2004 - Six pounds net

I weighed myself this morning, for the first time in 2005. The scale said 185.0, which is about what I expected. I ended last year at 191, which means that my net loss is 6 lbs. (As if you couldn't subtract that on your own...) My 2004 low was 176.5, so I lost 14.5 lbs and gained back 8.5 over the course of the year. Oddly, I'm not all that disappointed. In fact, I'm actually content that I lost anything at all. To me, that speaks volumes for my commitment to the weight loss journey this year (or lack thereof).

As for 2005, the saga continues. Since the EPT I took this weekend showed absolutely no trace of a second line (and believe me, I looked hard), Babyquest begins now, too. Fortunately, these two journeys travel much the same path--losing weight will increase my chances of getting pregnant, and diet recommendations for PCOS* patients trying to conceive are generally the same as those for weight loss--whole foods, low GI, blah blah etc.

I still don't know if I'll be posting here much anymore, but I hope to continue to see the scale numbers go down, at least until pregnancy sends them in the other direction. :)

Happy New Year!
