In the words of the immortal Johnny Drama...Victory!
I was a little nervous about this morning's weigh-in, because I did a stupid thing and checked my weight last night. Whoo boy, that was not good. It was basically the same weight as last week. I was flabbergasted...I ate under my points target the entire week, I worked out 6 out of 7 days, and I didn't lose?
But this is why I need to weigh myself at the same time every week. The morning came, and all was right in the world...I was down 3.9 lbs. to be at a weight of 301.3 lbs. Good thing too...I probably would have gathered all the fat people in the world and started an uprising against God to demand an answer to why I didn't lose any weight. I'm glad it didn't come to that.
I had a little mini-celebration by going to the British Beer Company for dinner with the wifey. I ate less than I normally do there, but it was a lot compared to my dinners over the past couple weeks, and I felt so full that my stomach almost went Boom Boom Pow. It's OK though...I needed some sort of mini-reward. Besides, I basically ate a cardboard sandwich for lunch.
My friend Rich sent me a great link to the Couch-to-5K Running Plan at the Cool Running website. This is exactly the plan that I'm going to follow once I'm ready to run on a regular basis. Cool Running has lots of other great articles and a gigantic amount of race listings, so I'm sure I'll be checking there regularly in the future.
Onward to Weigh-In Day #2...hopefully next week, my weight scale and I will hug it out.

Congrats! That's a big loss. I weigh in Thursday, I'm hoping to lose even a tiny bit.
I'm in on the Fat Person Uprising if it ever comes to that.
Congrats Scotty! Keep up the good work! :) ~This is your wifey by the way.
Thank you to the both of you!
Jackie: Good luck with the upcoming weigh-in! I'm sure it will be splendid. :-)
Scott, Jon Golden here.
Technological solecisms (pun*) aside, I'm happy for you.
Good luck in all your weight loss endeavors.
In all seriousness, I am undertaking a similar quest. I got rejected from the military (temporarily) because I am too fat (or euphemistically, my body fat percentage is too high). Whereas you wish to lose weight so you can run a marathon, I wish to do so so I can kill (not really, I'm going into a soft school MOS).
Let me know if you ever want to go for an early morning run.
*pun = I used a word that means "to use a word incorrectly" incorrectly. Me=awesome.
