Halfway There

This week I made it half-way to my goal of 30 lbs down -- my trend line passed 175 sometime on Tuesday night. 15 pounds lost, 15 pounds to go.

Let's review some stats.

• 15 lbs lost in 16 weeks
• Starting BMI: 30.41 (technically "obese")
• Current BMI: 28.30
• Calories Lost (3500 x 15) = 52,500. That's a lot of calories!

Say hello to my new best friends.

• 100-Calorie Yogurt (the Thick and Creamy is the BEST).
• Lean Cuisine. 300 Calories for lunch.
• A 100-Calorie Dorito pack for an afternoon snack.
• Lots and Lots of Decaf Coffee.

The above regime allows me to get home in the evening after having consumed only 500 calories, which is especially great if I start off the day burning 200-300 calories at the gym. Not a bad trick.

At the rate I'm going I should reach my goal of 30 lbs lost in another 16 weeks -- sometime around my birthday in April. That will be a nice present. Maybe I'll buy myself a thong.
