Thoughts: weight today seems to want to dip back below the 175 mark again -- I'll wait till the end (Monday a.m.) to officially measure and record. I may also choose to discount my recorded starting weight .. 180 ... since that was an overnight spike of 2 lbs (I had been averaging 178 for weeks) ...So, for the sake of accuracy .. it would be better to keep 178 as my start weight. Tentatively, it seems I've lost 3+ lbs overall, during the 4 weeks of the study. For me that translates to success .. but I need to sit back, compile (and digest!!) the data .. and sort out what things were helpful ... what were not. Hopefully I'll come up with a plan for the future ... using the insights I've gained from participating in this group project.
