The Chart: Actual Weight Compared to Goal Weight



Here's the updated chart. Uh-oh... my lines look like they're going to cross in a few weeks. I better step up the program.

Weigh-In: 06/27/08

Goal weight: 189 lbs.
Actual weight: 178.5 lbs.

Goal loss since last week: 3 lbs.
Actual gain/loss since last week: 1.5 lbs. lost

Analysis: Well, I finally broke below 180. That's encouraging. This coming week I'm really going to focus on getting some additional exercise, instead of just walking. I'm healthy enough now that I should be able to do some aerobic activity, weights, and stretches.

Weigh-In: 06/20/08

Goal weight: 192 lbs.
Actual weight: 180 lbs.

Goal loss since last week: 3 lbs.
Actual gain/loss since last week: 1.0 lbs. lost

Analysis: I did better on the diet this week than last week, but again, the heat and humidity prevented outdoor exercise. I need to figure out a better way to get some exercise indoors. This week was also tough because I'm potty training Anna, and that has required constant attention and vigilance!

Weigh-In: 06/13/08

Goal weight: 195 lbs.
Actual weight: 181.0 lbs.

Goal loss since last week: 3 lbs.
Actual gain/loss since last week: 0.5 lbs. GAINED! Ugh!

Analysis: Well, clearly a week at my parents' house is not good for the ol' diet! Mom cooked some great meals and desserts, and I drank ginger ale instead of water all week. Plus, it was very hot, muggy, and buggy, which prevented exercise outdoors.

Weigh-In: 06/06/2008

Goal weight: 198 lbs.
Actual weight: 180.5 lbs.

Goal loss since last week: 4 lbs.
Actual gain/loss since last week: 0.5 lbs. lost

Analysis: I did a moderate amount of exercise this week, in spite of the oppressive heat wave that has hit our region. I also did reasonably well on my diet. So, I expected to lose more than just a half a pound this week. Oh well, I'll keep at it and hope for better results next week.
