BWL - Final Results 2012 (I AM the biggest loser!)

The results were not sent out until 4:45 PM today.  I took the top spot with 32.6 lbs. lost (11.41% of my starting weight).  My team lost a total of 66 lbs. Nearly half of that was mine. As a group, the 20 of us lost 165.4 lbs!  I'll be picking up my winnings in the morning. Thanks go out to my teammates for doing such a great job, too!

There's talk of starting another round of the contest in another week or two.  I'd be in--my next goal weight is 235 lbs.

BWL - Week 11 Results

Well, there's only one more week to go.  Here are the standings as of week 11. It looks like my team is guaranteed a top-two finish (likely the #1 position).  On the individual side, it will still be close.  I will likely stay in the top three, but don't know whether or not I will be the Biggest Loser.

I do want to note that, in addition to having already lost over 30 lbs., I've also dropped more than four inches from my waist. I was able to try on jeans in a retail store last evening for the first time in over 15 years.

Early weigh-in

Well, first of all, I did not starve myself this past week.  I had a bit to eat on Tuesday night (the first night of the fast), because my blood sugar went low.  After that, I reduced one of my diabetes medications and got through the rest of the week through Saturday.  That day had a pretty normal amount of consumption, but then I went back to a very limited intake on Sunday.

The result? Down 9.8 lbs. this week.  I'm in the 250s for the first time since who knows when!  I'm at 255.2 lbs.--that's 30.4 lbs. lost since the start of the competition!

I weighed in early because I have the day off tomorrow.  I'll post the official results for the week sometime on Wednesday.
