50 pounds is A LOT

As of today Richard has lost 149,202.6 calories (and he counted every single one). That adds up to a grand total of 50 pounds since August 8th.

I am so proud of Richard. He worked extremely hard these last 3 1/2 months and has stayed so committed. He counted every single calorie he ate and every calorie he burned exercising. I could never do what he has done. Richard's dad has been his example, inspiration, and his biggest supporter.

Richard really likes it when people congratulate him on the weight he has lost, so I better see some comments for him! (*hint hint*)

Emily said...

Wow~! That is so awesome! Way to go Richard! That's a huge test of self control. Very impressive.(Sarah- Jon's lost about 15 pounds while I've been pregnant, what's with them losing all that weight while we're gaining it!? haha) Can't wait to see pictures of your sweet baby!

Holy Cow!!! (I really wanted to say holy crap... I just did) Richard you look great! First off I can't believe you did that in 3 1/2 months! I guess exercise and diet really do work, lol. Secondly, I didn't even know you had put on weight, but your before and after pictures are amazing! Richard and Sarah, you two just look too fabulous for being an overworked law student and a pregnant mommy to be! I can't wait for the baby pictures!

Richard Arthur! You look amazing! (Says Mary) You look really good Richard, very GQ. (Says Nate) I really want a cookie right now, but you make me feel guilty about it, just kidding. (says Mary)

Congratulations Richard! Your dedication is amazing. That kid of yours is going to be calorie counting from the womb, with you as an example!

Dad said...

Your fight and determination far outstripped mine, Richard. I find it remarkable that you did this entirely on your own...with lots of love and support from Sarah. Congrats to both of you. You look great. Nothing can stop you.
Love, Dad

Joseph said...

Congratulation Richard, you look great. Can't wait to see you both.

Richard, what you have done is quite incredible. I can't believe you lost 50 pounds and in just 3 months. You are an inspiration. Let Sarah know her sushi looks pretty incredible too.

Way to go Richard! you have shown the rest of us how to lose weight -unfortunately it seems to be a combination of discipline and excercise! Congratulations on being able to manage both. ...Grizzly Peak here we come!

wow he looks so good! miss you guys... sorry still haven't updated my blog :( but would you believe me if I said I was working on it :)

Ryan said...

WOW. Very impressive Richard. I think it is a little rude though, that you lost weight while your poor wife was gaining. (Although she hasn't gained much by the looks of her.) Maybe try to be a bit more sensitive next time. :)

That's awesome Richard! Are you sure that you didn't just get a tapeworm while you were in Ghana this summer? JK great job and keep up the good health. Keeping down the BMI reduces the risk of just about every disease so now you'll live forever. And congrats on being a dad!!!
