This is just a real quick update, as I am going to wait until week ten for another photo and an update of greater detail.
We went camping for five days, we had to drive a friend back and forth to Newark, New Jersey, and we had a little shindig in said friend’s honor prior to camping – all of these things could have lent themselves to massive gains for yours truly, but I was able to suppress most of the impulses and came out on top.
Well, sorta. I didn’t lose a single pound. I am still at 206.6. But that is ok with me, considering the beer, ice cream, smores, hamburgers dripping with grease and smothered in cheese, macaroni salad that you wanted to swim in, banana bread, wine, bacon, and various other fatty and high calorie foods were floating around. Oh, and I had quite a bit of sushi twice this week. Man that stuff gets me every time.
I consider it a personal victory that I had the ability to restrain myself to the extent that I did not gain any weight.
From what I read, many of my fellow dieters did well, so I’m really happy about that too.
The camping trip, and the saga that is my computer, will be written up as soon as I catch up on work. Now, off to play some basketball to get back into my normal schedule, and begin seeing results once again.

congrats colin! I saw a new number for me this morning, trying to hang onto it until next week!
Great Job, no gains, that’s good stuff.
hope you had fun on your trip!
Troy: Thanks, and I hope you do well.
James: We definitely did, thanks!
Boom sha-lack-a-lack-a. All the good food and you still maintained. Your new nickname is either iron will or iron gut, I can’t decide.
I have lost about 20lbs. so far and I want to lose about 20-30 more. Keep going Colin. The thing that has most recently is my inability to eat a lot or stuff myself and stopped drinking all pops/sodas. I have begun to receive massive headaches from one sip of any of them and I have switched to coffee, tea, water and juices. I can’t believe how good I feel right now.

[...] So, how did I do this week? Last week my weigh in was 206.6 pounds. This week – 202.0 pounds. As I said last week, I did increase my calories slightly, but I also played a fair amount of basketball and ultimate frisbee so I’m pretty sure my results are coming from the exercise. [...]
