Today marks 13 weeks on the LCHF diet.  The halfway point in my quest to lose 60 pounds in six months.  Although I’ve been making pretty steady progress and have done pretty well at sticking to the diet, I’ve got a long way to go to achieve my goal.  One thing I’m going to have to do in the next 13 weeks is actually get serious about adding some exercise to my daily routine.  I’ve got a treadmill in the spare bedroom and a bicycle in the garage.  I need to start actually using them.

Anyway, I actually lost ground this past week, gaining one pound which puts me back to 254.  I’m not overly distressed because I had a three pound loss the week before which seemed somewhat unnatural.  Plus I was in travel mode this week which is always tough (fewer food options, lots of sitting behind the steering wheel).  Overall I’ve lost 24 1/2 pounds, so there’s that.

In the good news department, this week’s girth measurement has me at 46″, down 1″ from last week 5.5″ overall.  Now, the week I lost three pounds I saw no reduction in my belly.  The week I gain a pound, I lose an inch off the middle.  Go figure.

Onward and downward!
