Weigh in 14

Another week, another weigh-in

Start weight: 178.8 kg (394.2 lbs)
Last week's weight: 155.9 kg (343.7 lbs)
Current weight: 154.2 kg (340 lbs)
Loss this week: 1.7 kg (3.7 lbs)
Overall loss: 24.6 kg (54.2 lbs)
Start BMI: 56.4
Last week's BMI: 49.2
Current BMI: 48.7

So I'm inching closer to the 25 kg milestone. I'm hoping I'll reach it next week.


 

Weigh in 13

...aka The one where I haven't blogged all week.

I can assure you that even though it's Easter, I have not fallen off the wagon. I did allow myself one tiny Easter egg yesterday, but aside from that no chocolate has passed my lips. I did, however, return to form on the scales this morning.

Start weight: 178.8 kg (394.2 lbs)
Last week's weight: 157.4 kg (347 lbs)
Current weight: 155.9 kg (343.7 lbs)
Loss this week: 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs)
Overall loss: 22.9 kg (50.5 lbs)
Start BMI: 56.4
Last week's BMI: 49.7
Current BMI: 49.2







So that means I have broken through the 50 pound milestone. Which is amazing and cause for some celebration. Not only that, I am more than halfway through Phase II, with 7.1 kg to go to reach 30 kilograms and 2.1 kg to reach the 25 kg milestone.

Success builds on success.

My first weigh in of the month, on the third, I was 161.8 kg. That means I have lost 5.9 kg this month. This is particularly pleasing since last week returned results below 1 kg. 

It's now a quarter of the way through the year. Perseverance pays off.  

 

Weigh in 12 - minor disappointment

Start weight: 178.8 kg (394.2 lbs)
Last week's weight: 158.2 kg (348.8 lbs)
Current weight: 157.4 kg (347 lbs)
Loss this week: 0.8 kg (1.8 lbs)
Overall loss: 21.4 kg (47.2 lbs)
Start BMI: 56.4
Last week's BMI: 49.9
Current BMI: 49.7

So for the first time in this whole journey, my weight loss is below 1 kg for the week. I'm not very happy about that. However, that is no reason to give up or give in. Rome wasn't built in a day. Slow and steady wins the race. And other proverbs that may help.

Profile shot 12 - late edition

OK, I missed my normal posting yesterday, but I did take the photos at the normal time.

Routine

I feel a wee bit in a rut, blogging wise. I have my profile shots and my weigh-in days, and usually nothing more to say than that. After all, once you get into a routine in losing weight, there's not a lot to say. Especially when you have yet to start mixing things up with an exercise programme. Still I am proud of myself and I am constantly reflecting on my progress. Things seem to be a little easier now.

Yes! I have hit the 20 kg milestone. I am a third of my way towards my goal for 2013. In addition, my BMI has dropped below 50 and I have broken through the 350 lb mark. It feels so good to have come so far. Don't stop me now.

Profile shot 11

I went to the doctor today. I don't want to discuss why, but I'm fine. I took the opportunity to have my blood pressure checked. 125/80. Normal range, according to the Doc. Google says it's a little high. Not bad, just a "you could do better", I guess. I would hazard to say it was worse a couple of months ago.
