Weekly Weigh-in #24: Home Again

After my business trip to Berlin last week I was a little worried that my weight loss might suffer a set back. I had to use the scale at the hotel overseas and I wasn't 100 percent sure how accurate it would be compared to the scale that Mrs. and I use at home.

Well, with all things said and done the scale in Germany must have been reasonably close to correct because Susan and I are both still on track for our long-term weight loss. Neither of us had amazing weight loss numbers this week, but we're still dropping the pounds.

Jay
Starting weight: 301 pounds
Current weight: 254 pounds
Pounds lost this week: 1 pound
Total pounds lost: 47 pounds

Susan
Starting weight: 238 pounds
Current weight: 197 pounds
Pounds lost this week: 0.5 pound
Total pounds lost: 41 pounds

Mrs. and I plan to focus on watching our calories and putting more effort into our daily exercise. I'm sure that both of us would love to drop multiple pounds at the next weigh-in. This half or one pound weight loss doesn't exactly help motivate us the way that losing three or more pounds does.

Of course, it took many years for Susan and I to put on all this weight ... we don't expect to reach our goal weight in just a couple of months. We're proud of the work we've managed to do and we've got even more to do in the months ahead. Keep up your personal exercise and nutrition plans as well.
