Confused?
I found, through Boing, Boing, a fantastic blog account of how Jeremy lost 50 pounds over the course of a year. Â Now, being somebody who needs to lose (at least) 100 pounds, this naturally caught my eye.
First of all, here’s the link.
Now, let’s put a little tidbit out there:
This week I’ll publish a series of short articles that explain the simple plan and the various tactics I used to drop nearly 50 pounds (or 5 belt inches and one shirt size) in the course of last year.
The advice I’ll give isn’t likely to be all that different that what you might read elsewhere, but the combination is what worked well for me. Hopefully it’ll motivate a few more people to do the same. I learned a lot about my habits and behavior in the process and suspect that much of it applies to most people who are struggling with extra pounds.
Includes a spreadsheet, tips on setting goals, habits you need to change, how to eat less, everything!  I’m sold.  I’ve had great success at losing some pounds over the past several weeks, but I’ll let you in in a secret: I can lose weight.  I’ve done it before, plenty of times.  It keeps finding me again.
This time I want to lose it for good.
I have recently started the Shangri-La diet, so I will make you a deal, I will keep you up to date with my information and findings (the good, the bad and the ugly) if you do the same. Deal?
I’ve got an even better idea…wanna challange each other? I don’t know about you, but I’m very competative (some days LOL)…maybe we should have a bunch of us challenging each other to lose weight, and we all throw five bucks or something in the pot, and the winner after a certain amount of time gets the money! We could start a whole site about it…we could spread it through the US…we could RULE THE WORLD!
Sorry…a little Plankton snuck in there LOL. You know my brain, always too much imagination!
Just keep posting the updates on your current weight. Having to be all honest with us will help keep that Ben and Jerry’s pint out of your hand. 😉

Good luck, ya’ll!
Liz,
Be glad you didn’t say Phish Food. I’d climb right through the interweb to get to a pint of Phish Food right now…
