THE LONG SLOW GLIDE

I have experienced a 100 pound weight loss.  It took just under one year.  The odd thing about it is that I went from 309 lbs on December 24th down to 220 lbs on April 11th.  

Basically, I lost nearly 90 lbs in less than four months.  The balance of the year was spent, either holding that weight and/or slowly watching my weight creep up.  Once, I became a fitbitter in the beginning of September, I started experiencing success again.  I have said from the very beginning that this journey will never end - and that is even more evident to me now that ever before.  It is just as hard to hold onto weight loss as it is to lose the weight.  It takes just as much effort.  Those last ten pounds were a long slow glide.

Most of my weight loss this past year happened in the first four months.

This chart shows only the last six months, At the height of this chart was when I purchased my fitbit.

This chart shows the steady progress from the point that I was a fitbitter.
