And the results are in. Without any sort of work out in the last two weeks, I'm still down to 238 pounds. That's thirteen pounds away from the magic number!
On the Wii Fit game, I broke under the 30.0 Body Mass Index (BMI), which separates Obese (30+) from Overweight (25 to 29.99 I think). It makes a different sound when you're just overweight instead of obese!
Hoping to get back on track with working out this week. Need to work on toning and making things cleaner!

It's been Two Weeks
But I'm still going! Today, after our first football game, I weighed in at 241 pounds. That's freaking awesome! I set my new goal on Wii Fit to 225 pounds. Since the Wii only allows you to set weight goals on 22 pounds or less, this is the first time I have been able to have my goal in sight. Based on this, I only have to lose another 16 pounds!!!
This morning at morning rehearsal, I noticed my XXL MSU shirt looked like a dress, so I tucked it in. I showed a friend my pants and how far out they come from my belly. It felt amazing...
The weather is getting cold here. I like it. It's going to make going outside more challenging, especially to exercise.

3 months in...
On June 14, I started training for my 5k.
Three months later, I'm down to 248 pounds. It feels great to lose that much weight. Less than 25 pounds left to go to hit my goal! My new goal is to run the stadium stairs in order to keep working out.

Keeping Up Progress
After a week of school where I had very little time to work out or to engage myself in anything strenuous... I still lost three pounds! I'm down to 255 according to Wii Fit (and down to 254 on the Biggest Loser). I've lost 40 pounds since June 14 (3 months)!!!
This week, I've determined to start interval training in between my afternoon ensemble and marching band. I'll go to marching band all sweaty and in gym shorts (which I don't like)... but I'll keep going until I get to 225 (just 30 pounds!).

Good progress
I weighed myself on Thursday. I'm down to 258 pounds. My clothes fit wonderfully and I feel good. I am no longer running (at least long distance) since it put such a wear on my knees. I'm going to try to use the Interval Training to try and increase my weight loss.
I thought about it... If I weigh 258 now and started off around 296 or 300, then that means I've lost about 38 to 42 pounds since June 14 (around 11 weeks). I only have 33 pounds to lose before I'm at my target weight. It's going to be hard to keep up a good workout routine, especially with school. But dang it, I'm going to try!

Two Weeks Late
So last week, I weighed in after a good week of running 25 minutes for three days at 274.
This week, I have done the following runs:
Walk 5 minutes
Jog 28 minutes
Walk 5 minutes
On Monday, I astounded myself. I completed six laps in 14 minutes, right at the halfway point. I ran 10 laps in 23:45. I ran 12 laps in 28:32, about one hundreds yards short at the end of 28 minutes. Needless to say, I was very happy.
On Tuesday, Leah and I went to the Ozark Empire Fair. It was fun, but extremely hot. I ended up eating about half of a huge funnel cake coated in powdered sugar (Ugh!) and a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Overall, I was proud of what I ate.
On Wednesday, I discovered that the funnel cake was probably not best. I felt very heavy, very energy drained, and worn out during my run. I really wanted to quit halfway through, but I kept going, only being about fifty yards short of 6 laps at the halfway mark. I completed eleven laps in 28:00 minutes. I was discouraged but okay with the results.
Today, I weighed in at 269. I have beaten the 270 mark! Hopefully I will be able to add intervals to my workout next week to see if I can push the weight loss.
One problem I haven't tackled or consider is the band camp that is coming up in two weeks, considering that will be almost all day. Or the fact that school starts in three weeks. That will knock out my early morning running time. But I shall prevail!
Thinking about adding a picture next week...
