Week 10 - Weigh In

Well I'm not sure what's going on this week, but I've had another slow one - a loss of 400g which brings me down to 87.6kg.

If I'm being completely honest with myself, I haven't been perfect food wise. You just need to look at my entries from Saturday and Tuesday night where I had chicken caesar salad (on both occasions) a piece of cake and a couple of glasses of wine. On the other hand I have had one of my best weeks on the exercise front.

While I'm not happy with my result, I'm not unhappy. I've done really well so far and we all know these things can't happen at lightening pace forever.

I'm very much in two minds about the situation and am worried that I may have hit the dreaded plateau which every dieter dreads! I'm considering whether I should go off the intensive phase for the next couple of weeks and onto transition. The overall effect is only a couple of hundred extra calories per day and it might just be the thing I need to kick-start my losses again. Plus it would mean I could eat some fruit... decisions decisions.

Week 8 - Weigh In

After my 1kg gain last week, I was very lucky this week to lose 1.6kg - which is my gain plus more. That brings me down to 88.3kg and a total loss of 7.3kg to date.

I'm not sure if I'm losing my momentum but I wasn't all that excited today, which I really should be.

I think I'm going to put things in really small terms and focus on my next goal of getting down to 85kg, which is just over 3kg away.

The more I think about it, the more I realise how significant the 85kg mark is. While I've lost weight and put it on over the years since high school, I've never managed to get to that mark. More importantly, that would mark the half-way point in my weight loss journey and mean I only have another 10kg to lose. Wow...

Watch out 85kg - you will be mine!

Week 7 - Weigh In

Well I didn't really want to post my result for this week, but in the interest of full disclosure here we go... 89.9kg, or a gain of 1kg.

I'm not that surprised considering the bad food I ate over the weekend. Plus I'm feeling a bit hormonal and bloated at the moment, if you get my drift. I'm not devestated. Hopefully it's a bit of water weight and will shift itself in the next few days.

Week 6 - Weigh In

After a few slow weeks, I'm absolutely thrilled to report a massive loss of 1.6kg this week. That brings me down from 90.5kg to 88.9kg and a total of 6.7kg lost over the past 6 weeks!

I'm really happy that my hard work and discipline through this challenge is really paying off. I'm yet to have any friends or work colleagues comment on my weight loss, which is totally fine because I still have a fair way to go.

I just did the maths and to date I have lost 7% of my body weight, which is amazing! I can't wait to crack the 10% mark!

Week 5 - Weigh In

I'm still a bit concerned that my scales aren't giving me consistent results, which is beyond annoying. In any event, I'm down another 600g this week which brings me to 90.5kg. That's a total of 5.1kg lost in 5 weeks. Can't complain about that.

Week 4 - Weigh In

I'm happy to report a loss of exactly 1kg this week. That brings me down from 92.1 to 91.1kg and my BMI to 29.7. That's right, I am officially overweight and no longer obese!

I'm really happy with the result considering I had a less than perfect week food wise... I can't help but think that I could have had a better loss if I was more disciplined with myself.

I'm going to aim to have a 100% optifast week for week 5. Hopefully I don't have too many social events because these, unfortunately, seem to be my major downfall!

Week 3 - Weigh In

Well I have to admit I'm disappointed with my result this week. I'm down to 92.1kg, a measly loss of 200 grams for the week.

If I'm being completely honest I didn't stick to the program 100%. I had quite a few extras over the week such as oopsie rolls, popcorn and some cheese. I think I need to refocus this week and hopefully I'll get a better result this week.

Week 2 - Weigh In

Well I'm very happy to report another great loss of 1.5kg this week, which brings me down to 92.3kg! Considering I ate some hot chips and a couple of glasses too many of red wine over the week, I think I've done really well. I'm going to be in the 80's in no time if I can keep this up!

Week One - Weigh In

I just thought I'd drop by quickly to report the results from my first week.

I'm very happy to say that I've lost a total of 1.8kg. This brings me down to a current weight of 93.8kg. I'm over the moon with this result and can only hope that this will inspire me to continue on the healthy eating path for the next 77 days.
