Last week's weight: 142.8 kg (314.8 lbs)
Current weight: 141.5 kg (312 lbs)
Loss this week: 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs)
Overall loss: 37.3 kg (82.2 lbs)
Start BMI: 56.4
Last week's BMI: 45.1
Current BMI: 44.7
Believe or not, this is absolutely splendid. My BMI has dropped below 45, so I am now no longer a super obese man, just a morbidly obese one. Now by the sounds of things, that doesn't sound so fantastic, but this is indicative of tangible, real progress in my weight loss. I must confess I hoped to be at 141.3 or better, so I would be halfway through Phase III, but I shall achieve that next week.
I think this is a particularly good result given I went out to dinner on Sunday night last week to celebrate my sister's birthday. I even had some dessert - cheesecake. Part of the way I'm approaching food now is to treat celebratory food as it was originally intended: as part of celebrations, not daily life.
There are two more weigh-ins this month and I'm confident that I'll reach the 130s by July. I'm doing far better than I expected for 5 1/2 months into this journey.
