I'm thinking I need someone/something to check in to. So forgive me--I know these can be really annoying, but I'm going to check in with cougarguard. If you don't care, skip it, put me on ignore, whatever.
Right now, I weigh 209.8 (24.5 % BF according to my little impedance scale). By the Snow Canyon half-marathon on Nov 9, I'm going to weigh 190 (my weight on my wedding day), which amounts to about 1 lb/week.
Anyone else want to check in?

Ok...it's time to come out from my shameful hiding. Seattle was good to me. Too good. I refused to weigh in until yesterday and I'm at 200.6. I guess it could have been worse; two bad weeks used to put me in the 215 range.
So back on the wagon I go. I'm at 9.2 lbs total loss. 10 more lbs to go in a little under 9 weeks. I'm thinking 190 is going to be too skinny--my wife already thinks I'm getting too thin--but I would really like to see if I can run faster if unnaturally skinny.
