Finally! It took about five weeks longer than it should have, but I finally broke through the 250 pound level. Amazingly, I weighed in this morning at 247.4 pounds. To be fair, I think that number deserves an asterisk (at least a small one) because I came down with a cold over the weekend and that likely decreased my weight somewhat artificially. That being said, I can take this new number as motivation and work extra hard this week to make sure I stay below 250 for good. I am also tantalizingly close to a total weight loss of 20 pounds so I want to try to push for that this week.
In addition to catching a cold, I also started moving toward my new exercise and diet plan over the past week. I didn’t exercise as much as I wanted to, but I did do a pretty good job with my diet. I am eating 5-6 small meals per day and I am making better choices- more details on my new plan coming soon.

*Note about this weight loss chart. When I started this blog I weighed 266 pounds and I was only tracking my pounds lost each week. On November 28, 2007 I started using a new scale that tracks body fat and more (the numbers you see above). I report the figures from that scale in these weekly posts and I still track my total pounds lost in the Weight Loss Goals section in the sidebar on my site.
