THE ROCK FATHERRock Father vs. Rock Father – For the past six weeks, James Zahn and Tom George (read the kick-off story here) have been engaged in the early stage of a year-long journey to not only lose weight, but get fit. These two Work-at-Home Dads had let time and their jobs take their toll on their personal well-being. Now, nearly four weeks into their journey, we’ll find out how their efforts are paying off. This afternoon, Sunday, February 9, 2014, both men did their weigh-in… and these are the results.

week6jamesJAMES ZAHN aka THE ROCK FATHER

Starting Weight: 328.4 | Last Week: 318 | Current Weight: 315

About Week 6, James states: “Three pounds down after my rebound last week, so the course is steady and folks tell me that this is a ‘healthy’ amount of weight loss. Down 15 pounds since I started tracking, but 13 pounds for the ‘official’ challenge – and I’m pleased with it. This week I ran into a situation where we had company, and I also took my wife out for a date night at Hofbrauhaus… so let’s just say I didn’t count calories that night (couldn’t even find nutrition info for that fine German food). This week should be really interesting, as I’m on the road. Stay tuned!”

Starting Weight: 396.4 | Last Week: 376.6 | Current Weight: 373

About Week 6, Tom states: “This week I learned all about the effect that Sodium has on your weight. I ate 2,300mg of Sodium or less Monday-Thursday (after the Super Bowl). My weight went from 380.6 on Monday morning to 371.8 (nearly 9 pounds) on Thursday morning?! I then ate fairly regular meals on Friday and Saturday. My weight shot right back up due to increased Sodium intake (I was still limiting my calories). I ended up at 373 for my weigh in this week which is still a 3.6 pound loss though had I stuck to the clean low sodium plan, I would likely be a few pounds less. I also learned that if you eat a lot of sodium it takes about 2 days for your body to get back to normal weightwise. You live and learn!”

So far, we’re tracking a 13 pound loss by James, and a 23.4 pound loss by Tom.

Stay tuned!
