    Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 260.8 | -4.0 | -112.2 I’m maintaining my 2 lb/wk rate, more or less, though it’s been a little erratic — for example, almost no loss last week, four pounds this one. That’s odd. The next month will be a challenge because I’ll be…

    Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 267.0 | -1.4 | -106.0 Not much of note here. I’ve really given up predicting the details of my weight change. I don’t know why it dropped off some, but that can apparently happen. Anyway, I’m still pretty happy with where I am.

    I’ve been bouncing around some.  But I finally broke the 100-pound mark. Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 271.0 | -6.6 | -102.0 NB: I’ve recalibrated a bit here to use the original weight as measured by PWMC (373 lbs), since that’s where I’m getting my weekly numbers. Six months…

    Wow, it’s been a while since I updated this. No particular reason — I guess I just got distracted. Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 277.2 | -1.4 | -91.2 It’s more than a little odd, as my numbers don’t seem to be tied to what I actually do during…

    Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 284.8 | -8.0 | -83.6 A pretty good week for me… which is baffling, as I have not (as far as I know) done anything materially different in any of the past three weeks, but my weight loss has fluctuated wildly.  Odd.   It’s…

    Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 294.8 | -9.2 | -73.6 Blood Pressure | Systolic | Diastolic * | 130 | 90 From a weight-loss perspective, this was a very good week: nearly ten pounds. But of course, given the spike upward last week, that just about puts me where…

    Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 304.0 | +4 | -64.4 This is the first week in which I’ve gained, rather than lost weight, and it’s a simple morality tale: It’s also the first week in which I went “out of the box” a significant amount. While at Lunacon, I…

    There’s no Week 14 not because I’m a time traveler who skipped forward 7 days but because I went off to Chicago and didn’t get around to an update. 🙂 Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 300.0 | -2.6 | -68.4 The past couple of weeks have been good ones.…

    Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 307.0 | -3.6 | -61.4 Blood Pressure | Systolic | Diastolic * | 112 | 74 My weight loss is a little less than last week but certainly satisfactory at nearly 4 lbs. I suspect that rate isn’t entirely sustainable but I’ll take what…

    Weight this week | Change since last week | Total change 310.6 | -6.6 | -57.8 Blood Pressure | Systolic | Diastolic * | 112 | 86 It seems I’m back on track. I primarily credit the recalibration of my physical activity, which means I’m doing more. I’ve been forcing myself to go a little…
