That was the day I got married to Shelly. I weighed 206 that day and do today as well. I didn't break the 200 barrier as planned but am very happy with my progress (it's getting really hard for me now). I am still looking to get down to 180 and maintain under 190 for the rest of my life, so I still have a lot of work to do. My desire to loose weight took shape around my 19th wedding anniversary early in December. At some point near the middle of that month I peaked at 256 pounds. I desprately did not want to break 260 and started to cut back on my consumption. Eventually I started counting calories, and moved on to working out (mostly cardio).My starting weight for the Tolman Tubbies Project was 238 and I am now at 206 (13.45%). I am going to focus this week on maintaining and next week I plan on begining a regular exercise program of cardio and strength training. I really have no idea when I will get to 180 - it's just going to have to happen when it happens. I can not make it come any quicker. I am not willing to cut my calories any more because I dont want to starve myself and I only have so much time for exercise.
Overall I am down 50 Pounds !! ( 19.53% ) and it feels great- I sleep better 
and I am definately more comforatable over all. Thanks for all your support. It has been very helpful to be working with a group on this effort. I pray you all find continued success in working towards a more healthy you.

I've got him by 13 pounds right now. ;)
Well I have lost 25 lbs since the Tolman Tubbies Challenge. That is 8.62%. I could have done better, but I am happy with my progress. Since I started losing weight in late July I have lost 47 lbs or 15.64%. I still have at least another 45 lbs. Good job everyone.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you! You worked hard and your effort definitely shows! You are lookin' good! Love you
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Scott you look awesome!! I am so proud of our family we are doing good and loosing the weight. As with Shelly it took me awhile to get started but I finally feel that I have a handle on my eating, I still need to work on my exercise. I have lost a total of 9.8 pounds this is from where I have gained weight so I am going from that mark. At this point we need to determine who is in first and who is in second and give our money accordinly. If everyone would e-mail me there weight loss and percentatge I will figure it out and announce the winners. My e-mail is amy.tolman@utah.edu. Love you all!!
