Weekly Weigh-in: It's Hot, I'm Not

Nothing like being 9 months pregnant in late June in the Midwest. It's gettin' hot in here! I'm just trying to stay in the AC as much as possible. Would be nice if these 90s-plus highs would go away, at least for a few days, to give me some outdoor walking time. Oh well.

So the weekly weight report is blah.

Jay (currently on a "break")
Starting weight: 301 pounds
Current weight: ??? pounds
Pounds lost this week: ? pounds
Total pounds lost: ? pounds

Susan
Starting weight: 238 pounds
Current weight: 207.5 pounds
Pounds lost this week: (1.5) pounds
Total pounds lost: 30.5 pounds


I don't have much to say about it, except 3 1/2 more weeks till baby! Let's get this party started.

In other news, I found this MSNBC article about "phantom fat" kind of interesting. It's about people who lose a bunch of weight but still feel like they're fat. Like they're so used to their bigger bodies, that can't quite adjust their mental image of themselves to a new, slimmer person.

To be honest, this hasn't been a problem for me. I absolutely loved the feeling of my body getting fitter, whether I was shopping for smaller sizes of clothes or just enjoying a little extra room in seats. But I can see how phantom fat could be an issue for some folks.
