Goal!

Keep it short and sweet today...NAILED my goal for July. KILLED it. It had NO CHANCE.

Today's Weight: 286.4
Yesterday's Weight: 288.2
Change: -1.8
Total Weight Lost: 20.8
Pounds to Goal C: 6.4

> I hit my goal 14 days early
> I crossed the 20-lb lost mark
> I'm now 6.4 pounds from my AUGUST 31 goal

I'd like to lose another 2.4 pounds this month, which I think I should be able to pull off. Going into August four pounds from my goal would be a nice feeling.

Everybody have a great weekend!

Don't Panic, it's Just a Plateau

My last five weigh-ins:

288.2
288.2
289.8
288.0
288.2

My body likes 288. Too bad it doesn't have final say in things.

Yesterday got away form me pretty fast, as I got busy, and never recovered. So, today I'll try again with the walk/exercise thing. Maybe tomorrow will be the 287 day. Here's hoping.

Today's Weight: 288.2
Yesterday's Weight: 288
Change: +0.2
Total Weight Lost: 19
Pounds to Goal B: 1.2

When Will I Hit 287?

Today's Weight: 288.0
Yesterday's Weight: 289.8
Change: -1.8
Total Weight Lost: 19.2
Pounds to Goal B: 1

I am one pound away from hitting my goal, which I hoped to hit by 7.31. I see no reason I can't nail that tomorrow. I'm going to do everything in my power to kill it, actually. Take the kids for a walk, do some push ups, hit the perfect pull up, and hopefully play basketball again tonight.

I've played the last two nights, actually. Nothing major, just some playful stuff with my brother and nieces, and even a little with Beck last night.

If I can do all those things, and make sure my diet is spot-on today, I'll expect to see a 287 - or under - tomorrow morning at 8:30.

And that would rock.

Ka-Pow!

Last night was the worst I've eaten in WEEKS. Bad carbs, junk food...here's the menu:

Two beef hot dogs on white buns
1.5 cups of baked beans
8 Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies

In other words, it's not that bad. There are cookies left, and there are two hot dogs left. I ate what I wanted, then stopped. It's all about moderation.

In exchange for eating wisely, my weight stayed the same, keeping me at my newest low - 288.2. So, I'm still well on pace to hit 287 by Saturday morning, roughly two weeks before my goal date.

Sunday Check-In

Accidentally ate way too little yesterday. I think I topped off at around 800 calories. By the time things slowed down and I could eat dinner, it was almost midnight, so I decided to wait for breakfast.

Anyway, here's the numbers:

Today's Weight: 288.2
Yesterday's Weight: 289.6
Change: -1.4
Total Weight Lost: 19.0
Pounds to Goal B: 1.2

So, I have 19 days to lose 1.2 pounds. I think I can handle that. In fact, I think I'm going to unofficially change my goal for 7.31 to 284 pounds. We'll see how that goes.

Stats

See below for more meat than this...

Today's Weight: 289.6
Yesterday's Weight: 289.2
Change: +.4
Total Weight Lost: 17.6
Pounds to Goal B: 2.6

Two days in a row under 290 makes me happy. I want to hit my goal of 287.0 by a week from this morning. That brings me in two weeks early.

Weight Loss Visualized

Today's weigh-in is pending. I'm assuming I'll be right around 290. Just wanted to post this to show the benefit of tracking your weight loss and 5-day average. Even though your body may fluctuate, if you keep doing what needs to be done, it'll all even out.

Have a great weekend!

That's the Way (uh-huh, uh-huh) I Like it.

Today's Weight: 289.2
Yesterday's Weight: 291.0
Change: -1.8
Total Weight Lost: 18
Pounds to Goal B: 2.2

It's the power of diet that makes this happen. I haven't eaten after 9 in weeks. Haven't had a real cheat meal in weeks. Haven't had any real sweets (candy, donuts, cake, etc.) in weeks. I've been eating 98% perfect since early June, and that's why I'm now down 18 pounds.

I'm a little more active, sure. But I haven't really been working out, in the traditional sense of the words. This is a diet-induced weight loss.

I'm now just 2.2 pounds away from my July goal of 287.0. I doubt I'll hit it in the next week, as my body is now due for a move in the wrong direction that will last for a few days. But should my body decide not to fluctuate, it's realistic that I'd hit my goal in a week or less.

The lesson here is to control...maybe even "master" your diet. One bad meal can set you back 3-4 days, no matter how much exercise you're getting. Get that under control, and you can lose the weight you need.

Good way to go into the weekend...
