For anyone keeping score at home, I dropped another 5.2 pounds this week, bringing my total lost to 80.4 lbs, having lost 23.45% of my starting weight. My current weight is 262.4, down from 342.8 on November 2nd. When I began this competition, I stated that I wanted to lose 140 lbs. I have 59.6 pounds to go to reach that mark, and if I can sustain at least a three pound-per-week loss from now on (I've never had a week lower than 3 pounds yet), I will be at my goal weight of 200 pounds before the finale on May 15, and will have lost 41.42% of my starting weight. 41.42% is a higher percentage than the majority of the contestants on "The Biggest Loser", and is actually a higher percentage than the very first winner (37%), who got to spend three months on the Biggest Loser ranch with Bob, Jillian, doctors, nutritionists, etc. For one more week, at least, Nandy Cordova and I are still the leaders. I think it's been 10 weeks for me, and 11 for her. With the exception of one week, the red team has had the male and female leaders from the very first week. Charles, Lisa, and Tim (the only blue team member to have the lead for a week) have all held top honors one time. I have a little margin for error; but there are a couple of blue team ladies who are trying their best to take the lead from Nandy (who, I might add, is on her third week of no running or biking because of the injury she sustained three weeks ago).
Until that day arrives, I have a lot of work to do, though. Seems like the pounds are harder and harder to shed the further I go!
