Oh, but I want to count those chickens

I feel like I’m sort of starting to get it together.

Weighed in at the Dr.’s office at 276 today.  She said I’m down 35 lbs since I started seeing her (@ 2 years ago).  Certainly that’s much slower weight loss than I would hope for, but I am SO PROUD that the yo-yoing seems to have stopped.    Over this time I’ve gained bits of it back,  but no more than 7-8 lbs, and I’m back toward the lower end.    Now is where the difficulty begins.  275 seems to be one of those “set points” for me.  It’s really hard for me to move beyond.  I’ll occasionally make it down to about 272, but then bounce back up.  I am determined to make it happen this time.

I started WW on line on May 23.  I have logged every bite of food I’ve taken, and I’ve stayed within points the entire time .  I don’t know how much I lost the first week because I guessed at my starting weight and so the log shows a 2.4 lb. gain for that week.  But I lost 1.2 lbs week 2, and 3.2 lbs last week.  I’d give anything to drop below 275 when I weigh in on Monday, and I feel like I might be able to do it!

Blood pressure was 114/82 this morning.  Pretty impressive!

I think that will do it I had a lot I thought I wanted to write but it’s not happening and I’m not inclined to push it.  But I did want to record my health progress.  It’s major!
