I will weigh myself every 2 weeks on Sundays. My goal is to lose 2.5 pounds every 2 weeks (1.25 a week). I don’t have my specific weight from March 1st but I have the one from February 15th (4 weeks ago). At the time, I was at 208 lbs. So for today to be a day I can declare as successful, I have to be less than 203 lbs. What is my weight this morning?
196.8 Lbs
This is a loss of 11.2 lbs in 4 weeks, it's more than double my intended goal. I’m extremely happy however I think I lost a lot of liquid with all the walking of the past 3 days, I will be expecting in the next Weight day to lose less than 2.5 pounds. I know it’s easier to lose weight in the beginning. I’m conscious it will be more difficult in the future.
Nothing unexpected happened yet and now I’m building-up a little safe zone for when it will slow down. Next week, once I’m back in Florida, I’ll set a maximum of calories I want to eat in a day and will start eating accordingly.
I will also report on my weight when I reach a certain milestone. Those are the days where you will see a picture of my toes on a scale. The next Milestone is 195 lbs (It will be 20 pounds total since I started this health journey) and at 191 lbs when my BMI will be less than 30 (I will only be overweight). Hey anytime I feel it’s worth bragging about, it is a perfect time to post it.
As part of my celebration, I’ll go out and steps a couple thousand times :)
I’m still stepping up to my Vivofit, 18,782 steps to be exact. Is anyone else doing great? Anyone needs a pep talk? It’s not because it’s the weekend that no one is watching you! (StalkerRUs)
I like to dedicate this song to my fat!
"These boots are made for walking"
So many pounds lost! Where did they go? We don't care, they can stay lost! :D

Thank you, That is right WWE they are lost, I should put pictures of my fat every where with a caption: "Missing if found please do NOT return to Richard!"
DeleteHahaha...a song dedicated to your fat! Love that. Congratulations on the weight loss. You are doing great.
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha, if I had knew it was so easy to lose weight, I wouldn't have wait 55 years to do so. LOL
DeleteSo well done Richard ....
ReplyDeleteOur feet, boots, shoes are just made for walking.
Have a good week
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan, I am taking full advantage of their purposes. :)
DeleteYou have a good week too.
I am happy for you Richard. To loose very slowly is the best. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and a great walk.
Choco
Thanks Choco (Mousse), right now, it's losing too fast, I'll fix that soon.
DeleteI'm just back from a second walk today, I hope you are keeping up walking on your side?
Walking like you are doing will make you loose faster I think. Anyway, like you said, at the beginning we loose alot of water.
DeleteOn my side, I go out every day, walk around a bit with my dogs, training my little one for her "poupou" an also to stay near me an not go out of the drive-way. Just to take some fresh air feels good I find.
Unfortunately you can just dream about a Choco mousse...ah ah ah.
Thanks for keeping an eye on me, feels good.
*smile*
Mouse I walk a lot but it doesn't seem like I'm getting any where :)
DeleteI'm so happy you go out, keep it up, don't do too much until you get some answers but a nice slow short walk can't hurt you.
I wear glasses so I see everything ha ha ha
Will you keep writing about your health and your progress when you guys arrive in Florida ?
DeleteI sure hope so ? So much fun and interesting to read your every day post on your health and everything you do to obtain results.
At the same time I will keep you informed of my health and my tests results ?
Deal ?
It's a deal Choco, it was not my intention of stopping. I might skip a day here and then.
DeleteWoohoo. Good on ya'. This is exciting stuff.
ReplyDeleteIf it get anymore exciting than this, I might need a strait jacket! LOL
DeleteGreat job!! Enjoy your success.
