Twelve weeks ago I embarked on a friendly competition with colleagues at Skyway Software to lose 10 percent of our body weight in 12 weeks.  Although I didn't follow it word-for-word, I used the Body For Life as the general approach for reaching the goal.  I'm happy to report that at this morning's weigh-in at the gym (Carrillon Wellness Center), I exceeded my contest goal by a pound.  I originally wasn't sure if it was going to be possible.  I figured I could handle the aerobic exercises, but I thought the weight-lifting three times a week was going to be a real challenge.  Now it turns out I love the weight-lifting, but the aerobics not so much.

Starting Weight: 215 lb
Finishing Weight: 192 lb
Total Lost: 23 lb Cool

Over the last few months I have become so accustomed to the new lifestyle of exercising and eating properly that I can't possibly go back to my old ways. My personal goal is to reach and maintain 185 and continue body building using the regimine that I learned over the last 3 months.
