Weight Check

Morning weigh-in: 345.00 pounds

Morning blood pressure: 118 / 81

I lost only 3/4 of a pound. That's about what I was expecting. I think if it as converting last week's temporary water loss into a permanent loss of fat.

I'm not too concerned about this because (unlike three weeks ago) I'm still on the trend line for my weight loss. That is, what I think of as my true weight loss—the loss of body fat—should continue on a slow, steady downward trend, even though my measured weight will bounce around due to transient weight such as water and food.

Here's a chart of my recent weights, with a dashed trend line drawn in by hand:



I think this means that while the last few weeks have had their ups and downs, I'm still losing weight.

Oh, note also that my systolic blood pressure has dropped out of the pre-hypertension range. I'm not sure that's cause for celebration, but it's a pretty good thing.
