I started my diet on February 16th, at 327.6. I've just done my final weigh-in for the year. My current weight is 282. That's a total loss of 45.6 pounds. I will admit that I am saddened it wasn't more, but with the fluctuations in my weight from the gains I had whenever I got overstressed, I'm not really all that surprised. I did, last week, decide for the hell of it, so see what my wight would have been in i subtracted out all of the weight gains I had made this year. Even if, on those weeks, I didn't LOSE a single pound, but instead simply broke even, I would have been down to exactly 250 pounds, which is the goal I was aiming for this year. Disheartening, yes, but it just means I'll need to try a little harder next year.
