I just wrapped up my first full week of the contest. On my personal scale, I know I’m a little behind my personal goal of being 290 lbs. But not by much.
This next part is the mental part where I have to push through. I hit the weight plateau quickly. In weight loss, you’ll lose 10-15 pounds easily, without even thinking about it. Then, you’ll hit a certain weight and stick around it for a while. As long as you stick with it and power through it, then the real weight loss comes.
99.9% of people will stop any diet or weight loss program because of the plateau. When I wrestled many moons ago in high school, I had the same issue.
I set high and low goals for myself each week.
Week 1: High-under 300 lbs, low-10 lbs
Week 2: High-under 290 lbs, low-10 lbs
I’ve hit both my low goals. I’m really going to push this week to hit my next (and first) high goal, of 280 lbs. Either way, I had some success actually fitting into a couple of shirts I havent been able to ear in months. That’s a good start.
