Ok, I am doing this post as an example of why the Heller's recommend the daily wts and weekly avg to track weight loss. Today was the first day I sat down and really did the average. So far I have just been going by "pounds lost total" since starting and not really seeing the week to week results and thought I'd share this.

I started November 1st and still have 2 more days to avg in for this week but basically I am in this now a full 8 weeks. In the beginning I did not weigh and record daily so you will see I go by the average based off the info I did record.

Week 1- 235

Week 2- 231 229 (-5 lbs)

Week 3- 228 (-1 lb)

Week 4- 227 226 (-1.5 lbs)

Week 5- 225 227 228 225 (-0.25 lbs)

Week 6- 225 225 225.5 225.5 225 224 223.5 (-1.5 lbs)

Week 7- 224 224 224 224 224 223 (-1 lb)

Week 8- 224 225 224.5 224.5 224 224 224 (+ 0.5 lb)

Week 9- 222 224 225 222.5 223 (-1 lb)



So you can see other than that one "blip" of a 1/2 lb gain, I have been consistently losing! This really does work

I also posted my measurements before:

20 days in to it I lost 2 in off my bust, 2.5 in off my waist, 2.5 in off my hips, 1 in off my thighs, biceps no change.

30 days in to it I lost another inch off my waist for a total of 3.5 inches, another 1/2 inch off my hips for a total of 3 inches, and 1/2 inch off my biceps.

54 days in no changes except I lost another half inch off my biceps for a total of 1 inch lost.

Do both weight and measurements to keep track so you won't get discouraged!

Today in 8 weeks overall I am averaging 1.5 lbs a week in loss (down 12 lbs), I am down a whopping 3.5 inches off my waist (very minimal exercising almost non-existant compared to my normal routines).

P.S.- remember the gal I met at Winter Solstice breakfast who lost 80 pounds in the last 18 months? That is an average weight loss of 6.66 lbs a month lost and 1.33 lbs per week
