This is a public diary and a public confession. Its the story of Mike Gibbons-Camp, a 30 year old legal aid attorney who on August 23, 2007 weighed in at 392.8 lbs. Thanks to the constant support of my wife, Liz, and a kick in the pants by a good friend who I hadn't talked to for a while, I finally decided that enough was enough. But instead of quietly suffering with my weight, I started my blog, "New Me?"

I did really well for 10 weeks, then it completely fell apart. I was in denial for a long time, thinking I was just slipping up a bit, making a mistake here or there. But the reality was that I had failed.

Since then i've tried just about everything I could to get back on the wagon. And i've done well for a week here, a week there, but nothing lasting. So I don't know what to tell a new reader to my blog, but "welcome, and wish me luck."

week five roundup

So I had a mixed results kind of day yesterday. I thought I was doing fairly well on food, though I ended up being stuck in Cbus too late to make it home for my trip to the Y. But I ended up being just slightly up from Tuesday, after a week of steady declines. On the bright side, I found a store where I could buy myself a few pairs of gym shorts, so now I don't have to wash laundry every single time I go to the Y :)



Today's Status:

Weight: 362.2, down 6.1 on the week, 30.6 overall.

My target pace for End Obesity in 2008 is still 2.1
