jaytori129 Posts: 657 Joined: 2006/11/14	2006/12/07, 12:36 PM Hanging in there I weighed this morning and I'm at 358. I know the weight is going to come off technically i have lost 22 lbs since august, but since i am not sure when that was i have lost 7 in 2 weeks (one of which was thanksgiving) I am proud of myself...and on the sad side with my broke toe i cant do cardio so hopefully my increased weight routine will still help. I may have lost only 7 But my arms are bigger than before! -------------- Jason Fox 6'1" 380lbs Weight Goal 300 by april 2007
