I've now lost 36 pounds since January. That's more than I expected. I've heard you can compare body fat to the density of butter, so I like to visualize 36 boxes of butter as what I'm no longer carrying around with me.

I decided not to set a target weight, though I don't want to lose more than 10 more pounds. I'm just going to see where I level out, and I'll be happy wherever it is. Time to start eating a bit more though, as that is one of my new goals related to getting ready for pregnancy. I was surprised to still be losing weight, even though I am eating a little bit more. Looks like it's not levelling off yet! I'd be shocked if I got down to my high school weight though. I need to work on building some more muscle, too. Haven't got a clue where to start in that regard, other than on the phone to find a babysitter each day! I do benchpress the baby sometimes, he likes it, and I'm increasing my reps Those arms have always been my weak point.

See you all at the forum, it's quite an exciting place these days! (see my last blog below for the link)
