Continued Progress

The new treadmill is good. So are my new numbers.

Current weighted average chart:



Weight
5-day weighted averages
Week ended / weight / body fat %
01.02.2005 / divby0
01.09.2005 / 257.0 / 36.8
01.16.2005 / 252.3 / 34.6
01.23.2005 / 251.9 / 29.1
01.30.2005 / 248.0 / 31.5
02.05.2005 / 244.9 / 30.2
02.12.2005 / 246.4 / 30.1
02.20.2005 / 243.7 / 30.2

Therefore, I did, in fact, lose 2.7 pounds (on a weighted average basis) over the past week. This is right in line with the lose 2.5 pounds per week initial philosophy.

The fact that I actually saw "the 230s" twice this week is also motivational. Like it or not, every person trying to lose weight, looks at the numbers and considers them. I definitely consider my numbers (as you can see) on a methodical basis. I'll actually be "home" for my birthday (03-xx), and by that date the hope is to be 232 pounds (see 01-28-2005 post). Also, because I now weigh 243.7 (weighted 5 day), it means I need to lose an additional 10 pounds (weighted five days average) to get there. . . which is approximately 2.5 pounds per week. It can definitely be done. You are showing that to yourself everyday.

Every unfit person should go buy a treadmill today and walk whenever watching TV. . . or so I say :-).
