As I said yesterday, I missed the month-ending goal by 1.6 lbs. However, it’s a new month with a new goal: 225.1 lbs. I’m five pounds away from completing the Halloween
challenge; I should have that knocked out by the beginning of October. The next
secondary goal is the 2/3rds mark, ≤ 210.2, which is only slightly above my year-end
goal; more than likely, the weigh-in that achieves one will achieve the other
as well. Already, I’m close to the weight range in which I spend most of my
twenties and thirties — still obese, but far less so than when I was in my
forties. (My ideal range is something I passed when I was a young teenager and
shorter than I am now.)
By the way, I didn’t tell you I have hypothyroidism. Not
taking your hypothyroid medication does make it harder to lose weight. That
partially (but not sufficiently) explains the period from 8/23 to about 9/6,
when my weight went back up and wouldn’t come down: I had run out of
levothyroxine and put off picking up the refills. No more of that.
Just shy of 70 pounds in seven months. That’s quite a feat,
no matter how you look at it. And it all began pretty much on a whim.
