Picking a Starting Weight

Okay, I went to the doctor today. And not only am I completely and utterly unchanged from the last time I went, I also weigh more there than at home.

This is frustrating.

However, I also weighed myself at the gym last night because they had a good scale there. And it came up the same as Dr. Patil's did. So, I have a new plan.

I'm starting fresh today. I weigh 177 clothed. That means I have 27 pounds to go before I can get holes in my head. I want to do that around Christmas, so I would like to lose 20 pounds by Christmas. 10 by my next Dr's appointment.

I am going to erase my previous scale on the sidebar tonight, and simply start over. No weighing at home anymore because I just can't rely on that scale. Instead, I will hold myself to weighing once weekly at the gym in the locker room, before we go upstairs for class. This will also keep me from obsessively weighing myself every day, so maybe I can see progress and just get some good vibes going.

And so that's that. Today is the first day of my diet. Again.
