few weeks to go, so I think I’ll hit my goal right on time.
A few days back, one of my daughters had a birthday party, and I wasn’t sure if that was going to doom my numbers for the week.
All the pizza, cake, cookies, etc. scattered around were tough to avoid. I stuffed my face with some California rolls before the party, but still got weak when it was clean-up time and the treats surrounded me.
Fortunately, since I’ve been following Weight Watchers otherwise and getting my exercise in, I didn’t take a hit from the junk on Saturday.
I mentioned last week that there would be some fitness walks mixed with networking during Affiliate Summit. That is still planned, so keep your eyes on future affiliate fatblogging posts for more details.
Starting weight: 216
Current weight: 200

Hi Franklin -
Thanks for the suggestions – I’m afraid that’s not really practical for me.
Long work days and time with wife and four kids makes three hours of exercise per day impossible.
I’ve been happy with my progress so far using the combination of cardio in the gym, healthy diet and lots of water.
Now if only I could stop working at 11:50 each night, because I get midnight snack cravings.
Hey Shawn – I saw the “fatblogging” thing and I thought it was about some new web 2.0 thing, but now I realize you are talking about weight. I was at 216 in 2004, but in 2 years I got it down to 185. I have been at that weight since then, and seem to be able to maintain it well. How did I do it?
I did it by walking a lot. Just walking, and perhaps just cutting down on snacks like you describe in the birthday post, but I still have some pepsi and crackers with cheese when I watch the sports and stuff.
I recommend that you take the ipod, strap the notebook into the back pack, and hook up all the stuff, and walk while you talk to people. Walk all over the place for a minimum of 3 hours every day.
Oh, it helps to have a job at UPS, but that is just a small inconvenience. Just pretend you are delivering packages! After the first few days, strap some weights on to the legs and wrists. This provides extra calorie burning benefits. (I just carry packages)
Weight watchers is great so I hear, and I wish you well, but I really recommend the walking thing. It works.
