February Weigh In



I am not a big fan of weighing myself regularly, as I have talked about previously. I don't want to get hung up on the numbers, so this year I am just weighing myself on the 1st of every month as a way to track my progress.

So today is the 1st of February and I desperately wanted to see a lower number on the scale and get far away from the hideous number I saw at the start of the year. I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised with the number I saw today.

January 5th: 125.4 kilos (275.8 lbs)
February 1st: 119.7 kilos (263.3 lbs)
= 5.4 kilo loss (11.8 lbs)


It sounds like a big loss, and it is, but my clothes aren't really feeling any different yet and I look in the mirror and feel like I look the same. It will take time to feel like myself again, I sat at about 100 kilos for a while and anything above that feels unnatural.

I am sure this weight loss will slow down in the next month, but I will be happy to end every month with a loss, no matter how small it is.

    That's all you need :)

    I understand it isn't where you wish you were right now, but you'll get back there. Enjoy the moment! You took the healthy way, and look what you accomplished!

    Congratulations :)

  11. Congratulations on the weight loss!! Keep up the good work. It's smart to only weigh yourself once a month. I can't count how many times I have stepped on the scale and been in a bad mood for the rest of the day because I didn't like what I saw.
