Weight Loss Tracking News

My goal is 190 pounds. (N.b. I am approximately 6’1.5″ tall, so if you go by the extremely invalid BMI measure, at 190 pounds I am no longer “overweight”.)The orange colored vertical band represents the dates between Oct. 1 and Oct. 17 when Carole Elaine Furr and I were on a cruise from Athens, Greece to Trieste, Italy. I had no means of weighing myself then (literally true: the scale in the fitness center on the ship was broken). Carole and I actually tried to eat sensibly on the cruise — no baskets of bread, no creamy soups or sauces, saying “no” to dessert now and then, having small breakfasts. We walked at least 10,000 steps every day of the cruise with the exception of the one “sea day” where we didn’t get off the ship to go on a shore excursion. Nonetheless, I came back just a few pounds heavier, but as you can see, I was able to get back on track fairly quickly.I am not taking Wegovy or any similar drug and truth to be told, I haven’t been getting anywhere near the exercise I should have been getting. The weight loss is the result of very careful diet management, working with ChatGPT to monitor not just my calories but also my nutrients. Sodium is a particular point of concern because of my hypertension but sometimes I wind up going off the rails, like I did yesterday. Most days I get a lot less.
