My mini-goals I've reached to Date!
I am a daily weigh-iner.
I know many people say this is bad, because it is so influenced by what you ate that day, the day before, by when you last made a poop or if you've drank a lot of water..
but for me, that's part of the point. I weigh in everyday as an indication of how well I'm doing food-wise from day to day so I can tell what tweaks I might need (i.e. avoid sodium more, each more roughage to poo more...).
I started weighing in everyday on March 28th, 2008. I was down 21.6lbs from my start weight of 192.8 on January 31st, 2008. About two months to lose more than 20lbs - not bad!
I had passed my 10% weigh in as well as my 10lb and 20lb markers.
I passed 30lbs down on April 27, 2008. A month to lose ten more pounds.
Today I finally weighed in as down 40lbs! This morning I weighed in at 152.2. It took 3 months to lose these ten pounds. Way longer. Admittedly, I've been a bit more relaxed in my weigh loss - taking it easier on myself since Amy's wedding is over and I'm no longer having an impending dress to be pictured in.
I have fifteen more pounds or so that I plan to lose - that takes me down to under 140lbs. At this rate, I should be there around October! We'll see how I feel when I get there!
So far, I tell people it's been easier and harder than they could possible imagine!
