September 18th Weight Update

Last time, I mentioned that, because I've been eating out a bit more lately, I was worried that my weight would begin to creep up again.  This fear was partially thanks to the fact that this has happened pretty much all the time in the last few years - I start to lose a few pounds, then my weight goes right back up to where it was before.  But thankfully, that wasn't the case this time:

weight: 208.2 lbs
fat percentage: 45.2%
hydration: 37.6%
muscle: 26.9%
bone: 11.1%
cal: 2311

And while I have been eating out more than normal these last few days, I've been fairly smart about it.  I've made some healthier choices overall (salads, or a falafel wrap).  And for the times where the choices may not have been as healthy (like pizzas), I didn't eat tons (and had leftovers for a few days - pizza is awesome like that!)

This is the lowest my weight has been in a very long time (I haven't been 208lbs since 2019!) so I decided to see what my BMI is at now.  I used the National Heart, Lungs, and Blood Institute's calculator (which looks familiar - I'm pretty sure that's the calculator I've used before), and my BMI is down to 29.9, which is fantastic news (when I last checked it in January, my BMI was 31.2) - a 29.9 brings me down into the overweight category, rather than the obesity category!  Good news indeed for my health. :)

September 11 Weight Update

 I weighed myself last weekend, and forgot to post about it until now:

weight: 210.0 lbs
fat percentage: 46.6%
hydration: 36.7%
muscle: 26.2%
bone: 11.1%
cal: 2321

What's really exciting is that this is the first time where I actually feel like I've lost a bit of weight.  I feel a little slimmer in my belly, and when I wear a belt, it has to be a bit tighter than before.  So that's a really encouraging sign.  Hopefully I can keep up what I'm doing!  I'm just a bit worried because I feel like I've been eating more than normal this week, and haven't been sleeping as well.  We'll see tomorrow how things are going though!
