This morning I weighed 288.6 lbs. This is a 2.8 lb. loss this week for a total of 91.4 lbs. lost. My Fat ratio is 29.6%. I measured wrong last week, so this is up from last week. Last week's should have been 29.6% as well. With this percent, I have 203.2 lbs. of lean mass and 85.4 lbs. of fat mass. My waist remain 52.5 inches.Getting below 290 is a big deal for me. This means that I have less than 100 pounds to go.The ticker at the top finally is counting in double digits instead of triple digits. Also, I have a few milestones coming up soon. When I hit 285, that will mark the half-way point as far a weight loss goes. Then at 280, I will have lost 100 lbs. Then at 272 I will reach the point of obesity without qualifiers. 45+ super obese, 40-45 morbidly obese, 35-40 severely obese, 30-35 obese, 25-30 over weight, 20-25 healthy.
The weight loss is a significant factor in my fitness. It is encouraging to see the weight go. However, it is one component in my overall journey of fitness. My fitness through exercise is a huge component in this journey. I am six weeks away from running in a race. I am certain that I will be the fattest guy there running, but I don't care. I still want to do it. This has been great motivation to keep going on my running program.
Another motivation has been the president's fitness challenge. In fact, I just earned a silver medal in the president's champions category. I will earn the gold by the year's end or shortly thereafter.Thoughts are mightier than strength of hand -- Sophocles

Congratulations on achieving this momentous milestone!
You are doing well!!!! Don't worry about being the fattest guy there running - delight in the fact that you are there and that you ARE running!
Congratulations on milestones reached and within reach. I did a rare laugh out loud with your cartoon.
Like I said before. You ROCK!!! That's amazing! Throws confetti your way!!!
It's great to see the BMI numbers drop!
:D
Wow! What an amazing achievement. You're such an inspiration! I have the same sort of weight to lose than you do and I'm only just getting started.
Congratulations!
Good work Half-Man! Soon you will be 75 pounds away, and then 50!!
Thank you so much for posting about your success and motivations! I'm going to bookmark your blog, because I know it will be inspiring for me to read on my own weight loss journey. (I have 22 lb to go before I reach my goal.) Blessings and graces to you!
Congratulations on your success! I'm working on the President's Challenge as well, and it's really helped me to stay active. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover the Platinum level, because I was wondering if I was going to have to start over or find another contest/challenge. Running has been a way to help me stay motivated too; it's fun to have new road races to chart my progress.
Stay strong during the holidays! You're doing splendidly!
