Stephen's Weekly Update- 8/24/2014

8/24/2014

Comments

 
Thanks to everyone who sent in encouraging words after last week's disappointing weigh-in.  I really appreciate the support, and I'm happy to serve as an example of perseverance for those of you who are plateauing with me. :-)

You may have noticed that I didn't post a new blog post this week.  This was not on purpose, but as I was writing my post for last week, I felt like I needed some extra time to do the subject justice. The topic? It's an analysis and possible explanation for my own weight loss plateaus.  Stay tuned later this week for the post.  Ok, here are this week's numbers....

Weekly Progress Numbers

Weight:


Starting Weight: 350 lbs
Last week's weight:  242.8 lbs

This week's weight: 242.4

This week's loss: .4 lbs
Total Weight Loss: 107.6 (31.0%)

Body Fat %:


Last Week: 25.1 %

This Week: 25.1 %

Difference: 0

Waist Measurement: (At Belly Button)


Last Week: 42.0 "

This Week: 42.0 "

Difference: 0

Note: I am measuring right at the belly button with no slack and I am not "sucking in" at all.  My current pants size is a 36 or 38 waist, but my official measurement is higher on the widest part of my waist.

Still holding steady....lol.


I told a friend at church this week that there are so many people out there that lose 100+ pounds, celebrate the end of their "diet", and then proceed to gain it all back.  Perhaps it's a blessing that I haven't reached my goal because it has helped me learn how to consistently maintain such a big loss over an extended time period.  


This has nothing to do with my upcoming post, but it is my own optimistic spin on my current struggles.


Thanks for stopping by today!
