It’s Weigh Day!
By Wyatt Earp | June 14, 2008
I’m a dead ringer for Hugh Jackman now. ‘Cept for the claws.
Well, it’s been five and a half months since Sssteve challenged me to a weight loss competition. In that time, I went from 236 pounds to 200. For those of you in the South, that’s a total of 36 pounds. Heh. It hasn’t been easy, but Weight Watchers (and a lot of exercise) has really paid off.
I stepped on the scale today, and it still read 200 pounds. No loss, but more importantly, no gain. I am still one pound from being able to say my weight starts with a one, but I’m happy nonetheless. We have two more Weigh Days left, and the competition will end on June 30th.
Hopefully, my fellow competitors (besides RT, who is the only other blogger who has posted their results every week) will post their final tallies then.

Seriously, if you’re looking like that…

RT – I hope so. One lousy pound.
GroovyVic – I’m not, but keep talking!

Good for you. The trick is to keep it off. I lost 40 pounds 18 years ago and have kept them off. I weigh every day. One pound is easy to lose, but 40 was hard work.

Being one from the South, I’m inclined to start adding wads of bubblegum to my Wyatt Earp voodoo doll- a wad on both hips, double wad at the belly…hmmm….
Seriously Wyatt, I have faith you’ll make your goal. Well done so far!
Now, where did I leave that pack of bubblegum?

Wyatt, just tell them to leave the whiz off of the cheese steak, that should do it.

Ky person – After June 30, I think I’ll stay on it. I DO NOT want to be 236 ever again. Ever.
Snigs – Only joking, deary. I was going to write “Georgia,” but i didn’t want to be obvious.
Jennifer – But I LOVE Cheez Whiz! LOVE IT!

‘Cept for the claws, but what about the horrid sideburns?
Good job, btw!

Y’all we call 36 “A hundered” down here.

Why the South bashing? I’ve met as ignorant assholes up Nawth (thats southern for North) as I have in the back woods of Georgia–Those Sven jokes went right over my head until a stay at the Mayo Clinic taught me that blond headed, blue eyed Swedes could be dumber than any cracker. Good job on the weight loss; now keep it off. Had a patient the other day who said she had lost over 300# in a year–she had personally gone from 209 to 106# and had divorced a 210# asshole–which makes 313# in one year–not bad.

Doc Ramsey – Just a joke, sir. I love the South. And believe me, most of those ignorant a-holes are probably concentrated in my hometown.
