Healthy Weight Loss

Thinker · 10-28-2011, 08:02 AM

I took 3 weeks off from diligent tracking to see how I would do with food and exercise on my own. Conclusion: I do better with diligent tracking!!

I did manage, at some point, to get 2 pounds closer to my first goal weight. However, I started this morning with fresh measurements and weighing; and I see I'm back to where I was before my 3-week "break". No real gains during that period overall, so that's not too bad.

I went ahead and changed my goal weight in the system from 170 to 167. I figure if I'm going to re-start then I might as well shoot for the weight I *really* want. I am 7.6 pounds from my goal.

I had been keeping track of my belly measurement through this whole experience, and that number has remained pretty steady......3.75 inches lost. This morning I added in my chest measurement and will track that as well.

So... *ding* *ding* Round 2!!!
