Benchmark February 25

New weight: 160

Inches lost: .5

The inches thing is sort of discouraging but I’m glad to see the weight number still going down. Yay!

I kinda suspect the number may go back up in the next few days as I readjust to my normal eating habits (alchohol tends to have a dehydrating effect!)

I actually started dieting January 10 with a starting weight of 176.4. The last time I took my weight was June 2007 and I was 161- it’s taken me 6 weeks of hard work to undo all the damage I’ve done in less than a year! I tell you, when you start to slide it doesn’t take long to pack on the pounds.

My total weight lost (for the year, not for this contest) is 16.4 pounds in 6 weeks or  about 2.75 pounds a week. I’m still on track to be bathing-suit ready by June.
