Category: Weight Loss

I have been thinking about weight, weighing in, etc. I reckon that losing 0.3 to 0.5 kg a week is a reasonable effort. Last night, I weighed my wallet and keys, which sometimes I have taken out, sometimes I have left in: 0.425 kg. Clothing differences (eg shorts and T-shirt vs full body armour) would have variations as well. Other than the first week (when I got charged with pub(l)ic indecency) I have made an effort to be consistent about the clothes I wear, but as the weather changes, this may not be feasible.

My theory is this: weigh in every week, but compare your weight to what you weighed in at four weeks earlier, not the previous week. This will give you a good idea of how you are trending, and there is enough scope in there for weight loss (typically 1.2 – 2.0 kg) to cover any clothing differences for the week. Then make this a rolling four week comparison (eg week 5 comapre to week 1, week 6 cf Week 2, etc).

Thoughts? Or am I way off the mark here?

Hi all – first blog entry for me. I promise not to be bad this week – that is, after I finish my ham and cheese toastie……….
this is a late entry cause I just realised I have to select “publish” (oops)

I took the liberty of inviting a few fellow tubbies, I have added 3 new authors:

My twin sis Anitra
My parents Roger and Marg
and my Sister in law Aurora

All of whom are with the program. Looking forward to sharing their pain….

I took Big Red’s advice this morning and worked out a menu plan for the week based on the book but substituting to make it mostly vegie.

It was super quick to do the shopping and I saved about 30 bucks off my normal grocery bill. I think Paul is a living example of following the books – so I aim to lose at least 1kg this week by being organised and a raving WW points nutter.

How are you going Andrew? Did you weigh in?

Weighed in originally at 110
2nd meeting 107.8
3rd meeting 107
4th meeting 106.4

Hey Folks
How do i work out the points value of some of the mock meats i eat? (Oddly enough the WW book doesnt have a section on Vincents Vegetarian)

118.3 kg at Week 0. Do you want week by week stats Ing? If so:
Week 1: -2.6 kg
Week 2: -1.2 kg
Week 3: -2.2 kg

Well, at my fourth meeting, I managed to score the “You’ve lost 5kg” bookmark. I have actually lost 6kg exactly since records began four weeks ago. I have not really arced up the exercise, just stuck pretty religiously to the menus provided.

damn those tiny dim sims.

Bloody half a point per mouthfull and they go down so quickly….

Can I blame tonight’s probable weight gain on the fact that I have to weigh in my birkenstocks?

(fixed the stylesheet though. Any suggestions welcome)
