At this stage in the game it’s hard to tell if this is genuine weight loss or just a normal clothing/water weight/time of day fluctuation (did you know that my Uggs weigh 2 pounds?), but the numbers are trending in the right direction, so I’ll take it. I’m shooting for a “safe” (read: lazy) loss of 2 pounds a week, so I hope to be in the lower 160s by Christmas.

We’ll see.
