I crunch numbers all day long. I make graphs and charts and track trends. I'm good at it - so, it is not surprising that I have done the same thing with the weight loss.
Not only can I tell you how much I've lost since surgery, since two weeks pre-op, since my biggest - I can also tell you the weight loss for all of those in stones (which is how my UK friends measure - and for anyone interested, there are 14 pounds to a stone). I can tell you my current BMI, as well how much it has gone down. Now these numbers probably get boring to everyone else - but since so much of my life deals with numbers, they are really important to me. And - I have a new number to add to the mix: from my biggest to my goal weight (which I recently adjusted so that it would be in line with the BMI the doctor wants me to have) - I have lost 42% of the weight I need to lose. 42%!!! That is ALMOST halfway there. WOW!
I have also added another goal - next year - sometime - I want to walk in a 5k charity event. I do not have any delusions of being able to run it - but I think if I start now and work up to it, I can do a walk. Wouldn't that be absolutely incredible? So - you keep encouraging me - and I'll keep working toward it...
