For help reading the charts, the red line is the moving average trend line. In the monthly chart, the diamonds are actual recorded weights. In the total progress chart, the actual weights are shown in dull gray. The dashed yellow line is the goal line. The flat spot at the end of April is my trip to NYC, where I didn’t have access to a scale.

The hardest thing was avoiding late night snacking while working late at night. I hear some people forget to eat when things get hard, but its the opposite for me.

Thankfully because of the way I am keeping track of things, I know exactly where my bad days came from, and hope to use that to avoid too many more.

I guess it can’t be easy the whole way, but I have lost almost 30 pounds since December, and plan to keep pushing.

The categories are defined as follows:

This morning I weighed in at 215.4 lbs, which at my height of about 5-11 makes for a BMI of 30.0. Another pound or so and I’ll drop to 29.9, and officially be “overweight.” At the rate I’m going that should happen in a matter of days.
