Get my weight loss back on track

The day after I posted last I was 2 pounds lower and after a weekend and a Monday away from the scale I was 3 pounds lower bringing me down to 261.5 or 6.5 pounds away from my year end goal and only .5 pounds away from my mini end of the month goal of losing 6 pounds in October. Instead of feeling like I can take it easy now for a big from things going well I am all the more determined to keep it up and press forward now that I have the numbers dropping again.

Current Weight: 261.5
Current Goal: 255
Recent High: 270.5

Not surprisingly my last entry was an artificial low that only lasted a day before going up again. To make matters worse around a week an a half ago I was in a car accident when I was hit from behind while stopping at a stop sign and suffered a lower back injury which has proven to be counter productive toward my weight loss efforts. A few days ago I had a followup with my doctor who wanted me to come back in a week and depending upon how things are might send me to physical therapy to aid in my recovery.

I was really impressed today to find it down 5 pounds from 267 it was on Wednesday to the 262 that it was today. Sure I realize it is probably an artificial low to some extent given my downs and ups cycles but nevertheless it can not be denied that progress to some level was clearly made during those 6 days between weighing myself.

While I have managed to have gone down since my last update it is the Weight Commander graph that has me concerned as it shows that I have pretty much been going in circles over time. Even though the circles are getting smaller and deeper over time with slightly slower numbers, it is a bad trend that needs to be broken otherwise it would put me in danger of not meeting the personal challenge date for this goal.

This past weekend I managed to lose a pound instead of give back lost ground to the scale as happens all too often.

Current Weight: 266

This goal has just been upgraded to my personal challenge goal which is pretty much saying to lose 12 pounds from where I am at today within 4 months. So far I’ve held steady over the past few days but that is fine as I have plenty of time, especially since what matters most is that I do not backtrack and regain.

Current Weight: 267

After spiking at 270.5 last week and holding at 269.5 by the end of last week the weekend turned things around as I lost 2.5 pounds to reach 267. This extra productive weekend has all the more motivated me to push forward harder toward the goal.

After bouncing up and down with normal variation over the past few weeks I am glad to report that it appears as if I have finally gotten out of the lower 260’s and worked my way into the upper 250’s which will hopefully soon become mid to low 250’s

Weighed myself yesterday or was it the day before, regardless I was pleased with the results as I broke the 260’s and am into the 250’s once again.
