Doug's Week 80 report - back in Japan!

I arrived back in Japan last night. Because I didn't get a good chance
for a weigh-in on Friday morning before breakfast, I will go ahead and
use this morning's Tokyo weigh-in for this week. It also gives me a
chance to get back to the scale I've been using all along.

I'm pleased to report that the scale here also has me in the 70s in
kilograms! So it was not just a fluke of one scale I was using in the
U.S. Whew!

This week my average daily calories came to 1411 calories/day. Since I
lost just 0.1 kg = 0.2 lb this week (between 2 scales though, so the
actual weekly loss figure should be "asterisked"), this means my CPP
(calories per pound per day needed to maintain weight) was 8.7, which
is lower than average.

My "rolling 4 week average" increased a bit to 1.5 lb/week (because a
big gain 4 weeks ago rolled off the stats).

My current weight graph is at
http://lerner.net/diet/weight20061215.jpg.

The latest stats:

* Week 80 / Day 560
* This week's loss: 0.1 kg = 0.2 lb
* Weight (kg): 125.0 - 79.8 (minus 45.2 kg)
* Weight (lb): 275.0 - 175.6 (minus 99.4 lb)
* BMI: 41.3 - 26.4
* Percent body mass lost: 36.2%
* Percent complete to goal: 98%

So I still can't officially claim that I've reached the 100 lb
milestone yet - but very very close!

I'm just glad that my scale back here in Japan confirmed I'm in the
70s!

I'm sorry too, Lee!

I might be going back there again within the next few months. So let's
definitely get together then, ok?

Thanks!

Welcome home! Great job making progress while traveling. That's a major

Thanks. I actually find it easy to stay on my diet while traveling. The
reason? No boredom. There are all sorts of new low-calorie foods to try
that I haven't experienced before. In supermarkets and in restaurants.
So dieting becomes a treat and an adventure, rather than a chore.

Unfortunately I get carried away trying new things when we go out. We've
been really good about not eating out much lately so when we do I have a
hard time being good. Hopefully I can stay focused next week when we go to
mom's in Florida for christmas. We've got quite a few eat-outs already
planned. I'm just going have to concentrate on fish dishes this vacation.
That and watching my portions.

Yay, Doug! Good job!
