Another Friday and another few lbs. shed. The effects of the diet have kicked back in quite well this past week, so here’s the results…

Challenge #2: Lose weight on the South Beach Diet.
Current weight: 197.5
Current BMI: 27.65
Weight loss from start: -36.2 lbs.
Progress: This marks the end of my 8th week on the South Beach Diet and this week’s results rank as the 5th best week of the bunch. Not bad at all. With a total loss of 3.6 lbs. since last Friday, I have hit milestones like dropping under 200 lbs. and 35 lbs. total lost since start. If you saw my last weight loss update, I am also planning to create a second goal of 180 once I reach 190. Especially since 190 is now only a mere 7.5 lbs away. I can’t believe how successful I’ve been in this venture so far, and I can only hope this progress keeps up.

A quick post for a big milestone reached today!

Challenge #2: Lose weight on the South Beach Diet.
Current weight: 199.3
Current BMI: 27.90
Weight loss from start: -34.4 lbs.
Progress: I wanted to make note that today, for the first time since 2006, I have finally made it back under 200lbs. At a current weight of 199.3 I am ecstatic about my progress and looking forward not only to completing my goal, but also to never breaching 200 again. I write that on a wary tone, because so many times in my life I have gone back up to weights I hoped not to reach again. But with the plan I am on now, I think I should be able to really stick to it.

It’s “Weight Loss Friday” today! I think it’s catchy sounding, don’t you? So long as I don’t gain anything, it may be a name that sticks.

Challenge #2: Lose weight on the South Beach Diet.
Current weight: 201.1
Current BMI: 28.15
Weight loss from start: -32.6 lbs.
Progress: Like last week, this was a much slower week than previous weeks. Though my results were slightly better than last time. This week I lost a total of 2.6 lbs. As I’m told anything over 2 lbs is supposed to be very good, I am happy.
