Wii Weight!

So, last year, despite diet attempts, my weight was topping out at 250-260. I have pictures, but I won't post them. You're welcome. After Thanksgiving I decided to set a goal and get a big prize if I obtained it. The conditions were that I had to get to 215 lbs and stay there for at least a month. Long story short, I did it! Here's a picture of me, sucking it in to symbolically show how much I'd lost, about to open my prize... what could it be???

My sweetie made a big deal of my accomplishment and threw a party with all of my balloon friends shown above (it was an inpromptu party and my real live friends weren't able to make it, so we named the balloons after them, see if you can identify yours!). Nicole even got me candles and put them on (low-fat) ice-cream (see below). For those of you who are terribly observant, you might ask if they ran out of 2's at the store. The answer's "no" we just usually only pay attention to the last two digits of my weight and Nicole's used to her own weight range being in the hundreds... Bless her heart.

Look! It's a Wii! My next goal is to finish my thesis so I can have time to actually play it!

  1. I'm caught between envy and pleasure at your excellent and difficult accomplishment! That was an awesome way to celebrate a hard-earned victory. (I know, I've been trying to lost weight for 14 months now.) Maybe, if I plana party and a prize I'll actually do it! What worked for you?

  2. Great Job Brent! I hope to take some inspiration from you. I am walking home from the office(now that it is nice weather) and an Elder left his bike and I get to use it. Out of 24 gears 2 work but the wheels go round and the peddles turn so I'm in business.
    Love ya,
    Mom

  3. Congratulations! I like the figurative friend balloons. That's awesome.

    (TIP: Lego Star Wars on the Wii is freakin AWESOME)
