Success from failure

 Well I have failed. I failed at reaching my goal of loosing 15 pounds in 90 days. Day 90 came and I weighed myself and I had only lost 11 pounds. I guess that means I failed miserably. Wrong!  I am in the best shape I have been in in years. I feel great I look better. Despite not loosing all the weight I wanted to I did drop one pant size from tight fitting 38's to loose fitting 36's. I am buying larges instead of extra larges. My muscle tone is a lot better. Still no six pack but at least the Keg gone. I am starting another 90 day stint to get down to 200 pounds and then I'll work on the last ten. My long term goal is to get back to 190 which is where I was most of my Naval career. I also plan to get back into 34's for pants. I'll keep posting updates and milestones as they come. Thanks for all the support.

Right On

Stick with the PT and proper chow and you will be there in no time.  11 pounds in 90 days is very healthy weight loss I'd say you are kicking A**

NO MORE ..what was your phrase...

Stretch kaki's..?..  

 

LOL!! You are halliraous!!

 

: ) This is GREAT Doug!!  YAAAYY!!!!

 

 Congrats on the weight loss!!

11lbs. is FANTASTIC!!  You're on your way my friend Wink

 

I have the utmost confidence you'll be below 200# soon enough!

 

Keep up the GREAT WORK!!

 

Beck-

 

P.S. with it being the "New Year" you might be able to score a kick-ass deal w/a trainer at your local gym..

Way to be!  It is all you can do it just put in the work.  Sometimes our body does not play nice and follow what we say.  

 

Thats a great job though.  Changing your lifestyle and weight is something so very many people have problems sticking with for even a week, keep up the willpower and rock it out. 

congrats!

awesome job with the weight loss!

"To Fail Does Not Mean You're a Failure"

Great job on the weight loss, sir! 

duh...

 That is Sweet!!!

Food for thought

Remember that muscle is much more dense than fat.  It is quite possible that you are building muscle while burning fat and therefore aren't seeing the scale decrease as much as you want it to.  You should consider taking your body fat measurements.  It is a much better gauge.

Good job!

You got pretty darn close to your goal!!! My goal is 20 pounds in 90 days. I may not quite make that, but all we can do is our best! You'll get there!

great

great job man that is a lot of weight you should be proud of yourself. keep up the good work

Right On Times.

You are right Times. That was actually part of the point I wanted to make. Although after re-reading my post I didn't stress enough that Weight loss alone is a false indicator of what kind of shape you are in. the use of weight alone as a gage without thinking about the differance in Muscle and Fat is probablly the main reason people give up on working out. They don't take the whole picture into concideration. Most people don't realize they are starting to build muscle under the fat and the more muscle you build the more fat you will start to burn. However the Muscle usually builds before the fat starts burning. I gained three pounds in the first week before I started to loose anything. Thanks for the post so I could clear up those points.

Quick update.

It took me an extra week but I got to 210. That was my 15 lbs. Now on to 200 and below.
