Chronicles of a Late Bloomer

Celebrating: Being 75 pounds lighter than when I first weighed myself in February. Having only 90 pounds left to lose before I cross into the “normal” BMI range. The fact that after nearly 2 weeks of hospitalization and a major recuperation effort, a return to eating normal food, and the Thanksgiving holiday, I still weighed under 280 pounds today. On top of that, I won my 50-pound award at Weight Watchers this morning. (Obviously, I had lost some weight before I joined.)

Grateful for: Friends, family, projects, creativity, my dogs, and my habit of re-orienting and re-focusing myself in autumn rather than at the New Year.

Starting weight: 354.6 pounds
Last week: 274.8
This week: 279.6
Change this week: +4.8
Total change: -75.0
Next milestone: 80 pounds gone
Current goal: Maintain under 289 by year end, 275 by Valentine’s Day

This week’s mantra: This is the week for renewal.
