Non-Scale Victories

Apr 27, 2009

The free-fall continues...  Since I started WW in February, I'm quickly approaching 50 pounds lost, with an average loss rate of almost 4 pounds a week.   I think I can attribute some of it to the lack of steroids in my system - I got off of the steroid asthma inhalers at the time I started.

I've also been walking for the past couple of months.  My son swims 4 nights a week, so instead of just sitting around watching him - I'll walk instead.  That's coming along well - many of my walks are in the 2-3 mile range, and I did my first 5k with some friends yesterday.  We finished dead last - but who cares - we finished!  And..... we're signing up for another one next month.  Finishing last will not be an option...

Anyway, at these races with all the little skinny people - I'll be there soon...... - the largest size shirt they have is 2XL.  Some incentive for the obese to walk these things, when you can't wear the shirt after the race.  Well, that's my issue with it...

Until yesterday, that is....  

Finally, as of this last weigh-in... I'm no longer MO.  The BMI finally dropped under 40!

And the hits just keep on coming...
