Weigh-in, Feb 9

As I watch "The Biggest Loser," I realize that I didn't post this week. I know no one is reading, but I need to be accountable to myself and know that this information is publicly available:

Body Weight: 196.6 lbs.

Change since last week: -4.2lbs (Change in two weeks: -1lb)

Total Body Fat: 35.3%

Body composition: 69.4 lbs fat/127.2lbs lean

Total Body Water: 48.0%

Body Mass Index: 29.9

Total loss, 2009: -4.6lbs (Avg/wk: -.75lb/wk)


Exciting metrics:
- My BMI officially slid from Obese to Overweight! Ok, I did this before, on my other scale, before it went totally crazy and told me I weighed 60lbs. And there's a chance I could sneak back up, but don't plan on that, yo.
- It is crazy how much my weight has been fluctuating this year. When I look back at my weight charts for the last quarter of 2008, my weight loss was either steady or plateaued - I never had this up-and-down before! I guess it is a reminder that this is a long-term plan, not a quick fix ... therefore I need to stick with it, even when I'm up 3.2lbs in one week, because I can be down 4.6 the next.
- I think that's why I looked at the average lost in the past six weeks. If I can keep up a .75 loss weekly, I will make it to that next BMI range, from "Overweight" to "Healthy," by the end of 2009. A weekly loss of .75/wk will get me to 164 ... and so far I am 1.8lbs ahead of schedule.

Alright, that's it for now ... unless something fantastically motivating happens and I need to share!
