I do not want to claim success but I think a mileage marker has been met.

I use a weekly average of my weight to gauge where I am. Today I hit minus 40 pounds.

40 pounds loss in 46 weeks.

The first 36 weeks or so was just portion control. I hit a bit of a plateau and started with FitDay.

The past 10 weeks I have been calorie and carb counting at a level which should give me a loss of a pound per week.

This is why I like using a weekly average for my weight. If I am having a heavy day, or a light day I just keep saying -- trust the numbers. It takes a lot of anxiety away.

I am running about 20-25 miles a week.

Way to go!
