No, I did not fall off the face of the earth... Long overdue update.

You know how it is near the holidays.  Life overwhelms you to the point that everything becomes a fire fight and somethings fall by the wayside. I've neglected my weight-loss updates so here we go!

In my last post... about a month ago I had announced that I won the weight-loss challenge held at the Torrington YMCA from mid September through mid November.  In that time I lost nearly 30 pounds in 8 weeks.  As of today I am down an additional 12lbs.  That is a total of 40lbs since mid september when the challenge started.  The holidays have made it tough with my new eating habits as I find myself indulging frequently.  But I am still losing.  I will fall back into my routine after the holidays are over and hope to see some more aggressive weight-loss as I still have 44lbs to go until I reach my goal.

On New Years day I will post what I have been doing to get the results I've experienced as well as a before and "in progress" photo of me so you can see the results for yourself.

I've worked my way down from a 45.5 inch waist to a solid 40 inch waistline.  My goal is to lose around 6 more inches targeting a 34 inch waste line at 180lbs. If I can pick up the slack after New Years I should still be able to squeeze through my goal by the end of March.
