Week 13: Still On Track With Weight Loss

I lost weight again this week, only 0.2 lbs, but I'll take it. I was concerned about gaining because of eating out at restaurants during my business trip last week. But I guess I was able to balance it out with the adjustments I made the rest of the week.

I find that I am not using the Weight Watchers tracking as much as I did at the start, probably because I am developing a feel for the proper amount of food to eat and roughly keeping track of the points in my head. But I need to be careful to keep my eating under control. I am still making good decisions about the quality of the food I am eating and intend to continue.

I am on the boarder of losing 50% of my goal weight, or 25 lbs. When I think back over the first 25 lbs, they came off pretty easily. I am expecting the next 25 lbs to be a little more difficult to shed. But I will remain focused and achieve my goal.

I remember setting a goal during the first few weeks that I wanted to keep my weight loss average below 2 lbs per week (so I am losing weight at a healthy rate). With that in mind, I am still on track.
