Approximately 7 weeks to go until my birthday: which is approximately 17.5 pounds. I would say that my weighted average weight this week is roughly 250 (or 251). Theoretically I could be down to 232.5. So the potential rate is 1 pound per week, to perhaps 2 as much as 2.5 pounds.
1 x 7 = 7 pounds; (243)
1.5x7 = 10.5 pounds; (239.5)
2x7 = 14 pounds; (236)
2.5x7= 17.5 pounds (232.5).
Therefore, a good median goal would be 236; 243 works. And 232.5 is a phenomenal performance.
In fact, I came in from swimming tonight and weighed myself (admittedly, I did so by pushing my feet around the edge of the scale and essentially pushing the sides of the scale toward the center. . . amazing I can register up to a 10 pound swing if I work it hard (230 vs. 240 recently). Well, after workout tonight I weighed 225 pounds. So, looks like I have achieved "phenomenal" performance. Oddly, though, it doesn't feel phenomenol, despite being able to fit into jeans that I haven't work in several years.
But the truth is, I checked this morning, on 01-0x-2004, I weighed 274 pounds. I'm now 50 pounds lighter than I was while in the middle of school last year. That's a very good thing.
I celebrate in heading downward in weight -- but I'm still frustrated by my actual appearance. Thankfully, the weight keeps coming off smoothly and regularly, so there's little to actually complain about.
