Battle of the Bulge: A Correction and A Confession

I went to weigh in again last week. I thought I had lost 3 pounds. I have a correction. I lost 5 pounds. There is an easy explanation to this, but it will include a confession.

The truth is I weighed two months before I started the diet. I then subtracted two pounds for my starting weight because I like round numbers, and because I did not want to admit that I weighed more than my starting weight. So my starting weight was not exact. When I count the amount of weight I have lost since my highest weight. That means I lost 5 pounds, for a total of 44 pounds in 7 weeks. I would really like to lose 6 next week, and then I would be at 50 in two months.

I am worried about a plateu coming soon. But so far, I am doing an adequate job of slow and steady weight loss.
