Weekly Weigh-In, Oh Yeah I WAS Doing This Wasn't I? Edition

[the_gneech]

Between hospital trips and sick cats and... ugh. SO MANY THINGS... there just wasn't the mental bandwidth for tracking this stuff recently.

The good news is, the healthier lifestyle was trucking along on autopilot. New weight: 276.2 lbs, down 3.4 lbs from last week, total weight lost 42.8 lbs, average 0.8 lbs/week.

I am right about at the one year mark from when I started Weight Watchers: AnthroCon last year was my first big test. I admit, I was hoping to have made more progress by now; but given how resistant my body has been to losing weight, and the damn yo-yo nature of most weight loss attempts by just about everyone, I'm going to look at the fact that I haven't stalled or regained the weight as a victory.

Onward we march. :)

Slow and steady wins the race. (and other similar platitudes)

But really, doing it slowly, making gradual changes that stick like you're doing. Really the way to go. Otherwise it's a whole deprivation-binge-guilt cycle waiting to happen.

Grats!

I seem to have missed the hospital part o.O Hope everything's okay?

As UsagiW said, losing weight slowly is supposedly the best way to ensure it stays off; 1 pound a week is perfectly fine (that's pretty much what I got), and you're pretty close to that! This is why Biggest Loser winners never lsat.

As all have said.. Slowly is good!

p.s. .....have you tried the addition of refraining from food (only water) within 5 hours of going to bed? I know for a fact this worked wonders for another person, and is generally safe, and might be combined with your program... could add a pound or two to the losing, still without going too fast.
