My first recorded weigh-in was four months ago yesterday. Quantitative data is actionable data, and I've been doing plenty of quantitating. I'm solidly 1/3 of the way to my target weight, still right on schedule. But how I feel is important data, too. Recent readings:

Clothing

• T-shirts fit better
• Jeans and shorts hang low after a couple wearings
• Work slacks are fairly comfortable again
• Work shirts are much better (still a bit tight at the neck)

Appearance

• Some weight has departed my face
• Some weight has migrated upwards to chest/shoulders/arms

Energy

• Maybe less lethargic; too early to be sure, and summer-induced lethargy will temporarily confound any results
• Exercise used to feel awful, now it feels pretty good

Summary

I no longer feel like a complete mess, just a person who's out of shape. Since I'm over the exercise hump, perhaps my conditioning will now improve faster.
