Weekly Weigh-in #55: Iced In

It may be raining ice outside -- preventing us from going to work or anywhere else -- but we weighed in, dammit! After skipping last week due to Mr. being out of town (again) and Mrs. lacking the courage to do it alone, we are back on the scale and ready to face the music.

Jay
Starting weight: 301 pounds
Current weight: 261 pounds
Pounds lost this week: 0 pound
Total pounds lost: 40 pounds

Susan
Starting weight: 238 pounds
Current weight: 178 pounds
Pounds lost this week: 1 pound
Total pounds lost: 60 pounds

I like this weigh-in, not only because I lost a pound (yay!), but also because we're at that nice, even 100-pound loss mark. Maybe it's the Adrian Monk in me, but I like a perfect number. And I also love being able to tell people, "My husband and I have lost 100 pounds!" and not just be rounding up.

Mr. is not pleased with his continued plateau (he's been hovering around this weight for a while now) but I'm at least happy that he isn't gaining. He wants to concentrate more on nutrition, avoiding large quantities of foods that are more fun than fuel. And even though there's no way we're going anywhere today, we can always exercise at home. A sure way to get more pounds off and not go too stir-crazy!

P.S. The picture here is of our daughter swinging in the snow yesterday. Today, I think it'll be an "inside day." Thank God for Noggin!
