Day 50 Weigh In #7

Remember the excitement Charlie Bucket felt when he tore open the wrapper from his Wonka bar and the corner of a golden ticket shimmered from his shaking hand. That's how I felt this morning after I stepped on the scale. 1.6# loss!
I went back and checked last week's loss to make sure I saw it right. 1.6. It works. It's simple. It's about the math.
I have rendered nearly 49 1/2 sticks of butter in 50 days, an average of 1.8 pounds a week. Maybe 1.8 pounds per week doesn't seem like a large chunk of lard when compared to the 15 pound losses a week on "The Biggest Loser" but, you're not isolated on a fat ranch, working out with a personal trainer 24/7 alongside others who are competing against you to lose pounds and win big money.
If you are reading this far and have followed The Plan to lose 20 pounds by reducing your calories by 500 and pumping your body for 45 minutes daily, then you have lost, in the range of, 1.6# a week. If you're losing more, then you're ahead of the The Plan. If you're Weigh In this week wasn't what you predicted, be patient. If you followed The Plan and did everything you know to do, next week will reflect the losses. There is no way around losing weight the right way. It just doesn't work in the long run. Never has, never will. Now, if you are not seeing a 1.6# loss weekly, for reasons only you know, and you're trying to play catch up each week, then you might as well stop reading now.
