Latest Stats

So at weigh-in tonight, I'd lost 3.7 pounds last week. That's a total of 27.6 pounds during the seven weeks on product. We are starting our eighth week.

Saw the doc again tonight (once a month). Lab results all good, no problems.

Everyone in my group seems VERY happy with their weight loss, they feel good, not hungry, lots of energy. Hard to knock this program, at least in the weight loss phase!

And we are discussing long term strategies, including monitoring. Large Kaiser study said those who monitored (whether on paper or apps like My Fitness Pal) lost twice as much weight...

Putting Technology to Use

Might as well use technology to help with weight loss. Since starting the Kaiser weight management program I've been use the Lose It app to log my products. Kind of boring since the same every day if not in the same order, but supposedly good practice for when we go back to food. Makes sense. You can also enter weight, goals, even exercise though I'm not doing that last one.

For exercise/movement related issues, I got a Fitbit which I just set up and am wearing for the first time today. No idea what it will say in terms of steps. Even though I no longer have a desk job (retired in September from a super sedentary job) I'm not exactly jogging through my day. But gotta start somewhere!
