Dear Tumblrians,

I’m sending up a plea for help. Look what happened. Yes, that is weight gain. And it’s really zapped my attitude. Don’t get me wrong, I knew some flux was bound to happen…but I didn’t expect it so soon. I really thought I’d be able to hit my first goal of 250lbs (113.4kg) without having to fight the roller coaster. It also couldn’t have happened at a worse time. I was finally able to get out on the bike for the first time since my surgery, and I didn’t lose any weight…I gained.

So I’m feeling a bit down. And knowing that all of us who blog about our weight challenge use the blog as a support mechanism, I’m asking for some of that support. I can do this…just not feeling much desire right now.

If you’ve gone through the same thing and fought through it let me know. Can you help me out?

I want to ride my bicycle. Winter is still hitting hard here in Dallas, yet my desire to get out on the bike is heavier than ever. Heavy. On that note, I’ve lost a few more pounds. 256.8 is my new weight. That’s a little over 13 lbs lost in about 3 weeks. Not bad, but I can’t weight until I can get on the bike and reap the benefits.

It may still be a little premature to get on the bike for long distances with my knee still recovering from surgery. It’s not bad, but can become seriously sore at the end of the day. So we’ll see how it heals and if I can get on for a decent amount of time.

So if you see a fat guy trolling around Dallas with a look of horrible pain on his face, tell him to go home and let his knee heal.

Thanks for the flood of followers lately, you are greatly appreciated. The more people that support me in my fight to drop this weight, the better and more energized I feel.
