"He's a Disgusting Pig Monster, I bet he eats 1,000 pancakes for breakfast!" Here I am at 283.5lbs and I feel like crap. I'm wearing my uniform trousers and every day when I go to work, I feel like I'm a stuffed sausage.

273.0lbs Not the jeans I'm wearing, but a pair I own that is a size smaller, fit me one year ago. I feel a little better after losing 10lbs.

268lbs. 15lbs down in 14 days. Feeling slightly less disgusting.

262.5lbs means 21lbs down in my first three weeks. I was surprised when I got on the scale today, I didn't think I lost anything. But, no reason to back off!

260lbs. 2.5lbs down from last week. Damn, weightloss has slowed, time to kick it into overdrive! I didn't have to 'suck in' today to get these trousers on.

255lbs. I made a few adjustments, did a little more cardio and got back on the right track. Same pose, different hotel room. Took this pic while on the road in Costa Mesa, no newspaper. Failed my Air Force PT test today. I'm not any more or less tan then my first day... I just don't understand lighting and self-photography. Clearly I need to hire a pro for my 'Afters'.

250.5lbs. 33lbs down from July 1st. Not bad for six weeks. Pic on the left: In the same trousers as in my July 1 pic. Pic on the right: Squeezing into the pants of my service dress uniform... I need to get into these... Goals: Smaller waist, slimmer thighs, and no muffin top! I'm sure I can make 235 by 20 OCT 07.

I broke the 250 milemark... but I only lost a pound in the last week & I'm pissed off at myself.

Back on track. Feelin' good. 8 weeks down, 8 to go. Need to make a vLog on my next day off.

I have lost 42.5lbs in 9 weeks. The beanie may look thugish, I'm not. I'm feeling a little depressed today, it has nothing to do with my progress, goals, routines, or workouts. I remembered her this morning and all I feel like doing is laying in bed in the fetal position. I will write a blog about it later after work.

No change in weight this week, but I'm not pissed like I was the week I only lost 1.5lbs because I was not as strict as I have been in previous weeks. 6 weeks to go. On the road in Newport Beach this weekend... No newspaper... Different hotel room.

I'm starting to feel like my arms are getting to small, but at least my love handles are going away. I can wear clothes that didn't fit me 5 months ago, that's got to count for something. I figure it's time to start tanning, if I want to have decent 'after' pics.

I'm thinking this will be the last progress I post until my afters. Time to tan and shine!

It just wouldn't be a Saturday without a prgoress pic. I'm down 51.5lbs in 13 short weeks. I feel like I've been babtised by the infferno.

So... I gained a pound. Still down 50lbs from my start date of July 1. At this point I think I can accept it as adjusting to my bodyweight, no reason to stray from my plan. I'm two weeks out!

Nothing to say but, "One week to go!"

283.5-218 = 65. 65 pounds lost in 16 weeks druing the 2007 INSTONE lifechangeCHALLENGE. Now, to maintain for 12 weeks, focus on my midsection, and think about growing in 2008.

Now begins the quest for a washboard, I go to my labor! Not bad for the morning after a wild party! But hey, after 16 weeks of seriousness, one night of 'letting my hair down' was totally worth it. I'll have a blog with pics up about it soon, still have some other stuff to finish and post first.

Different state, different scale, tri-pod's borken, been on the road for six days. It all adds up. It's good to be back in Tahoe for a while.

In need of a new tri-pod. On the road all day, did not hit the scale.

I'm a little overweight and my log book is way behind. Goals of today... 1. Get on the scale. 2. Work out 3. Cook meals for next four days. 4. Catch up on my bodyblogs & personal journal. 5. Hang out with a latina.

The 'shave out' really does help! Still, a little heavier than I'd like to be.

I'm just about 20lbs up from my weight on 25OCT07. I realize my body weight is coming back up, I'm relaxing a little to much, and it's time to get back on the chase. My goal for the next week to to 'test run' a program based mostly on ab work and developing good form in basic muscle building motions.

Not happy with myself today.

Back in my pad, changed to a black background because my place was repainted and the white just didn't look good with it. Yes, I know my skin is rather pale, and I like it!

I'm still upset with myself, had a good workout today. Got a new vLog up, check it out!

Last pic for 2007. Feeling good about last week's w/o, food intake, ect. I need to get a little more sleep at night. Lost 3.5 lbs desite X-mas. I need to kick the cold!

Only down 1lb from last week, but I feel like I'm 'tighter' from last week's pic. Not bad, now I need to zero in on the diet. I't all coming together, again! Had to bust out these old trousers to remind myself how far I've come.

No weight change over the week. Pic on the road. Feeling good, one more week until I'm back on Midnight Shifts, awesome.

Social commitments are over for a while. Back on track! Getting back on Inferno on Tuesday. Next vLog: Weekend of Feb 2-3, along with next bodyfat test & Circumfrence Measure.

Haven't been in the gym for three days (sick) but in this pic it doesn't look like it's affected my body/progress that much. I'll able to re-set next week, need to shave out!

Starting pic for my next project: The Recomp. Contest 2008, run through the forums on this website. I know, I need a haircut. 243.2lbs - Heading in a piggy direction, this is just what I need to resume the chase. Back in the gym 2/3, and back with a vengeance!

13 pounds down in my first week back in the saddle! 242.8 to 229.8 Looks like I'm making good progress.

No weight change...? I'm back at that point where I feel like an idiot with my self timer and I can't capture the same pump in the gym with my digicam back home. I'm thinking about it too much! Time for a week break from bodyspace.

Looks a little better. I'm content with this week's progress!

Official Progress pics for Recomp Contest - 260 lbs... Fat! Starting to cut.

Cutting Again, Weekly Pics are Back!

Back for more!

Back up to 261.6lbs. A little heavy for me. I am aiming at getting to 235 by the end of the year.

Friday the 24th I benched 365x1 and dead lifted 585x1. Today I weighed in at 253.8. Hopefully I can maintain my strength on the way down to 235.

I think the look on my face says it all.

I feel like I've made some progress in the past few weeks but I don't feel like I weigh 250.

Not much to say today.
