Weigh-in: 17 July 2010

Todays weight: ?
Change: ?
Total loss: ?

Karen was sick this weekend, so I didn't go to meeting. That's a bit of a bummer, but makes it clear that I need to find a back-up meeting. As long as I make it every other week, I'm pretty cool with that. I keep up with my tracking, so I've got a pretty good idea of whether or not I'm on track or not, even if I don't do a weigh-in and get a specific number.

I've got a couple of options in terms of back-up meetings, as long as all I want is a weigh-in. There are meetings on Monday nights at 6:00 and 6:30, and one on Wednesdays at noon. I'd probably have to take the boys, but Jack and James could look after Tom long enough for me to jump up on the scales and get a number. Maybe.

But since I've only missed one meeting, I'll just wait and see the number next Saturday. Despite eating out several times this week, I think I'll be alright. I'd like to see at least another kilo (2.2 lbs) gone, moving me a little bit closer to my short-term goal of 155.5 (343 lbs, 40 kg (88 lbs) lost). Then I'll set my next goal at 140.5 kg (310 lbs).

It seems like a very slow process, but I remind myself that I've lost over 35 kg (77 lbs) in less than 6 months, and it took years to pack all that weight on.
