Diet Update

Posted to Diet category

35 lbs lost so far, averaging 3.5 lbs a week.

End of week 10, starting to lose again. Actually it's 263.4 lbs, so only -1.6 lbs. I got a new scale last week, I was using an older analog scale, this one's a fancy self zeroing digital scale, so it measures partial pounds. My friend Chuck must have a fancy digital scale too as he posts his weight lost to the first decimal point. I'm going to continue to round up/down as it makes me feel like I'm losing more weight.

The new scale also seems more in line with the doctor's scale. On my old scale I'm 261 this morning. This is going to throw off the average per week.

My next barrier in my weight loss is clothes. I was wearing 3X shirts and size 48 pants. I am now down to XL and size 42. I have a bunch of size 42 jeans, and a lot of shirts between 3X and XL. I have no clothes smaller, especially dress clothes. My current contract encourages business casual, I had been wearing slacks and polo shirts with the occasional button down shirt, (I have no idea what official names for clothes are, I wear what Sukki has me buy). I'm out of dress pants that fit, but have a bunch of like new jeans. I can probably wear these for the next few weeks, but if I keep losing weight I'll need to go buy clothes. The shirts are easier, I can still wear a 3X and tuck in the excess material. I guess it's a good problem to have.

Or I can start eating ice cream again, to save money.
