Dieting the 9rules Way

May 30, 2006 at 4:29pm in The Real Life

This post doesn’t come easy. I’ve been a “fat kid” for the majority of my life. Every since my parents left eating up to me I’ve been over my normal weight. It was never out of hand until last year. I had surpassed the overweight category and entered the obese category for my height. Not cool. So I decided to start a diet, but unlike the diets of the past, this was going to be a complete habit changing one. I started my diet back in late January weighing in at 234 pounds. Today I currently weight 210 pounds. That’s a big improvement, but I still have a long way to go.

So, today I’m kicking my dieting into round two, joining the great folks over at 9rules on a community diet. We’re all going to work our ways to a healthier weight together. By doing it in a group I think we’re all going to be more likely to succeed.

If you’re interested in tracking my progress, I have a page setup in the About Me section. I want to keep my diet restricted to that page, because my intent is to not gross out my readers who are here for tech news. Hope to see you on that page, cheering me on, or just letting me know I’m slacking on my diet.

Awesome Site Ron .. found you from a comment on PaulStamatiou.com.

Kudos for keeping up the hard slog with dieting. I’ve always been larger than the average bear, but have managed to keep things under control with rugby and other fitness stuff .. the problem i forsee is the day when my body gives up getting crunched .. but anyway .. kudos :).

All the best with your endevour, and all the best with the site.

Thanks for stopping by Stu. I’m glad you like my website.

Thanks for the encourage words. I wish you luck maintaining your own weight. I wish I would enjoy fitness activities more; that would make dieting so much easier.

Nice work. Posting the photo(s) should provide us with some needed motivation for sure! Keep it up.

Hi Monkey,

Probably you won’t remember me, but it’s ok. In case, I use your Google Analytic’s plugin for Wordpress, anyway.

I wish good luck for you! =D And the fault is yours and the others, I’m in too! =D

Hi LeKrapo. I do remember you, mainly from your Gravatar and website. Thanks for wishing me luck, and I hope you succeed with your diet also.
