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."

no weigh in this week

So I may not be able to do a weigh in this week. My scale insists today that I'm down to 327, like more than 16 down from last week. I mean, I would like to believe that... but I know I haven't been nearly that good. It did this sort of thing once before, and then it was working fine in a couple of days, so we'll see.

For now, i'm on non-scale measurements, and don't really have anything positive to report. I'm still pretty much stuck somewhere between 337 and 343. I've been on plan since Sunday, including workouts, so hopefully i'll start to show some results next week.

good luck to all!

Good for you for staying on plan! I think my scale freaks out and gives me funky readings from time to time too.
