february 9, 2008 - day 24 (weight 234.5)

Down 2-1/2 lbs to 234.5 lbs. Wow!! I was very tempted to snack yesterday and it seems, now that I think back, that on the days I am hungriest - those are the days that I lose the most weight. I don't think the hunger is like the hunger once you come off or become immune. That is supposed to be overwhelming. Maybe this bit of hunger and temptation is normal. Glad I don't have it all day every day. Measurements (all standing); Tummy (at belly button) = 45.0 in (down 2 1/2 inches!!)--(no further loss) Chest (at nipples) = 46.0 in (down 3 inches!!)--(2 more inches since last measurement) Neck = 17.0 in (down 1/2 inch)--(no further loss) Hips = 43.5 in (down 1-1/2 inches)--(1 more inch since last time) Upper Thigh (r) (at inseam) = 26.0 in (down 1-1/2 inch)--(1 more inch since last time) Mid calf (r) = 16.5 in (1 inch)--(1 more inch since last time) Bicep (r) (arm outstretched to front) = 13.0 in (down 1/2) / (flexed) = 15.5 in (same)--(both same as last time) Butt = 44.5 in (new measurement) For lunch I had chicken and a cucumber, an apple and 3 grissini's (249.1 cal). For dinner I had taco salad, with lettuce, tomatoes and 93/7 ground sirloin (177.75). (426.85 cal total)
