Yikes, my posting has really slowed down over the last couple of weeks. I’m not giving up on the blog, I just haven’t felt very motivated to write lately. I’m not exactly sure why, I guess I’m just in a quiet phase of the long battle with weight and debt and nothing really noteworthy has come up lately. On the bright side, I have lots of post ideas and topics that I want to write about so I just need to sit down and get to work for a little while. That being said, I do have positive progress to report this week, so on to the good news…

Current weight: 247.2 pounds

Weight lost since starting the blog: 18.8 pounds

Progress since starting with the new scale: -6.8 pounds, -0.7% body fat, -0.9 BMI

I started last week with very little motivation and I was comfortable being lazy after finally getting over my cold. Finally I convinced myself to wake up early and exercise and I got back on track. I exercised 3 days last week, all of which came at the end of the week, but I feel re-energized and ready to keep it up again. I also did pretty well with my diet, only messing up on a few meals during the week, and overall I followed a mostly healthy meal plan. I am close to reaching the 20 pound mark so I’m going to push for that this week.

*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.
