It might not be a whoosh, but it a great loss! Keep up the good work.

Well, it's not exactly a "woosh", but least it is a respectable, normal
weekly weight loss. And finally I am at a new, lower weight after a month
of
stalls. In fact, I have now lost more than 30% of my original weight!

This week I lost 0.6 kg = 1.3 lb. Since my average daily calories came to
1568 calories/day (slightly higher than last week) this means my CPP
(calories per pound per day needed to maintain weight) was 11.6, which
about
what it was during my St. Louis trip.

My "rolling 4 week average" improved from a negative weight loss to 0.3
lb/week.

My latest weekly weight loss graph is up at

The latest stats:

* Week 57 / Day 399
* This week's loss: 0.6 kg = 1.3 lb
* Weight (kg): 125.0 - 87.2 (minus 37.8 kg)
* Weight (lb): 275.0 - 191.8 (minus 83.2 lb)
* BMI: 41.3 - 28.8
* Percent body mass lost: 30.2% (Milestone: more than 30% lost!)
* Percent complete to goal: 82%
