So, Frank is just a little slow.

I spent most of yesterday convinced that the WW scale was a little wacky, since that 2-lb loss at WW seemed to come out of nowhere. This morning, I meet with Frank, and suddenly *he's* saying I'm down two pounds. Again, I'm not complaining, and I don't want it back!

I was thinking a bit, about how I'll know that this time is for real. In previous attempts, the lowest I got before it started to come back was 253. So when I get down to the 240s, I think we can safely say that this time is different.

Last night I was looking at the definitions of the different severities of obesity. (I know -- doesn't that sound gripping? The things I do to avoid the kitchen!) Since I'm doing this mostly for my health, I'm going to add a few items to my Goals page, because I think that these categories are important to me, and passing through them will be serious milestones where becoming healthier is concerned.

The website I found actually has a graphic gizmo that shows a body getting smaller as the BMI gets smaller. I especially like this feature because right now I can't tell that I've gotten smaller, but if I plug in my starting weight and then my current weight, I can see a difference between the two graphics. (Note: I'm not endorsing anything else on the site, just the cool gizmo on this page.)

Well, time for breakfast. Thank heavens. :)
