Week One Results

Well fatkateers, week one has ended, and judging by the frantic series of text messages Meegs sent out at 2 am, it appears she has lost the most weight thus far. Honestly, I'm not a bit surprised. See, she is doing Atkins, a diet that ensures failure to all who try it. Sure, she will lose a lot of weight very quickly, but I know Meegs. She loves carbs. I once saw her serenade a donut. At some point she will eat one single crouton and gain 53 pounds. It is inevitable. While she is victorious this week, and maybe even next, it is obvious that I am the real winner.

WEEK ONE RESULTS: SEVEN POUNDS LOST

I have to admit I'm quite pleased. I knew going into this that I would ultimately be the winner, however I also knew that simple diet and exercise would most likely help me lose weight more slowly than Ms. Bacon and The Pill-popper (by the way, congrats on being third, Laura). So I'm please that week one yielded such great results. Basically, I watched what I ate. Had lots of salads and fresh fruits and when I did eat out somewhere I got something delectable yet somewhat healthy (at least compared to the other things on the menu) and substituted fries for other things, etc. See, while I am on a diet, there is nothing I cant have if I so choose. Nothing is off limits, so that craving for something I can't have isn't there.

I also wanted to point out that Mr. McGill's claims of only being chubby may indeed be an elaborate hoax on his part. Surprisingly, after my week one loss, I now weigh 2 pounds less than he does, despite being 5 inches taller. Does this mean I'm only chubby as well? Or does it mean that McGill is actually....
