Great week and a challenging weekend upcoming

I had a great week in the last week.  I had a few challenges that I was able to overcome and stay on target for calories this week.  This is not rocket science.  The formula is very simple  Calories expended > Calorie intake = weight loss.  What makes the difference is the drive and dedication.  All of the support I'm getting is helping me.  All of the comments on FB and blog, all of the people in real life asking me how it's going, all of the people who have stated I'm inspiring them....that all helps to keep me on track which is going to show in the numbers below.

Week 3 report:
Weight:  409.6 lbs
Delta from previous week:  -12.2 lbs
Total delta:  -19 lbs

Neck:  20.25 (.75 inches)
Chest:  57 (-1 inches)
Belly:  59 (-1 inches)
Waist:  53 (-1 inches)
Cumulative delta from previous week:  -3.75 inches
Total delta:  -10.55 inches

While I'm celebrating my successes, I have a lot of work to do for this weekend.  I am getting together with a group of guys from college.  The last two times we did this we had so much food and beverages that I literally ate myself sick.  Based on the fact that my stomach is settling in, I'm not getting hangry as much, and smaller amounts of food (approx half of previous) are filling me up, I think I'm ready for the weekend.  All of the guys are on my support team for this, and will help keep me accountable.  I plan on changing what I'm eating a little bit, but mostly how much.  Portion size is the key for me.  Denial turns into binging which does me no good.

All that said, I'm also going to blog every day over the weekend (starting Thursday night), so that gives me another level of accountability.  I'd really like to do 25 lb pictures in the next week or two which is within arms reach currently.
