Well losing about 20-25 pounds (of mostly fat) in the year before my wedding definitely had the intended effect of receiving positive comments from friends and family. I secretly had the intent of not just being able to lose weight, but wanting to help others lose weight too. There’s no reason to suffer through anything if you can’t use it to better yourself or others later.

Since I’ve met my current goal (160 by wedding), I think I’m going to have a new goal, and I’ll use this opportunity to walk people through the way I lost weight — sort of. I took a lot of liberties with my daily diet, and I don’t recommend that others do the same. I do recommend that people write down any drastic changes that they might be contemplating and their desired goals and discuss them with their doctor or other qualified professional. Everything that I mention in this blog is purely anecdotal and should not be construed as best dietary practices. (more…)

160 pounds.

That was my goal weight for my wedding date, and I made it. There’s been a lot of interested parties as to how I lost my weight, apparently it’s visibly noticable. My pants are much looser too. And of course, I feel lighter.

As to what I did, it’s not all to different than Jeremy’s approach. Although I knew I didn’t want to rigidly count calories. After the wedding, I’ll try to concisely reveal what it is I did to lose weight, since a lot of friends and family have asked.

As for the wedding, things are coming together, and I am very excited. It’ll be a blast. A lavish blast, but still a blast. Katie and I can’t wait to see all of you who are coming in town.
