That's more like it. After a three-week stall, I weighed in today with a 10.5 pound loss for the week. 231.3 pounds. Since my first initial visit with Dr. Tague at the Center for Nutrition, I've lost 47.7 pounds from the 279 pounds I started with.
Woo. And Hoo. And I did the math correctly this week, too.
I was getting a little nervous about making 230 by Halloween. I think I've got a pretty good shot at it, now. I'm off all of the blood pressure medications for now--we'll see how that goes, but I'm hopeful that I'm off of them for good--or at least for a good long while.
Anyway, I had my third "body composition analysis" this week. The numbers are really, really good:
| Today, October 24th | August 11th | Difference | |
| Weight: | 231.3 lbs | 274.5 lbs ** | -43.2 |
| Lean body mass | 167.6 lbs | 177.0 lbs | -9.4 |
| Body fat mass | 63.7 lbs | 97.5 lbs | -33.8 |
| Body mass index (BMI) | 31.1 | 36.9 | -5.8 |
| Percent body fat | 27.5% | 35.4% | -7.9% |
** Yes, I gained 5.5 pounds in the week from my first Body Composition Analysis (274.5 pounds) to my first visit with the doctor (279.0 pounds). A last fling, of sorts.
Oh, yeah. I got another ribbon--my 40-pound ribbon. (Snookums likes the ribbons.)
