Yesterday was 212.75, today is 212.75. This is down 0.75 lb from Monday's 213.5.
It's coming off.
And I'm exercising. At the end of July, I joined a gym and I've actually been using it. I have a weekly personal training session with a guy who broke his leg so badly that it needed amputation below the knee; he kicks my butt (which needs kicking). I'm taking a Water Walking class on Mondays at 10:30 (I missed this past week, but I'll not do that on a regular basis). I've taken a few Zumba classes. I'm enjoying myself while my body develops actual muscles and my clothes fall off me. It doesn't hurt to move as much as it did, either. Life is good!!
Oh ... and my gentleman caller is pleased with the changes, too!

Weighing In 8/28/2017
Well. It's been awhile, but I've pretty much taken August off. Today I'm 213.5, the same as yesterday's 213.5, and down all of 2 lb from 8/1/2017.
I've maintained my losses, and that is a victory.
Labor Day is this coming weekend. I'm visiting my gentleman caller and will restart the Diet Center plan after that ... which means Wednesday. Actually, it will probably be Thursday, since that's payday!

After a week on lake time (but eating well ... very well, thanks to my gentleman caller), I come back at 214.0, having lost 1.5 lb since last I weighed in on 8/2!
I should go away more often!

215.5. No change. No change for a week. Sigh.
It's actually time for an egg-grapefruit day, but that's not happening until probably next Tuesday or Wednesday since my gentleman caller is coming today and we won't part company until Monday.
It's also time for pictures and measurements. Well, those will have to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday too.

215.5. No change.
My last egg-grapefruit day was two weeks ago. Almost time for another, I think. If my weight stays steady for a week (that means until Wednesday, 8/2), I'll do one. Actually, I'll do one on Tuesday, 8/1, since my gentleman caller will arrive on 8/2.
The exercise at this gym I joined will have its effect soon, too. I'm sure I'm retaining water to wash out the lactic acid that is built up in my muscles (geez oh man am I sore!). Once that process stops, the water weight will come off. I'm gaining muscle mass, too, which speeds up metabolism somewhat and is healthier and looks better than the rolls of fat.

215.5, no change from yesterday.
I did my first VENT Fitness class last night ... an aquacize class. It was fun! Today I'm stiff and sore!
The VENT Fitness in Clifton Park doesn't have the pool; had to go to Guilderland for that. Well, from home the two are approximately equidistant. I'll use the one in Clifton Park for weights and treadmill and like that; the one in Guilderland (I have a membership with access to all four; CP, Guilderland, Niskayuna and Latham) I'll use for their water and rock-climbing wall.
They have this cool O2 bar; you sit for 20 minutes breathing oxygen that runs through whatever flavor or combination of flavors you want to smell (I smelled wisteria, fruit mix, and another mix last night; I avoided piƱa colada since I don't like coconut). It's not a very strong scent, but it adds a little something. You breathe it in with a cannula (you have to buy the cannula, which makes good sense; it's all of $5). Next time, though, I'll bring my phone and read a book while I breathe.
I have my setup meeting tomorrow afternoon; looking forward to it!

Weighing In 7/26/2017
215.5, down 0.75 from yesterday's 216.25.
And down 40.5 pounds from March 15.
Reward time!! 40 pounds is HUGE. I've lost the equivalent of a five-year-old child. I'm going to the opera with my gentleman caller on 4 August, and he's coming here before then, so I'm getting the furniture rearranged and the upstairs cleaned up. But that's preplanned, so that's not my reward. My reward will be ... hmmm.
I think I'd like to join Vent Fitness. They have swimming and rock-climbing, and I can use the Wellness debit card to join up. And they have a facility right on the way to work!! Getting good exercise. That's my reward.
