How can you lose 1.6 pounds in a week and be upset?

21 weeks into my journey I have posted my lowest weekly weight loss. Now, I have had a few weeks where I lost in the 2's but I have not yet experienced what I have this week........Total weight loss for the week.....1.6 lbs.

With the overall total now at a very respectable 85.0 lbs I am concerned that I may have discovered a plateau. The last time I lost 2 lbs I followed up with a GOOD week so I am looking forward to having that good week this coming week.

I have become obsessed with what I call LOW DAYS. A LOW DAY is defined as the LOWEST I have weighed in 15+ years. Even if it is just .2 lbs difference from the day before I am happy when I can achieve a LOW DAY.

Went to a family gathering this past weekend where most have not seen me since December......The compliments were plentiful and most could not believe the change. My father-in-law introduced me to a woman I have never met by saying.....Rick lost 84 lbs. The woman looked at my still heavy body and originally thought he was joking. OK, to a woman who just met me I am still fat.....Hard to take but still true. Don't know if I will ever be to the point where I do not have some meat on the bones. More importantly I dont think I want to. I have seen pictures of where I was when I was 22-23 yrs old and I was not skinny but I was in good shape. Unfortunately that is still about 40 lbs from where I am this morning. 40 is a LOT closer than 125!!!

Happy Memorial Day!
