As of this morning, PhysicsDiet shows my weight as being 229.85 pounds. In other words, I’ve met my goals of 230 pounds by the end of 2010. Since 230 wasn’t intended to be the end all of my journey, it looks like it’s time for a new goal…

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.
As I noted in my previous post, Body Mass Index (BMI) is a controversial tool for identifying obesity. The good news is that there’s a new and more accurate measure available for predicting obesity risk in kids.
Those that are interested in tracking their weight have most likely heard the term Body Mass Index (BMI). I’ve mentioned BMI here in the past, but have never really talked about exactly what it is, or how it’s calculated.
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.
About ten days ago, I had an appointment with an orthopedist. Though my hip had started to improve, I wanted to get a professional opinion. In addition to a series of stretches and exercises, he gave me some samples of Celebrex (celecoxib) along with a prescription.
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.
