Doug's Week 78 report - up, down, all around

The problem on this trip is not with sticking to my diet - I'm doing
fine with that. The problem is that there are so many different scales
I'm using I really don't know for sure what my week-to-week change is
unless I'm using the same scale two weeks in a row.

Last week when I came to Boston the scale first showed a big gain. But
now that I have now used the same scale 2 weeks in a row here in
Boston, I am showing a big loss from last week, and am back to where I
was with my big loss 2 weeks ago in St. Louis. I think everything is
ok, but am considering all figures "tentative" until I can compare with
my regular scale back in Tokyo.

This week my average daily calories came to 1454 calories/day. Since I
lost 1.0 kg = 2.2 lb this week, this means my CPP (calories per pound
per day needed to maintain weight) was 14.2 which is higher than
average, but consistent with when I am travel and am out-and-about and
more active than usual. (Lesson to be learned he be active.)

My "rolling 4 week average" is currently 0.6 lb/week.

My current weight graph is at
http://lerner.net/diet/weight20061117.jpg. It shows that my weight loss
has obviously slowed down, and I'm hopefully coming in for a "soft
landing".

The latest stats:

* Week 78 / Day 546
* This week's loss: 1.0 kg = 2.2 lb
* Weight (kg): 125.0 - 81.5 (minus 43.5 kg)
* Weight (lb): 275.0 - 179.3 (minus 95.7 lb)
* BMI: 41.3 - 26.9
* Percent body mass lost: 34.8%
* Percent complete to goal: 95%

Back to St. Louis tomorrow!
