Five Months Out....64 Pounds Down

Nov 01, 2011

So for the past couple of months I have been losing at a rate of 8 pounds per month (ppm), or 2 pounds per week. I guess that's a good healthy way to do it, but like I said last month, I thought it would come off a little faster during the first six months. To each his own rate of loss, I guess.

I'm not doing much better in the "making good choices" thing, as evidenced by the slice of Whole Wheat crust pizza I just ate for lunch. It's a better choice than the 2 slices of regular pizza I used to consume, but I need to wrap my brain around the fact that pizza in general is not a good choice. Period. Sigh. Someday...  Right now I'm still a bit weak. But I'm working on it!

So my progress is 64 pounds lost since surgery and 78 pounds lost total. I have 50 more pounds to go until goal.  At 5 months out, I'm still at a weight loss rate of 12.8ppm (post-op pounds) overall so I am very happy with that. 

This month I am going to focus on getting more exercise to up the 8ppm rate at which I have been losing for the past two months. I had set myself a goal to lose 100 pounds by the end of the year and I am 22 pounds away. That's 11ppm. For those of you who are counting, that means if I continue to lose at the current 8ppm rate, I'll only lose 16 pounds. I need to step it up to work off the additional 6 pounds in the next two months. 

I have my plans. I have my goals. I need to focus my mind on achieving it!  Happy November Everyone!
