185 pounds, down 31 (!). Now in pre-maintenance, slowly beginning to feel my way through.
My last week was pretty much spent on the road, trying hard to keep to the diet. Fortunately, I was in the later stages of OWL, so it wasn't too difficult, and I still managed to lose weight.
And since part of the trip was in Paris, I congratulate myself on my willpower. The smell of freshly baked pastries as you emerge from the Metro in the morning.... Ah!
In short everything proceeding OK. Down to 1 pound per week, which is bloody brilliant from many angles.
Incidentally, I looked up my body mass index and my body fat percentage online. In the past 56 days, my BMI has declined from 28.5 (Overweight) to 24.4 (Normal). That is to be expected. What surprised me was the result in the body fat calculator, where I used one of the measures I found at:
Body Fat Calculator.
According to this admittedly imprecise tool, when I started, I had 153lbs of lean body mass, and 63 (!!) lbs of fat. My BF% was 29%! Now, I am at 151lbs of lean body mass and 34lbs of fat, with a BF% of 18%!
Wow. I guess Atkins + exercise really does work.
