Drum roll please….
I weighed in this morning and I have successfully completed my current weight loss goal.
I have now lost 36 lbs since starting the “Lose it!” app on my iPod/iPhone since January 11. The original target date for the weight loss set by the app was May 3rd. Today is May 27th and I am very happy with that amount of “slippage”.
Now what’s next? The goal has to change. Many of you have heard me say that I want to look like DJ Pauly D by the end of the summer…
How I am going to go about that I haven’t fully decided yet, but I have a few ideas. I need to figure out what is going to work for me. Sit-ups are definitely going to be involved. I also need to figure out how to use “Lose it!” to keep my weight under control while I am adding muscle. I know that my weight is going to go up with muscle mass, but I want something governing to make sure that it doesn’t rise due to fat. At the end of the program I was allowed 1,863 calories per day. Now that I have hit my goal it is telling me I am allowed 2,857 calories per day to maintain. That is a 1,000 deficit that I was running at. I would be scared to eat 2,857 now, but I might need some of those calories if I start trying to add muscle.
Hold on, it will be a bumpy ride to the new goal, but I am sure I can figure it out!
Congratulations Neil! Watching you on this program has been pretty amazing and I know you are serving as an inspiration for others. Good luck on your next phase, if we have more people with Pauly’s body walking around then Edmonton will be just that much better!

Thanks Nick! You have been amazing support for me on this journey, from being a work day cheerleader to being that little food devil on my shoulder those days I might have made bad decisions and regretted them at night. Also thanks for dealing with my indecision at lunch on those days I had to really think about where and what to eat.

Hehehe I don’t know Jackie, he does have pretty smoking hair, hard to compete with that… LOL A girl at work asked me yesterday if the tattoos come with the muscles or if I had to buy them separately 😉

I bet if you had the body you could get people to pay for the tattoos 😉
