I was very surprised at my weigh-in this morning - in fact, I think it’s a mistake somehow. And I fully expect to see a slight gain tomorrow which will be a correction of that mistake. It’s just not possible to lose a whole pound in one day. Is it?
Not that I’m complaining. I usually complain when my scale doesn’t show a loss and now it seems I’m complaining when it does. I guess I just don’t trust it.
Ever since July I’ve been tracking my weight loss since then. It was like I was starting over, so I started over. But those first 5.4 lbs I lost before July were so HARD to lose that I don’t want to forget about ‘em! So now I’m tracking both. Eventually I’ll just collapse them and stop tracking two weight loss figures. Maybe.
I’m jazzed that I’m getting so close to the 30-lb. mark. It’s amazing how much better I feel, physically, after taking only 30 of my extra pounds off! I can’t imagine what it’ll feel like to take off 30 more!
Now that I think about it, I’ve been on numerous diets over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever lost more than 30 lbs at a time. This will really be a new experience for me, to finally move beyond the initial “honeymoon” stage of a diet into long-term commitment. Very cool.

Oh I think it is possible that the pound is gone for good. It may not be possible to lose a pound in one day, but it is possible that maybe some of that pound has been gone already but has been masked by biological stuff. I have had that happen before. Kind of makes up for the days when the numbers won’t budge.
You are at a very exciting point in your diet! It feels so good when you know that you have gotten to that point. The point where it is for real this time! Good for you and I hope you continue to have great success!
Hooray for reaching your breakthrough point! Keep up the good work.
