Blubber Update
I'll be too busy tomorrow (2 months on Nutrisystem) to post---Yard Sale for the Marine Corps League in the morning, and a trip to Sparta,NC (about 2.5 hours away) for a MCL Charter Presentation ceremony to a new Detachment in the late afternoon.
Starting Weight--349.6lbs on March 10
09 May @ 0700--313 lbs.
Lost 36.6 lbs in 59 days, or a little over a half a pound a day.
63 Lbs to go to short term Goal weight of 250
128 to get to Marine Corps Max weight of 185.
Still a "disgusting fat body" as any Marine DI would attest. But I've reached the point where I need to put more holes in belts, and I need a new pair of black trousers for my MCL uniform, they're getting way too big! I've not been able to put in the exercise I needed to this week, but I'll be back at it next week. After I get my last shipment of Nutrisystem this month, I need to send back the indedible stuff that they send (you get to request your 28 day supply, but the free week they pick for you), I'll have about another 6-7 weeks on the program.
With that I should be able to get under 300, and hopefully down to 285. That would put me at 100lbs overweight by USMC standards. Another 85 lbs and I should be able to get into my Navy uniform, which my wife thinks is impossible, but she's pullin for me.

Wow, hank! It's taken me about a year and I'm still a couple lbs. shy of my 30-lb goal. 36 lbs in 2 months is awesome!

Hank, does this mean you'll be providing us with a new picture for the About Us page? Ben keeps promising to send one, but I think he's worried it won't fit. He's even tried losing some weight so he could squeeze in. But if you send a picture of the new you, I think Ben's pic will fit.
Seriously, that's great work, Hank.

Ben--it takes a lot of long ago (wish to be) forgotten discipline to do this. But I've learned a lot along the way.
When I give a final (out of Nutrisystem food) update, I'll share some of it.
One of my co-workers is a "big girl"--in other words no matter how thin she gets, she'll never be petite. She's lost 30 lbs in a year, and was quite proud of it until I lost 30 lbs in less than 2 months. She has the money to do what I did, just not the internal discipline. But you can see the 30lbs difference on her just like you can on me.
