Slow progress
We are advised, when we have lost around 10% of our body mass, to pause a while before continuing to lose weight. I have not found that to be a problem: when I have lost enough weight, my weight loss seems to simply stop for a while. This morning I am at 185.7 lbs. That is after hitting 185.6 lbs on 18 February, then moving up as high as 193.8 before slowly settling back. I’ve been bouncing between 186 and 187 for the past 12 days. But I’ve learned if I just continue to watch what I eat and exercise regularly, eventually I resume losing weight.
My BMI today is 25.2, still in the “overweight” range but getting closer to normal weight (insofar as the BMI is a good indicator: it doesn’t apply to everyone).
I’m going for my mid-term, and then I’m on spring break for a week. I’m celebrating by getting a haircut.
