If you've come to the site in March, April or May, you may have gotten the idea that I'd given up, failed or forgotten about this site or even losing weight entirely. Fortunately, nothing is further from the truth. I've continued to not only lose weight, but I've kept careful track of my daily progress, knowing that I'd get back to updating the site again. What I didn't take into account is that I would get quite so backlogged, so until I'm caught up, I'm going to post a week's worth of updates every day with minimal blogging. I've made notes every now and then to record milestones, comment on changes to my plan, or just random thoughts. I'll summarize those with links to each post as I play catchup.
Ten weeks is either a very long time or the blink of an eye, depending on your perspective. In terms of "I want this weight gone", it's forever. Ideally speaking, the day I committed to losing weight I wanted to be at my goal weight. The fact that I'm only halfway there in 10 weeks (and will likely slow down as I approach my goal) makes it feel like forever. But realistically speaking, recognizing that it took me a decade or so to put on this much weight, and my original plans called for me to spend a year or more taking it off, 10 weeks is nothing. Either way, I'm very pleased at the progress I've made in these first ten weeks.
As for the progress itself, I find it amusing that 2 days after I celebrate losing 30 pounds, my average weekly is still catching up at 26 pounds. Still holding steady on weight loss, although it did get a bit of a boost this week. My fat percent drop stopped slowing for once which was a refreshing change. Still no long term trend. I'd really like to graph that but time is limited at the moment. My waist and hips are marching in step still, as long as they continue the downward direction I'm fine with that. My chest and biceps though continue to shrink, which is disappointing from a musculature standpoint. I'd be more concerned, but looking at my before/after pictures, I can see that I was carrying extra fat there that I'm not sad to be rid of. And looking at my flex pics, I can see an improvement there, at least in definition.
One last note, today's dietary fat made up 60% of my calories (and typically make up 40%-50+%). So far I haven't had any problems losing weight with this, nor the relatively high carbohydrate intake. I'm more convinced than ever that it's all about the calories, at least when it comes to gaining/losing weight.
