Weekly Weigh-in #10: Triple Fives

This week marks yet another modest success on our gradual road to getting fit. Once again, Mr. and Mrs. managed to drop a few pounds by following the guiding principles that we established for ourselves late last year. Granted, we didn't lose jaw-dropping numbers but our weight loss has been relatively constant and healthy.

Exactly how much did we lose? Alright. Enough with the mystery. Here are the numbers:

Jay
Starting weight: 301 pounds
Current weight: 269 pounds
Pounds lost this week: 2 pounds
Total pounds lost: 32 pounds

Susan
Starting weight: 238 pounds
Current weight: 214 pounds
Pounds lost this week: 0.5 pounds
Total pounds lost: 24 pounds

Together we've lost a total of 55.5 pounds as a couple! We probably couldn't replicate three numbers in a row like that again if we tried.

Susan and I managed to exercise at least 30 minutes every day but we both made a few bad meal choices over the last week. I allowed hunger to get the better of me and ate an entire frozen pizza (although it was a relatively low-calorie pizza). Susan forgot to count calories this week and ate a few more snacks than she needed.

Combined, we only have 143 pounds to lose before we both reach our goal weights. The number might sound big, but it keeps getting smaller every week.
