I changed my diet/eating lifestyle on May 12, 2019. Since then, I've lost twenty-eight pounds. I am going to push two more pounds within the next six days. I will probably be even further along than that. For the last few weeks I've only lost small amounts. As with everyone, my bodyweight fluctuates. I watch these fluctuations and record the lower side of them as they occur.
While this isn't the most honest reporting of my weight, it seems to keep me heading in the right direction. So right now I'm at 229.9 pounds, but two days ago I was at my upper side of the fluctuation which was 234.5 pounds. This is a pretty big variance, but it's normal. That is the highest my weight will be over the next week. After this week, my upper weight will probably be more like 232, with a low end of 225 or so.
This seems to make me push myself to move down. If I was watching the upper number, I wouldn't be able to set new goals for the coming days. I wouldn't see the improvements over time. I track my weight via my Fitbit app. I have a sharp descending graph for my weight. So within a few days, I'll be at thirty pounds since I started this three months ago. That means that I'm losing about ten pounds every month, which is a very healthy weight loss. Most of that weight has been fat. I've retained most of my lean muscle mass. I've tracked that with my scale and Fitbit app. I've lost around five pounds of muscle. All the rest of the weight was fat. I'm very proud of these numbers.
