Well, it finally happened.
After 14 straight weeks of losing weight since joining the Ultra Fit program, I had a slight stumble. In the eight days since I last weighed, I've put on two pounds.
Not the way I wanted to close the first full year of my weight loss effort. But there's nothing I can do to change it. I had a bad week. I let my comittment slip. And I paid the price.
All I can do now is pick myself up and keep moving forward.
I'll have more on the psychology of the whole thing later on. But for now, I've officially reached the end of year No. 1. And as of today, I'm 109 pounds lighter than I was way back last December.
So in the grand scheme of things, obviously I'm ecstatic with the year. I wish I had started Ultra Fit sooner, but trust me.
I plan on making up time in year two.
So here it is. The complete Year One Scoreboard:

Dan,
Great job. We're proud of accomplishment. The old saying of " If htere's a will there's a way" is what you've show here. I saw it in my wife's battle with cancer. With a lot of prayers and a little "will" anything can happen. Remember that the Lord helps those who help themselves and your showing it by your results and the promise you made to your wife and family. Keep up the great work.
May the Lord bless you day,
Mike Bowden
Weight loss and healthy living isn't a week-to-week commitment: it's a lifelong commitment. You've done great things for your health over the past year and as long as the trend with your weight continues to be downward, a "bad" week or two along the way will never be devastating. Motivation is the number one key and you've got plenty of it. The next year will bring upon many more great things. Stay the course!
I would like to Thank Dabo Swinney for his support as he must be a busy man and his blog shows that he is a caring and compassionate man also. I respect Dabo for his sincerity and I would like to Congratulate him for doing such a great job in turning the team in a very positive way during a chaotic time.
Dabo definately earned his position!
Congratulations Dabo for a job well done. I am excited for the future of Clemson and I know you will make us proud.
I would also like to thank Mike Bowden for his kind words towards Dan's achievements. I know it means alot to Dan and I feel like we are all part of a team working together to create success for Dan and for many others that are following Dan's progress and also working hard to achieve their goals.
Don't worry about last week Dan...I fell a few times and messed up when I trained for my first few contests. It was the struggle and the learning process that enabled me to build strength to train and win the USA. Once you get the program down pat and the momentum, then you will fly like an Eagle, my friend.
We are proud of you and we are excited about your future as I know you can take it all the way and we will be with you for every step of your journey to success.
You have the full support of the Ultra Fit team and Vernon and I.
Remember Philippians 4:13 -
"I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens Me"
Lean on us for the knowledge and your program and rely heavily on your faith to sustain your commitment.
The lord has blessed us with the ability to guide you, motivate you, train you and hold you accountable. The lord has also blessed you with the ability to look to him for strength and fortitude through the tough times.
You can do this champ.
I believe in you Dan!
Respectfully,
John DeFendis
You're doing great, Dan.
I, also, would like to congratulate Dan on a successful year!
My sincerest congratulations to your fine effort. I think you'll find change to be fulfilling and wholesome. Please, no questions!
Ouch, Barack can't spell his own name. This could be four long years. Dan, you didn't mention that W had left a message. Lame ducks get no respect.
You'll be back on track in no time. This time next year you could be at or near your final goal! How awesome would that be?
