The timing couldn't have been better. With just about two weeks to go until my wedding, my weight loss began to plateau, and I started to feel a bit discouraged. But yesterday I saw my brother-in-law, who I hadn't seen in about two months. He looked incredibly lean compared to the last time he came to town.

I asked him how he did it, and he revealed to me that he was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and his is a doctor-prescribed diet - not too different from the South Beach Diet. Included in his regimen is a daily one-hour walk around the neighborhood after dinner. In about a month-and-a-half, he'd lost 25lbs. And his evening walks, had turned into light jogs, and he hopes to lose just another 10 lbs to reach his "bachelor days" weight.

Talking to him gave me an immediate boost of confidence and inspiration, and I went out for a long walk after dinner that evening. Less than two weeks to go til the big day. I can see myself lose another 5-8 lbs by then.

Starting Weight (08/07): 223.6
Week 1 (8/13): 217.4
Week 2 (8/20): 214.6
Week 3 (8/27): 213.6 (-10.0)
