Also, everyone's weight fluctuates throughout the day/week and can go up or down depending on everything from how much salt you eat to how much water you drink. The important thing is to look at the overall trend in your weight, which has been down (and falling!). Soon you'll have to go buy new pants!Bluebunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240977414312575897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647981158777587740.post-14737440671912137472009-03-09T16:25:00.000-07:002009-03-09T16:25:00.000-07:00I've said it before about you, and I've had it sai...I've said it before about you, and I've had it said about me before, but your story is certainly an inspiration to many. About 2 years ago, I lost nearly 70 pounds. I had been a runner in high school and decided that I needed to try it again - here I am training for my first marathon with my close friend, Karoline. I don't know that I'll ever do the 12 in 12, but for the time being, I am happy to do the ONE in APRIL. (and, I'll be trying the Mars Bar as well!) I love reading your blog - keep up the good work.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03145730218457970806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647981158777587740.post-91274493950173828982009-03-09T11:56:00.000-07:002009-03-09T11:56:00.000-07:00You met Jeff Galloway in person- WoW; )I have his ...You met Jeff Galloway in person- WoW<BR/>; )<BR/>I have his very first book...

This is because of swelling in your leg muscles because of the micro tears that you create as you run long distances. So it's not an accurate picture of your true weight. And speaking of pictures, WOW! You've come a long way, baby!<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work, Michael!lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495166674226656034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647981158777587740.post-41871699498702798932009-03-09T07:50:00.000-07:002009-03-09T07:50:00.000-07:00I love the first picture and the last one.

This morning I was 150. I am told this additional weight is because of the swelling of the leg muscles. weird!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647981158777587740.post-38635674614650360772009-03-08T18:43:00.000-07:002009-03-08T18:43:00.000-07:00Nice job & Nice post Michael.
