Sean (US): This week I hit a total of 10 pounds lost after 3 weeks of Weight Watchers®; a big thanks to Mike and Rob for inspiring me to give WW a shot. My foot injury is mostly healed so I get to start yoga again too.
Stefan (Germany): I have been weighing more than I should for most of my life, but due to my lack of discipline I have never done a serious attempt to lose weight or even do some sports. But the situation changed when I went on holiday to California where I made extensive excursions to the local burger grills. Wendy’s, Carl Jr., you name it, I’ve been there. As a result I gained around 12 lbs in only 3 weeks and reached a total of 262 lbs which is too much even for someone 6ft 2″ tall.
When I came home, I not only felt really fat and unattractive, I also had a real lust for salad and fruits that I had not known before. So I figured this would be the perfect situation to get serious about losing some weight.
I felt that a complex diet plan like counting points would be too annoying for me to stick to, so instead I just cut down my portions and replaced the huge amounts of unhealthy stuff I was jamming into me every day by more healthy food. Instead of the french fries I will have rice, potato chips are replaced by raw carrots, and a ham bacon & egg sandwich can be eaten without the ham bacon & egg and especially without the butter that glues it all together.
I have been doing this for five days now and already lost 7 lbs. Most of my previous halfhearted attempts failed around dinner time of the first day. As next step, I will think about buying a Wii to get me do a bit of sportive activity.

Lexy: This week has been a challenge. Between Chinese food on Father’s Day, traveling (basically on vacation) for four days, and coming back to stress – well, it’s not the best I’ve ever done. On the other hand, going to visit my father actually got me outside and doing some gardening. The end result is that I had been up about three pounds but am now back to where I was before I left. I can live with that.
Rafe: My corporeal being did not exhibit any substantial changes in mass or composition. However, I got faster and stronger (for the first time in my life, I picked up something twice as heavy as I am).
Scott: Holding steady for now, which isn’t the result I want. May have to change things up a bit more to find out where the hole is in my dieting. But have been keeping up with the workouts and seem to be very slowly losing weight.
