I've lost 15 pounds during the first segment of my master plan to drop 100 pounds overall.Those 15 have been fast (I'm only at Day Eleven) and it's been great to see daily progress toward my goal every time I waddle onto the scale. However, it's interesting... Shaving 15 pounds off a 300 pound fat guy doesn't make a substantial difference in appearance.
You'd think that removing the equivalent of a nice-sized Thanksgiving turkey would be eye-popping, but it's not. The difference in appearance over the last 11 days is slight, at best.
My face is regaining some lost contour. My belly may protrude a little less. Otherwise I look like... Well, I look like me.
I'm guessing that "holy shit" visual results will not kick in until some point around the conclusion of the first 50 pounds dropped. That's a little pessimistic, really. I bet I'll notice a difference here and there at the 30 mark.
Either way, thank _________ (insert name of higher power or God figure here) for scales. If I was doing this and didn't have immediate measurable feedback, it wouldn't work as well.
Speaking of observable progress, I am going to try to get my BEFORE pictures up here by Monday. I plan on posting updates at "monument" marks. Maybe in 25-pound increments. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures of the pretty girls. They are far more appetizing than pictures of a fat dude who's trying to shed some weight. MUCH more appetizing.
