If you break it down, though, it was 10 pounds the first month, 6 pounds the second, and 4 pounds the third--decreasing losses. I'm not too bothered by it because the big family reunion/week of guests in the middle of month 3 was a big factor, and I think that I can continue to lose around 6 pounds/month.
When I think back over the last three months, I'm kind of amazed. No fast food (unless you count Chick Fil A, which I really don't. When I say fast food, I mean McDonald's, Wendy's, etc.), hardly any eating out that wasn't socially obligated, no ordering pizza. Oh yeah, and I went from running zero to eight miles.
The next milestone on my calendar is a friend's wedding on June 6, just over two months from now. If I can lose 12 more pounds by then, I'll be happy. (I may not be able go to the wedding--it's in Indiana--but that doesn't matter.) I'll be training for the Broad Street Run for the next month, and then I'll need to figure out the next step in fitness. I'm not sure if I'll continue to try to run longer distances, or if I'll start focusing on some kind of weight training. What I do know is that I can't do what I did two Thanksgivings ago--train for a run (in that case, 4.5 miles) and then once it's over, gain twice the weight I lost. That would not be cool. And I won't let it happen this time.
Current weight: 191.5
Pounds to goal: 68.5
