332.0
Since my last weigh in (335.4) 1 month ago (!) I haven’t been working out. I went to see my mom for the holidays, and then I got sick (working out whilst stuffed up doesn’t appeal to me), and then I was off at Macworld for a week.
I also ate pretty much whatever I felt like eating (i.e. every carb in sight). Case in point, one evening while at Macworld I had 4 cream puffs for dinner. Not exactly diet friendly.
Given this dire news I was certain that today’s return to the gym would be both depressing and shocking. I was sure I had gained back at least 10 pounds, and I would need to redouble my efforts to become slightly attractive. Luckily, I was wrong!
That’s right, I lost 3.4 pounds over the last month without doing a lick of exercise. I suppose this means that I have taken when I learned about eating healthier and have applied to my everyday life (with the occasional foray into cream puff land).
Furthermore, this means that since August 19th (6 months) I have lost 51 pounds. Not too shabby, though I need to step it up if you want to stay on track to lose 80 pounds in 8 months (which means I have to shed 15 pounds in the next month… we’ll see about that).

You -lost- 3 lbs over the holidays? That’s very impressive… don’t most people gain 5 or 10 then? You really must have taken the lifestyle changes to heart!

Thanks, renee! I still have a long way to go.
Thad, I was shocked as well. I was certain I gained a pound or ten. Who knew?

Same thing happened to me, Scott, and I’m flummoxed to explain it, too. I’m doing a team-based weight-loss class at the gym, and between the last weigh-in just before Christmas, and the first weigh-in on January 8th, I lost 4 pounds. I hardly exercised during the break, and while I didn’t pig out as I usually might during the holidays, I didn’t exactly stick to the dietary rules, either.
Like you, I was certain I had gained 5 or more pounds, so I was pleasantly surprised by the loss. Congrats, and keep on losing!
