Annie: Weigh-in week 20

Well, I hope that's the last of the plateau for the next little while - that was mentally exhausting.

There are a few reasons I might have finally broken through this week:

1. I cut out all eating after 8pm, and focused on getting my PP in earlier in the day. As a likely consequence, I felt even hungrier than usual, which may have led to...
2. I ate almost half my "weekly points allowance" over and above my daily allotment; this may have jump-started the metabolism after weeks of barely eating any of them?
3. I was in America for 2 days, during which time I ate in restaurants; while I didn't eat as much volume as I normally do (because of the PP), I figure what I was eating was likely higher in fat than I normally eat - which could have had the same effect as #2, above.
4. I may have finally outlasted the impact of the abandoned diuretic; maybe my water stores are back in balance. Or,
5. Maybe I had just done my time, and the plateau would have ended without any of the above.

Either way, I don't care.

Oh, and it sure feels good to see the "still remaining" number smaller than the "lost so far" number, regardless of how big the "still remaining" number is!

Loss this week: 4
Lost so far: 52.6
Still remaining: 47.4
Activity points earned this week: 20
Weeks to go: 32

Annie: weigh-in week 17

The Faithful Mo was wondering whether I might hit the 50 lb mark this week - not yet...

Officially, anyway!

I say it's not "official" because, in fact, my starting weight on this program wasn't my all-time high: my all-time high was about a month earlier, when I weighed 2.7 lbs more than I did on Thanksgiving.

It was likely water weight, but whatever: from that date, I have lost exactly 50 lbs.

:o)

I'm looking forward to making it "official," too - hopefully in the next couple of weeks!

Loss this week: 2.2
Lost so far: 47.7
Still remaining: 52.3
