-18.2 pounds as of this morning, down to 274.7.
I could wish it were more, but actually, I’m losing at a fairly healthy rate. It’s been 53 days, so that works out to about a pound every 3 days, or about 2.4 pounds per week. And that ain’t hay. According to the CDC, “[E]vidence shows that people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off.” Which is the same thing Weight Watchers says.
I kind of dread going off the phentermine, but that won’t happen until late May, and by then I hope I can get a diagnosis of ADHD and something to deal with that, which might also help bag the snacking impulse like the phentermine does. Because that’s why I’m losing weight — I just don’t eat much during the day anymore.
Anyway, so far, so good.
