Nearing a Milestone: Dave, the Incredible Shrinking Man

A while back, I posted about immeasurable goals and why they're important to me.

Well, screw that post, 'cause today I'm giving a short, loud shout to Dave on one of his measurable goals: weight.

Last November, he weighed 315 pounds.

This morning, he weighed 251 pounds.

He's lost 20% of his body weight (and 56% of his long-term goal loss)!

*WOOT*

His long-term goal is to lose an additional 51 pounds to weigh in at 200.

But! His next short-term goal is to hit 250.

He's doing it right, by developing good eating habits and exercising. I'm super-proud and want to give him props here. I thought that you guys who know him in real life would want to give him a shout, too. (Heck, even if you only know of him through the blog, and want to shout, go for it.)

How about you? Have you been working toward a fitness goal? How's your progress? Want to celebrate crossing a milestone? Crow about it in the comments!

As someone who just lost almost 60 lbs I know what an accomplishment this is. Awesome. The good news is if you do it the right way it's (relatively) easy to keep on going. Yay Dave!!!
