Weigh-in: 14 August 2010

Today's weight: 153.9 kg (339 lbs)
Change: -0.8 kg (-1.7 lbs)
Total loss: -41.6 kg (-91.7 lbs)


I made to meeting even though I stayed up until nearly 1:00 last night, and was up dealing with Tom at 4:30 this morning. I was really tempted not to go, but then I told myself that I would weigh the same today whether I went to meeting or not, and if I did go, that would be three in a row, which would be A Good Thing™. So I went, and it turns out that it's actually four in a row. Sweet! That's not a record or anything, but it's still good. 


My results the last few weeks have been okay, but not great. 1.4 kilos (3 lbs) in the last two weeks is less than the 1.9 kg (4.1 lbs) from the week before. But considering that I'm hardly exercising at all, and I'm only recording points after I eat rather than allocating them before I eat, it's probably better than I should expect. 


I thought I might do something to shake things up a little bit by setting myself a challenge for next month. A two kilo loss for each week. I got the idea that I'd look back through my weigh-ins, pick out the ones where I lost the most weight in a week, then read through my food/exercise records to see how I did it. I mean, why do what you think might work when you can learn from the past and do what did work, right? Unfortunately, that's when I discovered that out of all the data I enter into Weight Watchers' online record-keeping system, I can only look back and see the details for the past 60 days. What a bummer. 


So I'm still going to do the 2 kilos a week challenge in September, but I'm not going to be able to look back at what I was eating back in March, April and May when I was losing over 2 kilos a week. Hopefully if I plan out my meals and exercise in advance, that should do it. And if I want to have a record of what I'm eating that I can refer to more than 2 months later, I'm going to have to keep an additional record other than the Weight Watchers online Points Tracker tool. Hell, maybe I'll just do it right here in the blog.
