First weigh in was this morning. Current weight 277. DOWN SEVEN POUNDS BAYBEEEE. I'm not going to post my weight every week (too much fodder for the Bski ). But I had to tell somebody. Talking to myself (Ricki is not coming home until next Monday) although extremely interesting at times is just too much work. I can be very argumentative with myself at times and "Knock-Knock" jokes just don't have the same punch when told to yourself.

Bob,
I kinda lurk here but I'm in for $1/lb. Its great to see people inspired to lose weight. I skimmed thru this thread and its great that you have a plan to spread out meals and snacks. Thats the best way to jump start and maintain you metabolism. When I was working out that was one of the most important aspects of my plan. For those that don't want to go to a weight-loss club or anything liek that the formula I used was I took my weight x it by 10, then divide that number by 6. The number you come up with is the amount of calories each snack you eat should be (max). It will be tough to do but if you are awake for 16 hours a day that gives you roughly a meal per 2.5 hrs so after a week or two your stomach wont be as loud in between meals.
As for works out I concentrated on full body workout. If you can do squat with a press at the end or even just super set your weight lifting (minimizing resting periods) that will help kick up the metabolism as well. Still work in cardio, but you have to remember that muscle burns more calories that fat and chicks dig muscles :).
Best of luck to everyone
Forgot: If your legs are strong enough to lift some weights without straining yourselves give that a go. Because the legs are one of the largest muscles, working them burns quite a bit of calories and will help with your mobility. Just be sure to stretch before and after you work out, whether it be running or lifting. Also drink water as you don't want to bust your butt and go down with dehydration only to put yourself out of commission for not staying properly hydrated

Well gang, got off the road long enough to head in to Medifast today and check progress. Down 48 pounds since April 1! four-eight...forty eight! Get ready to break out the checkbook! You should see ewest, too. Was with him last week. That boy has shed 20-30 pounds himself! He looks great. Eric, wrestling with a 3+ pound smallmouth in Canada last week. He and I both need to buy new clothes. We decided to wait until we are down to our maintenance weights. For now, at least one of us will look like Omar the Tentmaker made his clothes. Well, here I am, tonight! With a July 15 deadline, I've got time to lose another 20, 25 pounds. Let's see, if another 20 comes off, that would put me at 248. Hmmm...maybe shoot for 235? Probably won't make it by July 15, but that's just the deadline for you guys to put another fisheries student through SDSU. Seriously, I appreciate all the support and friendly emails and phone calls. Plus, it's really cool to hear about all the different people accepting the un-challenge and losing weight themselves. Let's do it!

Okay kids! Stepped on the scale yesterday.....258 pounds! That means, since April 1, the Pond Boss has lost 58 pounds. Let's write some checks..... Thanks for the support. Still doing Medifast, the new goal is 240 by the end of August and then we'll evaluate. Maybe stop there, maybe not. Our bookkeeper, Diane, will be sending a check tomorrow. Congratulations to everyone who has also accepted this challenge. Eric, Nate, JHAP and all the others. You can do it! Hey Dave Willis, is the address below where you want the dollars sent? Jesse W.
