Good news: I am down again for the month, and ended on a new low for the year.
Bad news: My weight loss plateaued and stalled about halfway through the month.
Ambivalent news: These kinds of plateaus are not unexpected, so I should start dropping again soon unless I suddenly switch to bags of donuts as my primary food source.
On August 16 I hit 160.4 pounds and for the next 15 days my weight ticked up and down until today, when it was…160.4 pounds. The body fat percentage has dropped, though, so I am still shedding the padding.
Overall, I am pleased at the continued weight loss, if slightly frustrated at the last few weeks.
