So I’ve been exercising regularly for a week now and it hasn’t been pretty. I’ve been watching what I eat, doing cardio every day, and doing circuit training Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat. My kids are digging it because at least a couple days a week they get to swim at the Rec center pool for an hour while I work out. My wife is on board as well. She’s going with me to the gym and we are keeping each other motivated. We’ve both been talking about getting healthier for a while now and we’ve decided to commit. Amy (my wife) is awesome. She has been cooking healthier foods and we’ve been eating at home more often.
I’ve been weighing in on our morning show every day around 7:30AM. Here’s the tally so far…
1/2 – 199.0
1/3 – 199.4
1/7 – 200.4
1/8 – 201.0
1/9 – 201.8
As you can see, I’ve been gaining weight every stinking day! People are saying that the weight is added muscle, but I can’t believe I’ve gained three pounds of muscle in a week. At this rate, I’ll be 300 lbs!
Either way, I’m in it for the long haul. Hopefully those numbers will start heading the other way soon.

Keep it up, Shotgun! You can do it. Maybe you should get your bodyfat %measured once or twice a month (by a Trainer) to make sure that it is going down and to prove to Jesse that you are building muscle and not getting fatter.
Have a super day!
Hey, keep it up. You should really do what Natalie said and get oyur body fat measured. That is an accurate way to see if you are losing fat. Thats what I did and I found I lost close to 21 pounds of fat, and like 5 pounds of water weight. I did that in six weeks. Just keep going, and having the support of the family is great too. It is what kept me motivated. KEEP IT UP!!!!
Hi,
There can also be underlying emotional issues that block weight loss. You could ask yourself the question, What do you stand to gain or lose if you lose weight? For instance, a woman who has been raped may eat and gain weight to be unappealing to men. She may consciously want to lose weight but won’t be able to do so because of the underlying emotional blocks due to the rape issue. She will constantly sabotage herself and her efforts so as to remain unappealing to men. So any diet you attempt will fail unless these issues are dealt with. An amazingly easy way to deal with these issues and others is with EFT. It can help with any self image issues. Learn EFT free here: http://www.besteftresources.com/reccomends/eft.html
