I have dropped another pound according to scale this morning (no confirming it by weighing in for three days, for me,
Kathryn!) Another .8 lb and I will be back to starting weight when first set up MFP account in June.
A 1.1 lb loss from today's weight will put me into the "overweight" range, as opposed to "obese."
In looking at my spreadsheet, I am up 7.4 pounds from the day I started tracking my weight a little over a year ago. Within that year plus a few days, I was down my 2.6 pounds at one point from the beginning weight, and up by 12.4 at my highest point after R osh H ashana last month for a range of 15 pounds. I was only at the highest weight once, and dropped the next day by 1.6 pounds so it's a bit of an aberration, but otoh I often simply skip weighing in when I know the number is higher.
I would like to be 6 lbs down from now when we leave on Nov 1 for a week in Palm Springs, CA but I don't know whether that's reasonable for me, given the slowness of my loss and my propensity to go off "program."
