Weigh in

Posted on March 10th, 2008 by AndrewE

If you're new here, you may want to get my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! I couldn't do this without the help of my commenters!

Today I weighed in at 102.8 kg (227 pounds) which is a loss of 1.6 kg (3.5 pounds) this week. I’m not too sure why I am losing weight so fast but I’ll blame it on the running.

I’ve achieved a few milestones this week:

1. I got my bmi under 30 so am now overweight and not obese. Some people have found it funny that I am celebrating being overweight.

2. I hit 80 pounds lost this week. That’s quite a a bit of butter.

3. I did a measure up this week and my waist to hip ratio is now within the healthy range.

Overall, some great results. For some reason, I always find it easier to stick to a healthy lifestyle when I’m seeing results as I’m sure most people do.

Well done Andrew!

Like you say… once you start seeing results, even better ones are just around the corner!

“I always find it easier to stick to a healthy lifestyle when Iâ€™m seeing results” - yeah, me too, which is why it’s been real hard recently.

You, however, are doing swimmingly.

Nice, nice numbers all around, Andrew! I *do* understand the celebration of moving from obese to overweight as I recently did the same. It’s the same feeling I got when my trainers moved me from ‘well below average’ to ‘average’ on push-ups.

Congrats and keep up the great work!

I’ve never seen that hips to waist thing. Will have to give that a try.
