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.
Eat to lose weight, and exercise to get fit. I’ve heard that before many times, but I never really got the significance of it until this week. We’re on vacation (yes, again!), but this time around we’re on our own when it comes to food and we’ve been cooking for ourselves.
With another month in the books, it’s time to take another look at my weight loss chart. I’ve got a good bit more data than I did back in February, so we can now look at progress across an entire month.
