Malreported By Unpersons
Day 12. Weight (this morning) – 274 lbs. 1839 calories consumed; 621 calories burned on elliptical trainer and weights. Marty Yawnick – you guys know him, right? – posted this Op/Ed article from the Blogs section of the New York Times site earlier today, knowing it would make my head explode. The headline alone is [...]
Motivation
The first unsolicited compliment came a lot sooner than I had expected. I’ve only lost five pounds since I started doing daily weigh-ins last Sunday, and there’s no discernible difference in my appearance. At least, that’s what I thought.

Day Four
Weight, this morning: 278 lbs. Consumed 1516 calories; burned 567 on the elliptical (30 minutes). Still not dead. Along with Manda and me, there was a woman in her early thirties workgin out in the gym as well. So, I put to you, people who are skinnier than I: when you see someone working out [...]
