Here's that chart again...

Weigh-In: 11/14/08

Goal weight: 153 lbs.
Actual weight: 165.0 lbs.

Goal loss since last week: 1 lb.
Actual gain/loss since last week: 0.5 lbs. lost

Analysis:
I still haven't decided what to do about the fact that I'm clearly not losing weight fast enough at this point to make my Christmas goal. As I get closer and closer to my body's healthy weight, it is getting harder and harder to lose a lot of weight each week. Even when I am very strict on my diet and go to the gym several times, I can only seem to manage about a pound each week.

Weigh-In: 11/07/08

Goal weight: 154 lbs.
Actual weight: 165.5 lbs.

Goal loss since last week: 1 lb.
Actual gain/loss since last week: 1.0 lbs. lost

Analysis:
I'm continuing to lose weight, but I don't think it will be fast enough to reach my Christmas goal. :( I'm not sure what to do about that yet. Set a new goal? Modify the current goal?

Weigh-In: 10/31/08

Happy Halloween! :)

Goal weight: 155 lbs.
Actual weight: 166.5 lbs.

Goal loss since last week: 1 lb.
Actual gain/loss since last week: 1.5 lbs. lost

Analysis:
I'm glad to see that I'm back on a losing trend. But, it's hard to see that the gain I had a couple of weeks ago set me back so far. I'm back to the same weight that I was about 7-8 weeks ago. Hopefully I'll be able to continue to lose and not have any more gain-weeks. (at least until Thanksgiving...)

And here's the chart...

Weigh-In: 10/24/08

Goal weight: 156 lbs.
Actual weight: 168 lbs.

Goal loss since last week: 1 lbs.
Actual gain/loss since last week: 2.0 lbs. lost

Analysis: Well, at least I'm losing again. It's always amazing to me how easy it is to gain 4 pounds in a week, but it would be near impossible to lose that much in a week (the closer you get to your healthy weight). I'm SICK of this stupid diet. And the setbacks are REALLY hard. They really affect my motivation... I start thinking, "What's the point?... Even if I try hard all week, I can still gain weight!". Gotta gather up whatever gumption I have I guess...

Weigh-In: 10/17/08

Goal weight: 157 lbs.
Actual weight: 169.5 lbs.

Goal loss since last week: 1 lbs.
Actual gain/loss since last week: 4.0 lbs. GAINED

Analysis: AAAAAAAAAACK! What happened????? I was on my diet and went to the gym twice! How could I gain four pounds in a single week while still dieting???? Muscle gain? Or is my body changing metabolism in an attempt to reach a new set point? I was so depressed it has taken me this long to post the results in this blog. I wanted to post after being back on a loss...
