Down 19.8 Pounds in 8 Weeks

Well, as you can see from my results, some weeks are better than others, but I have lost almost 20 pounds in a little less than 2 months. So far, I have done this by staying close to my daily points allowance (with a few exceptions) and without a big increase in my activity level. I do work harder this time of year at work, so that may have helped a little. But I have done no real exercise – something I will be adding to the plan soon.

I had only 1 week with a slight gain, and still have an average loss of over 2 pounds per week. If I can continue at that rate, I will easily make my goal of losing 50 pounds in 6 months. In fact at my current rate, I will lose over 60 pounds in that time. However, as I lose weight it will become more difficult to lose 2 pounds per week. The heavier you are, the more you can lose in a week (at least healthily).

The main changes to my diet have been a great increase in the amount of fruits and vegetables I eat (at least 5 servings per day) and a great decrease in my consumption of high fat foods like burgers and fries, chips, cookies, etc. I eat the latter in moderation and will often have a low fat alternative like baked chips, weight watcher’s cookies or a Fiber One bar, etc.
