Earlier today I posted an entry about my awesome new Troy Polamalu jersey. The birthday is a great time to reflect on my weight loss goals as well. I’m really happy with my progress thus far. This is me today:

And this was me at WWDC in June:

So far, I’ve lost 37 pounds, down to 228 from 265. I started tracking my calorie intake and output pretty aggressively (or neurotically depending on your point of view) in August using Lose It! for iPhone. Lose It! tells me that I weighed 257 pounds on August 10, so I’ve lost nearly 30 pounds in 3 months.

I’ve got a ways to go before I make my goal weight of 200 pounds, but six months after my worst state, I am in the best shape I’ve been in since I got married and I’m well on my way to being in the best shape of my life. I’m feeling great and looking forward to whatever life has in store going forward.
