Weight Loss....

I started Monday March 19th, 2007 after weighing in at 290 lbs... yep I was huge I had gained like 40 lbs since high school and I was fat back then too, which makes since because I have always been fat. Anyway I decided I need to lose some weight because I never wanted to get up to 300 lbs, so I made up my own weightloss plan I guess and have stuck with it for the last 8 months. On the way I have changed my end goals numerous times as I have succeeded much better than I even hoped for at the beginning. My final goal has been 180 though for a long time and I have finally reached it!

Anyway the numbers (I didn't keep good records at the start, I wish I had now though)

Weight
March 19th - 290
May 1st - 252
July 1st - 238
July 8th - 234
July 15th - 231
July 22nd - 229.5
July 29th - 223
August 1st - 222.5
August 12th - 219
August 19th - 215
September 1st - 207.5
September 22nd - 197.5
October 9th - 190
November 4th - 183
November 21st - 179


Now a fun little thing I used to figure stuff out....

1 lb = 3500 calories

So 110 lbs of weight loss = 385,000 calories which is....

546.875 Big Mac's
-or-
2750 cans of Coke - which is - 257.8125 gallons
-or-
5065.7894736842105263157894736842 large heads of lettuce
-or-
1833.33333333333333333333 soft tacos from Taco Bell
-or-
381.188118811881188118811 Large Oreo Blizzards from Dairy Queen
-or-
3208.33333333 cups of 2% milk - which is - 200.520833333 gallons of milk
-or-
4812.5 gallons of sugar-free kool-aid
-or-

This is one of my current favorite songs, it might have passed "Little Room" as my favorite White Stripes song... anyway its great and quickly climbing the list of my favorite songs.

(video link)

Meg:
Rag and bone!

Jack:
Rag and bone!

Meg:
Rag and bone!

Jack:
Rag and bone!
Meg, look at this place

Meg:
What? Whoo!

Jack:
This place is like a mansion!
It's like a mansion!
Look at all this stuff!

Meg:
I don't know.

Jack:
Look, I see something over there.
Man...

Well can't you hear we're selling rag and bone?
Bring out your junk and we'll give it a home
A broken trumpet or a telephone
Come on, come on, come on, come on and give it to me

Yeah

Come on, come on, come on, come on and give it to me
Rag and bone
Rag and bone
Come on, come on, come on, come on and give it to me

I'll have your pretty
Your pretty little rags and bones

Well, man, look at all this.
You don't want it?

Meg:
What is that?

Jack:
You sure you don't want it?
If it's just things that you don't want, I can use 'em
Meg can use 'em.
We can do something with 'em.
We'll make something out of 'em.
Make some money out of 'em, at least.
Hey, if you ain't gonna use it, just give it to us.
We'll give it a home.

Well, have they got something shiny for me?
Anybody got a Christmas tree?
Can you part with a toilet seat?
A jump up, a jump up, a jump up, come on and give it to me

Rag and bone

We wanna get it, granny, while it's hot
You think it's trash, granny, but it's not
We'll be taking whatever you got
A give up, a give up, a give up, come on and give it to me
Whoo!
All of your pretty, your pretty little rags and bones

Meg:
I saw some stuff in your yard, are you gonna give it to us?

Jack:
Aww, Meg, don't be rude.

Meg:
Or not...

Jack:
They might need it.
If you don't want it, we'll take it; if you don't want to give it to us, we keep walking by.
Keep going, we're not tired.
Got plenty of places to go, lots of homes we ain't been to yet.
West side, southwest side, middle-east, rich house, dog house, outhouse, old folks house
House for unwed mothers, halfway homes, catacombs, twilight zones.
Looking for techniques, turntables to gramophones.
So take a last lick of your ice cream cone.
And lock up what you still want to own.
But please be kind.
And don't rewind.
All of your pretty, your pretty little rags and bones.
Yeah!
Your pretty little rags and bones
Jump up, jump up, jump up, come on and give it to me
Oh, your pretty little rags and bones
Come on, come on, come on, come on and give it to us
Yeah!
Oh, yeah!
Yeah!

Meg:
Yeah!

Both:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah!

Chantel: I thought Dustin hated when people put lyrics in their blogs! *gasp!* Do my eyes decieve me?!

Dustin – I hate it when when you end your blog with lyrics, this whole blog was the song, not just a little snipet at the end.
