There once was a time when I was a Coke addict. I couldn’t make it through a day without sucking down copious amounts of the brown stuff. But over time, it began to wear on me, so I kicked the habit. It’s been four months – so far, so good.

Okay, time for another update. What I’ve learned over the past couple of months is that I not only need to weight myself regularly, but I also need to analyze those data. If I don’t, I get off track, and my weight loss suffers.
Here’s a quick tip for making your baked goods a bit healthier… Replace the cooking oil (or at least a portion of it) with applesauce. Your results may vary depending on the recipe, but this works very well for things like cakes and brownies.
Time for another weight loss update… Due to an unanticipated data loss, I didn’t post an update for July, and my August update will be a bit vague. I need to get back to analyzing the data more formally, but I just haven’t had time.
Oops. July is more than half over, and I still haven’t posted a weight loss update for June. As I’ve noted in the past, I track my weight online with PhysicsDiet, which does a nice job of smoothing out the data and providing an estimate of my “true” weight so I can easily see the overall trends instead of random blips and bumps.
The month of May is now behind us, and we’re well into June. It’s thus once again to take a look at my weight loss progress over the past month. As I’ve noted in the past, I track my weight online with PhysicsDiet, which does a nice job of smoothing out the data and providing an estimate of my “true” weight.
Over the past week or so, I’ve been struck by how reliant my weight loss progress is on my exercise program. As I previously noted, I took the week off from exercise to rehab a running-related hip injury. My hip improved, but my weight loss flat-lined.
The other day, I burned 992 calories during an hourlong session on the elliptical. Or at least that’s what the control panel said when I got done. But did I really burn off that many calories as a result of my workout?
It’s the last day of April, and I’ve had my morning weigh-in. Thus, it’s time to take a look at my weight loss progress over the past month. As I’ve noted in the past, I track my weight online with PhysicsDiet, which does a nice job of smoothing out the data and providing an estimate of my “true” weight.
I’ve recently been thinking a lot about slow, sustainable weight loss. The problem with most weight loss programs is that people are impatient. They make major changes in hopes of losing weight quickly, but ultimately get frustrated by their lack of progress and/or tired of their huge sacrifices, and wind up quitting.
