Dropped another lb. which brings my total to 17. I saw on another thread about someone saying they had lost '10% of their starting weight'. Hmmm, I never really thought of it in terms of '%' loss (and hey, I'm all for ANY type of incremental measuring to keep me going! ) and even my mathletically challenged brain realized that 10% of 170 is 17. How very cool!
Losing ten percent of my starting weight (only one more pound!) is the first major interim goal that I am targeting.
Studies came out recently that showed that losing (and maintaining) a 10% weight loss resulted in noticeable improvements in health (cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and insulin resistance). That is probably why you see some folks mentioning the 10% goal mark.
Hey thanks for all the nice posts! Yeah, it's funny how if you look at something just a little bit differently, it puts it in a whole new light. I have so many different 'tracking' systems that it makes me sometimes. lol Oh well, as long as it keeps me focused and on the right track - - - it's all good.
I have one more pound to go before my 10% starting weight loss goal! In fact, i made this nice chart of goals (yes, Excel works for LOTS of things!) So, every time I lose 10%, my next goal is to lose 10% of that current weight. It's easier than looking at the big picture..and it's so nice to think of myself as 10% smaller. Ugh. I can't believe I ever let myself get that (this) big!
10% OFF - and it's not even a sale!
