Those were the first words uttered by me this morning after weighing in for the first time in probably a couple of months, and the first time I’ve recorded my weight since my October 20, 2008 weigh-in. Then, 340 pounds even. Today?
358 pounds.
I’ve gained 18 pounds, and the first thing I have to say about it is, “Well, that sucks.”
Obviously.
I’m not too shocked by this gain, though I am glad that it is not the entire 30 lbs I had previously lost. Nevertheless, I’d probably be exceptionally upset if the gain was just a few pounds.
In any case, I have been working on some more goals, have talked to my trainer/coach/friend and wife and am ready to get back on the path to success. That kind of sounds cheesy, but hey, it is what it is.
Sorry this is so short, but stay tuned for some new posts!

It’s easy to get off course. I gained much of what I lost over the past few weeks, prior to “starting over” last month.
Excellent that you’re getting back to it. Good luck!

yeah, I started in a slide myself these last couple of weeks. I’m happy to report that I have gotten back on track with my eating and am starting to lose again. Don’t get discouraged. Eat more protein.

Two steps forward one step back is how it goes sometimes. At least you are still ahead of the game!

You know what it is like to loose 30 pounds and I think that puts you so far ahead of the game. All you have to do now is take what you learned during your 30 pound weight loss, “rinse and repeat.” You know what works, and knowing is half the battle.

Keep your head in the game, Johnny!
Don’t lose focus and those pounds will start melting away.
