I have not talked much about my weight loss programme lately. Somewhere down below I mentioned that we are doing Weight Watchers again. Here is my latest chart:
As you can see, I’ve lost 20.8 pounds since the beginning of the programme. However, that still leaves me a few pounds short of where I started the first time we did Weight Watchers, which was somewhere around 254 pounds (coincidentally, close to my 10% goal weight this time). But still…20.8 pounds!
Sally has also lost 21 pounds so far. Basically between us we have lost a two-year-old.
Once I get to the 252.6 pound goal, I’m probably still looking at around 70 pounds to go. The charts say I should weigh around 160 pounds, but I call bullshit. When I graduated from high school I weighed 180, and I was not fat, except maybe in the head because I was 18 and knew everything. On the other hand, I was climbing in and out of peoples’ crawl spaces and attics doing HVAC and electrical work in those days, too. That’s a little different from sitting at a desk piloting a computer all day.
The first time we did this, I got down to 213 and got stuck. And frankly I did not feel all that badly about 213. But I’d like to get back down below 200, this time.
And then STAY THERE.
