Jeff's Fitlog

This week was more than a little disappointing. Despite a total caloric deficit of 3100 and a great set of exercises yesterday, I have suffered a small setback. This ends my longest streak of 6 consecutive weeks with weight loss. Time to start a new one, I guess.

Fortunately I didn't slip under the 30-lbs mark or past the "overweight" BMI calculation.

This weigh-in was 150.0 lbs, up 1 pound from last week's reading of 149.0 lbs. I am now 5 pounds above my target weight.

Total weight lost: 30.0 lbs (16.67% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 88.57% of my goal.

My new BMI calculation is 24.21, which is an increase of 0.16 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 5.74 kg/m². At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

Thank you, Wii Fit. Kerri and I borrowed the game from Kyle a while ago and I've been getting into the strength and yoga exercises. I think those have helped this week, although I really need to get back on the damn bike. In other developments, I have purchased a fancy new scale that measures within 1/5th of a pound, so the numbers won't necessarily end in tidy .5's and .0's anymore.

This weigh-in puts at 31 lbs, which is significant for me. I first broke 20 lbs in February (and again in March) so the last 10 lbs was really tough - took me twice as long to lose that 10 lbs than it took to lose that first 20, but I guess that's normal.

I also am proud to report that this week marks the 6th consecutive week that I've had a loss - my longest streak yet. The previous long was 4 straight weeks when I first began this effort.

Finally, it is worth noting that according to my newly corrected BMI numbers, I am officially in the "Normal" weight zone for any modern BMI interpretation. Finally!

This weigh-in was 149.0 lbs, down 2 pounds from last week's reading of 151.0 lbs. I am now 4 pounds above my target weight.

Total weight lost: 31.0 lbs (17.22% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 88.57% of my goal.

My new BMI calculation is 24.05, which is a decrease of 1.08 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 5.90 kg/m². At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

Don't panic. This is an edited repost of the original Update 29 based on corrected BMI calculations.

Another week with little exercise, but it worked out okay. I know I need to get my ass in gear and start working on it again. I expect to hit the 30 pounds lost mark next week, which is exciting. We'll see how it goes.

This weigh-in was 151.0 lbs, down 1 pound from last week's reading of 152.0 lbs. I am now 6 pounds above my target weight.

Total weight lost: 29.0 lbs (16.11% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 82.86% of my goal.

My new BMI calculation is 25.12, which is a decrease of 0.17 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 4.83 kg/m². At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

I guess I screwed up on my BMI numbers because I was calculating based on the wrong figures. BMI is calculated by the following formula:


So my calculation for this week, for example, was the following:


But I'm not 5'6". I'm 5'5". So the calculation should have been:


So what does this mean? Well, a couple of things: first, I have no self-awareness when it comes to my short stature. It also means that my BMI is over 25 - I am still technically overweight in that category. Every post I've done this year has the wrong numbers. I will fix this morning's post to reflect the correct figures, but I'm not going to change them all. Probably not, anyway.

This was an interesting week. I wasn't really able to do any planned exercise this week due to my calf pain (though I did take every chance I could to carry tires or heavy parts at work) so I was worried that I wouldn't achieve my caloric deficit goals. I did pretty well, however.

With this weigh-in, I find myself at my lowest weight since I was in High School, and only 2 lbs away from the 30 lbs lost mark. I think I've finally officially broken through the slump that I was going through since late February, when I broke the 20-lb mark. I have lost 5.5 lbs in the last three weeks, so I'm really pleased with the trend lately. Hopefully I can keep it up!

This weigh-in was 152.0 lbs, down 2.5 lbs from last week's reading of 154.5 lbs. I am now 7 pounds above my target weight.

Total weight lost: 28.0 lbs (15.56% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 80.00% of my goal.

My new BMI calculation is 24.53, which is a decrease of 0.40 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 4.52 kg/m². At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

May 2009 (155 lbs):
Although I am a little bit disgusted to see pictures of a more rotund me, it's nice to see that my weight loss has had such a significant impact on my appearance. This keeps me motivated!

I probably would have done better this week had it not been for the caloric orgy that took place in a San Diego Benihana's on Saturday, but progress is progress.

I wasn't able to get to riding the bike very much on vacation, but I did do some in-room step aerobics which have completely killed my legs (I thought it was just a cardio exercise?) so I won't be back on the bike until they recover a bit.

This weigh-in was 154.5 lbs, down 0.5 lbs from last week's reading of 155 lbs. I am now 9.5 pounds above my target weight.

Total weight lost: 25.5 lbs (14.17% of my body weight). At my target weight I will have lost nearly 20% of my body weight. I am currently at 71.43% of my goal.

My new BMI calculation is 24.93, which is a decrease of 0.08 from last reading. My total BMI decrease is 4.12 kg/m². At my target weight my BMI will be 23.4. At that point, new fitness goals will be set; but for now I am focusing on this goal.

Progress thus far:
