After my last post where I expressed disappointment in my weight loss over the past week, I've had a think about things... and done some maths. There's nothing like some maths to bring out the inner geek in a girl and make you feel better.
I'm currently on day 22 of my challenge. Over the past 21 days (or the first 25% of my challenge) I managed to lose 3.5kg. If I manage to continue losing at that rate (or an average of 3.5kg every 3 weeks) I will lose a total of 14kg for this challenge. That would bring my weight down to 81.6kg. In all honesty that is a figure I would be ecstatic with. I can't remember a time I weighed that little.
Now it's no secret that you can generally lose more weight early on, so even if I only manage to lose 10kg for the duration of this challenge I would be happy.
I think for anyone who is trying to lose weight, it's important to keep your eye on the goal. Unforutnately are bodies are complicated things, we can do everything by the book and not lose weight some weeks. At the end of the day, it's important to keep going. I know I would rather take an extra 84 days to reach my ultimate goal, as opposed to giving up.

congrats on doing so well so far, you are inspiring me to keep going in my weight loss journey having lost my way after losing 13kgs, with another 20 or so to go.
ReplyDeleteBut I have found that in the weeks where you have you lil friend "alice" to visit, weightloss is either nil , very little, or goes up, at the same time your resolve goes out the window to stay on track.
Yes nature is cruel sometimes, but hang in there, you are an inspiration to others, and I for one am here in the cheap seats cheering you on!
Thanks for the lovely comments. I agree whole-heartedly with what you've said. It's so hard to stay focused when you have a bad week, even though you've done (almost) everything right. I really hope it is just Alice's fault! It seems too early for me to have hit a plateau already.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know I have people out there supporting me. I've made a commitment to write on this blog every day and it's nice to know someone is reading it :)
