At long last, I finally hit the 20 pound mark

It feels like I’ve been sitting at a 18-19 pound loss forever.  But finally, I crossed the 20 pound mark today when I weighed in at 192.6.  You can see from the graph below that my weight loss has slowed down even though I am not doing anything differently.  From what I understand, this is normal and a sign that I am getting healthier, because my body has adjusted to the lower caloric intake.  I’m averaging 2.2 pounds lost per week, so I guess I shouldn’t complain.

My next short-term goal is 185 pounds, which would bring my BMI from the “obese” range to the “overweight” range. My long term goal is 154 pounds, which would bring my BMI into the normal range.  I am still unsure if this is even possible, because I didn’t even weigh 155 after a summer of drum corps!

Here are my summary stats so far:

Timespan 66 Days
Beginning Weight 213.2 lbs.
Target Weight  154 lbs.
Current Weight 192.6 lbs.
Weight Left to Lose 38.6 lbs.
WEIGHT LOST 20.6 lbs.
