Weight Loss :: January 2007

January 1, 2007:

THE GOOD:  I'm starting out this year slightly lower in weight than I did last year by about 7 pounds.  Just after midnight I weighed 215 pounds.

THE BAD:  I did not reach last year's goal of getting down to 190 pounds.  It was a stressful year and I too often found comfort in eating.  For my height, I'm still considered overweight.

THE UGLY:  Due to some recent medical appointments, I've suspected that my scale has been reading too low by about 8 pounds.  Today I bought a new scale and indeed the difference is about 8 pounds.  The new one reads heavier!

My New Year's resolution is the same as last year and get my weight down to 190 pounds.  As before I'll be following a low-carb routine, but not as strict as the Adkins diet that I followed in 2003 and 2004.

I'll be recording my progress below:

Previous Milestones

• 199 pounds or less would be considered a normal weight for me since I'm 6 feet 3 inches tall.

Notes

January 10, 2007:  I've been sick today and have had diarrhea.

January 11, 2007:  Losing 30 pounds in one year equates to losing 1 pound approximately every 12 days or approximately 0.6 pounds every week.

January 15, 2007:  I've measured my waist.  It is an unhealthy 41 inches!

January 31, 2007:  My average weight for the month of January was 218.45 pounds.

February 10, 2007:  This week has been stressful and I've not eaten well.  In addition I've had a head cold.
