224, no change from yesterday's 224.
Well, at least it's not going in the wrong direction. And I've seen, a couple of times now, that plateaus end in precipitous drops. But I do NOT like plateaus.
In my ideal world, weight comes off at 1/4 lb per day, regularly. That's 2 lb per week, which is a good, healthy rate. But no; that's not how my body works. It stays stuck for days on end, then drops the weight suddenly and quickly over a couple of days before getting stuck again.
Well, I stay the course, and I am reaping the rewards. 32 pounds gone since mid-March ... that ain't bad!!

Weighing In 6/7/2017
224. No change from yesterday.
The precipitous drop was nice, but now I've landed, I guess. Well, plateaus are preparation for precipitous drops. As frustrating as they are, they are necessary.
I won't sound so philosophical if I'm still at 224 four days from now.

Weighing In 6/6/2017
I missed blogging, though not weighing myself, yesterday.
Yesterday I weighed in at 224.25, down 0.25 from 4 June's 224.5.
Today I weighed in at 224, down 0.25 from yesterday's 224.25.
Those little quarter-pound days do add up to about 2 pounds per week, which is where I need to be. Indeed, on 1 June I was at 226, so I have lost two pounds this week. That's just about ideal.
I put on one of Jim's belts yesterday. I needed to; my pants are falling down! Soon it will be time to take in, then get rid of, all the clothes that fit my larger body. Salvation Army is in for some lovely, lovely suits!

Weighing In 6/4/2017
224.5, down 1 whole pound from yesterday.
Gotta love it when it comes off quickly! It makes the plateaus worth it. Although with a loss like that in a day, I thoroughly expect a plateau (aka FRUSTRATION) in my future. Well, so be it. Stick with it and the weight comes off.
And actually, this is not hard to stick with. I love the food; it's nutritious, delicious and easy to eat. I do, though, need more exercise.

So I maintain the egg-grapefruit-day loss. That works!

Weighing In 6/1/2017
226, down from yesterday's 228. Heading in the right direction again! Yay for egg/grapefruit day yesterday!
It's the first of the month: time for recap, measurements and pictures.
In May, weight loss slowed to a crawl, but it still crawled in the right direction (for the most part). I lost 7.5 lb since 1 May rather than the wonted 10 lb, but hey; I'll take it. I've lost 30 lb exactly since I started in March. I've lost a total of 25 inches since starting out, 9.75 of which I lost in May.
It's slow progress, but it's progress.
To bump it up this month, now that summer is essentially here, I will walk ... and walk ... and walk. I will also get started with the Callanetics. I will continue the PT stretches, but I think I'll slow the visits down to 1x/week. I have other things I can do with that $46/visit!
