Weight Loss Progress: 159.5/163

Well, today the scale is telling me my weight is 159.5 lbs (72.3 kg).  Here’s the graph:

That’s 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg) less than last week, which is a relative large change in weight for a single week.  However, I’m a bit skeptical that I actually lost this much weight: my weight loss, although trending down, proceeds along a path with peaks and valleys.  My Monday morning weigh-in is sensitive to the vagaries of my diet on Sunday, so we’ll have to see what the scale tells me next week to be sure of anything.

My BMI is 21.6.  That puts me in the normal weight category.

I said that 160 lbs (72.6 kg) was my goal weight, and that when I reached my goal, I would begin pumping iron in earnest.  This week at the gym, I’ll cut back a little on the cardio, in order to budget extra time for strength training.
