I really didn't think about what I ate last week - though it was all pretty healthy. well, I wil pay attention this week.

You know, I think the most inspiring number on that spreadsheet is the percentage of body weight lost. I'm down 1.2% as of last week. This spreadsheet is the first time I've ever seen that enumerated, and it's the number that's stuck in my head and keeps rolling around in there as I ride.

I'm down 1.2%. My doctor told me a while back (when I weighed 258, about a year ago) that she wanted me to lose 10% of my body weight. At the time, I didn't even think about it because I knew I was over 100lbs overweight, and that I was considered morbidly obese (I think I still am), so I focused on that seemingly impossible number and felt overwhelmed. Anyway, I just did the math and at that time, 10% was 26lbs. I'm down to 242...that's 16lbs...I'm over halfway there and I didn't even realize it until you put that number on the spreadsheet and made me look at it again, Possegirl, so thank you.

channlluv - I'm so glad that the numbers on the sheet are helping you! I guess for me as a scientist, it is all about the graphical and tabular presentation of things for me. So seeing numbers like that are very helpful. And seeing it in small blocks, like our 2 month periods of tracking, also very helpful I think. Sometimes the 40-45 I would like to lose seems daunting. So telling myself that maybe I can try and lose 10 by the end of May, is easier to handle.

Carolina Girl - I've added you into our chart. Let me know what you would like for your goal for the end of April. We will of course be putting another chart up for May-June.

Martina - I hope you are on the mend soon. Take care of yourself and don't beat yourself up too much. Though I understand all too well the comment about not having a friendly relationship with your body.
