Updates on my weight loss plan

Ow. Ow. Ow.

3/12/2007 – 4:06 pm

I’ve spent years at a desk job and very little in the way of extra-curricular activity, so I’m not in the best shape of my life. In fact, I’m in pretty poor shape. I’m grateful that my doctor was diplomatic about it when I had my 40-year-old physical last week. [...]

Weight Goal

11/8/2004 – 12:57 pm

My weight on the scale this morning was 252 pounds, and my trend weight is less than half a pound higher than that. That puts me at right around 20 pounds lost since early September. I’ve had to add two notches to my belt, as well. If we hadn’t eaten out at restaurants so much this past weekend, I might have dipped down below 250. [...]

My weight on the scale today was 255 pounds, which is only 1 pound less than last Monday. But a few days ago, I was down at 252.5. My trend weight is 254.2, which is about 2 pounds lower than a week ago. I think I’ve said this before, but I really should have made Friday my weekly weight tracking day instead of Monday. [...]

I weighed in today at 256 pounds, which is 4.5 pounds lighter than last Monday, but 2 pounds higher than my low point of 254. It’s really amazing how much one weekend of carefree enjoyment of food can affect your body, and how long it takes to recover from it. [...]

Weekend fun

10/11/2004 – 11:05 am

Things I consumed this weekend that aren’t on my diet plan:

  • Beer
  • Hot dogs
  • Hamburgers*
  • Potato salad
  • Baked beans
  • Sauerkraut
  • Diet soda (ha!)
  • Sausage bread
  • Pumpkin bread
  • Chips
  • Dip
  • Chocolate cake
  • Ice cream

Weight I gained as a result:

  • 6 pounds

Number of kids under age 10 sleeping in our living room on Saturday night:

  • 6

The reason for all of the above:

Mary’s 9th Birthday

Happy 9th birthday, Mary!

* Technically, a hamburger patty with no bun would be okay, along with some vegetables and maybe a baked potato or some rice.

I got busy and forgot to post last Monday. But that’s okay because I didn’t have much progress to report. We were having a hectic period, and wound up eating out a lot. Then Susan put together the smoker she got last Christmas, and we’ve smoked some chicken breasts and a turkey since then (and when I say “we” did it, I really mean that Susan did it). [...]

This morning’s scale weight was 261.0, and my trend weight is just a smidgen above that. We fell off of our eating plan a bit over the weekend. We hadn’t had time to cook much this week, we were getting tired of the leftovers, and we were just generally stressed. [...]

The scale read 262.5 pounds this morning, which is 9.5 pounds lighter than one week ago. Though, I tend to trust my “trend weight” calculation a little more. It’s currently at 265.22, which is still almost 7 pounds down. So far, I’d have to say that our new eating plan is doing pretty good. [...]

Re-resolved

9/6/2004 – 5:29 pm

At the beginning of this year, I had resolved to lose some weight. My goal had been to lose one pound per week, though I really only managed about half of that, because I never started exercising as I had intended. [...]

My weight stayed pretty steady most of last week, with a final bit of up-and-down over the weekend. When all was said and done, I had only lost 0.1 lbs.

Current weight: 261.9 lbs.
