Weigh-in 42 : Goooooaaaaallllll*

*for 2013

Start weight: 178.8 kg (394.2 lbs) 
Last week's weight: 119.5 kg (263.5lbs)
Current weight: 118.8 kg (261.9lbs) 
Loss this week: 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs) 
Overall loss: 60.0 kg (132.3 lbs) 
Start BMI: 56.4  
Last week's BMI: 37.7
Current BMI: 37.5

Well I dreamt big and I followed through. I think I have achieved something I feel is quite remarkable over the past 10 months. At the beginning of this journey, I thought it would be a massive struggle. And it was for a while, but losing all this weight has been so much more easier than I ever thought it could be. And I haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary. Cutting the crap, increasing my consumption of vegetables and fruit and being a little more active.

So what happens now?

My journey is not yet over. I'm going to try and lose another 10 kg by the end of the year. I'd be happy with 8 and that will bring my total loss to 150 lbs under the old imperial weights and measures.  I'll reassess after that. But for now I'm going to allow myself a moment of joy and exhilaration. I feel like a mountaineer who has battled his way, step by unsteady step, up a steep incline. I have emerged from the cloud layer and I can see the peak before me.
