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[*1] , 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.)
