On Wednesday of next week, it'll be day 42. Ignoring the awesome cosmological significance of that number, my weight that day should tell me roughly how much I can expect to lose "on the backstretch" (speaking of backstretches, I'm going to the Dickies 500 in November!). If figure I'm good for 5 pounds, that puts me at 311 on the 11th, or 29 pounds down at the half, which says that a reasonable goal should be 29 pounds under that, or about 282. 282 would be the lowest I've weighed pretty much my entire adult life. (And ironically, would leave 42 pounds to go for the original goal #1). This also puts me roughly on par with J, whose "30 pounds in 40 days" success rate was my orginal inspiration for starting Medifast.
Yes, 42 is the answer. Don't Panic, dammit!
