Weigh in 12 - minor disappointment

Start weight: 178.8 kg (394.2 lbs)
Last week's weight: 158.2 kg (348.8 lbs)
Current weight: 157.4 kg (347 lbs)
Loss this week: 0.8 kg (1.8 lbs)
Overall loss: 21.4 kg (47.2 lbs)
Start BMI: 56.4
Last week's BMI: 49.9
Current BMI: 49.7

So for the first time in this whole journey, my weight loss is below 1 kg for the week. I'm not very happy about that. However, that is no reason to give up or give in. Rome wasn't built in a day. Slow and steady wins the race. And other proverbs that may help.

OK, I missed my normal posting yesterday, but I did take the photos at the normal time.

Routine

I feel a wee bit in a rut, blogging wise. I have my profile shots and my weigh-in days, and usually nothing more to say than that. After all, once you get into a routine in losing weight, there's not a lot to say. Especially when you have yet to start mixing things up with an exercise programme. Still I am proud of myself and I am constantly reflecting on my progress. Things seem to be a little easier now.

Yes! I have hit the 20 kg milestone. I am a third of my way towards my goal for 2013. In addition, my BMI has dropped below 50 and I have broken through the 350 lb mark. It feels so good to have come so far. Don't stop me now.

I went to the doctor today. I don't want to discuss why, but I'm fine. I took the opportunity to have my blood pressure checked. 125/80. Normal range, according to the Doc. Google says it's a little high. Not bad, just a "you could do better", I guess. I would hazard to say it was worse a couple of months ago.

I'm still here

This silence over the past few days doesn't mean I've fallen off the wagon.

I'm posting this from my ipad, so the formating is a little out of whack compared to my normal weigh in posts. Sorry about that. But look at those numbers. This week I find myself in the 150s. I don't ever want to be in the 160s ever again and I am glad I made my way through them relatively rapidly and without incident.

A two kilo loss in one week is excellent. It looks like I'm alternating between modest loss and major loss week by week. I'm one kilo away from the 20 kg milestone. Hopefully that will happen next Sunday. 10 weeks in and I am seeing rapid progress. I'm really pleased about that.
