I have started plugging in my data to a spreadsheet to see my progress (or lack thereof).
I started 2015 at 277.2. I bounced around until I landed at 268.2 at the end of 2017 with a low of 260. I wish I could figure out how I got down to 260 then bounced back up. I bought a new scale that shows percentages and body age as well as weight. I've made a point to weigh in on Mondays.
Here's all my numbers in black and white glory:
Date | Weight | BMI | Fat % | Muscle % | Visceral fat |
12/25/17 | 268.2 | 36.9 | 49.7 | 22.5 | 10 |
1/1/18 | 271.2 | 37.3 | 49.2 | 22.8 | 10 |
1/8/18 | 268.8 | 37 | 48.2 | 23.3 | 10 |
1/22/18 | 275.6 | 37.9 | 47 | 24.1 | 10 |
I went on a girls weekend and I'm sure alcohol can account for the uptick in weight. Really hope that goes away by next Monday. But I saw a surprising trend!! My Fat% has gone down every week while my Muscle% has gone up.
I will count that as a minor win.
Off to go drink my 40oz of water. I still haven't conquered that goal.
