Weigh-In, Week Two

After about a week of dieting, I was a little nervous about weighing in this morning.



At 179.5, it turns out those fears were unfounded. I lost 2.5 pounds this week, and I'm really happy about that.



I'll try to get more sophisticated about a graph when I have a few more data points to enter. Right now I've lost 4% of the weight I want to lose. 59.5 pounds to go.

I made a weight loss ticker thing too, though it won't be accurate after I enter new data each week. Oh well.




My mother lost 5 pounds, which I found rather remarkable. At first she shrugged it off saying she had a lot more to lose, but then she started theorizing about how she must have eaten more vegetables or been more active. I also know that I'm supposed to get my period this week, so I'm retaining water a little and my metabolism always gets sluggish this time in the month. I have to remember it's not a contest - I'm really happy to lose at all!
