Back in April when I started this blog, and my diet, I weighed in at 285 lbs. Today, I weigh in at 243.8 pounds. That’s a difference of 41.2 pounds. But is this the amount of weight I’ve lost?

No. Its merely the difference in my weight from then and now. Just based on the measurements I’ve posted in my blog over the last several months, I’ve lost many more pounds. Over the course of my various diets, my weight has gone up and down. The diets, however, haven’t been the only variables. My schedule, my lifestyle, my activities have also had a lot to do with it.

Ready to hear the real numbers? Since April, I have gained, here and there, 51 pounds! This means, my actual pounds loss totals a whopping 92.2 pounds! If only those pounds went away and stayed away, I’d now weigh in at 192.8 pounds. I’ll still get there. Just at this rate, I will have lost 200 pounds to do so!
