Update #3

Today was weigh-in day and I am happy to report that I weighed in at 202.5 lbs, down 2 lbs from the previous week.  My goal was to drop 4.5 lbs this past week; however, I received several comments indicating that losing that much weight in one week wasn't healthy.  I took that advice to heart and made sure to keep my weight loss at a safe level.  To that end, I went to Dairy Queen on Friday night after the GCM football game and had a foot-long cheese coney, large tater tots and a large vanilla Coke.  To top it off, I had an ice cream cone dipped in chocolate (that kind that gets hard when it hits the ice cream)!  Thank you Mr. Dairy Queen Ice Cream Man!  By the way, many of you have asked for me to post my "Before" picture so here it is!

I'll be posting my next update next Thursday so stay tuned...with a little luck and some hard work I should be right at or a little under 200 lbs.
