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."

See, exercising really does work... week 6 results

This turned out to be my second best week yet! The exercise really worked wonders on my progress. I'm feeling sore today, so this is just the motivation I needed to keep it up.

Anyway, I am down 8.4 lbs on the week, taking me to a grand total of 353.8, which is 39 down from where I started. I am at 23% of the way to my end of 2008 goal.


Still far, far to go!
