Chronicles of a Late Bloomer

Starting weight: 335.8
Last week: 313.5
This week: 311.7
Change this week: -1.8
Overall change: -24.1
Next milestone: 25 pounds gone

I don’t want to get too excited here, but one of my morning weigh-ins¹ this week was well into the 300-plus-single-digit range. I’ve been over 300 pounds since I was 18 or so, and the lowest I ever got was during my 2004 Weight Watchers attempt when I reached 304.2 pounds and then crept back up to 340. I’ve never crossed the 300-pound threshhold in my adult life and I’m looking forward to that.

300-plus-single-digit is sort of exciting because it brings that goal into focus, along with a few others. Like, I’m annoyed that my Next Milestone goal has been “25 pounds gone” for so long. Soon, it will be mine.
