Sunday numbers

It was such a pleasure to see this number on my scales this morning. I mean, I've got so far to go, but I've already made some quick progress down this path. 

Start weight: 178.8 kg (394.2 lbs)
Last week's weight: 173.9 kg (383.4 lbs)
Current weight: 171.4 kg (377.9 lbs)
Loss this week: 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs)
Overall loss: 7.4 kg (16.3 lbs)
Start BMI: 56.4
Last week's BMI: 54.9
Current BMI: 54.1


So poundwise, I blasted through the 380s and find myself now in the 370s. Using different measuring systems is good like that. You find yourself in the next block of 10 pounds, or 5 kg is down, you go down a digit in BMI. You can even think in terms of percentages. You'll notice I haven't been setting targets, because I can't accurately predict what my efforts will do for the pace of my loss. If I hit an overall loss of 9 kg next week, that will be 5% of my starting weight gone, which is a nice little chunk.
