It’s been a couple of weeks since I updated, but not much has changed. Last time I posted my numbers I was 247 pounds. Today, I am 247.8 pounds. In between the two posts, I’ve weighed in as low as 244.8, but that didn’t last. I think the weight loss has officially come to an end and it’s time to try something new before I climb all the way back to 266.

My lack of progress has possibly caused me to make a slightly crazy decision, but I have decided that I need to try something new and to accomplish that I am going to run a marathon this year! My hope is that having a real deadline, a real event, and a real risk of public failure will inspire me to work harder at getting in shape quickly. This is an idea I have kicked around for quite a while now, and I read that J.D. @ Get Fit Slowly is going to run one too, so that was enough to put me over the edge and inspire me to sign up. I’ll share more about that later and how I plan to get ready.

*Note about this weight loss chart. When I started this blog I weighed 266 pounds and I was only tracking my pounds lost each week. On November 28, 2007 I started using a new scale that tracks body fat and more (the numbers you see above). I report the figures from that scale in these weekly posts and I still track my total pounds lost in the Weight Loss Goals section in the sidebar on my site.
