Category: Weight Loss

Lost 1.5kg for the week. This is a total of 24.7kg for the year, and I am now 6.6 kg off achieving goal weight. Next Monday night is my last Monday night; I am switching to Saturday mornings starting Saturday week. I will take out a 12 week membership ion Saturday week. The aim then is to have at least some of the that time (hopefully six weeks!) in maintenance. I think I will have a better idea of how realistic that aim is after Monday night. If I can maintain ~ 1kg/week then it is.

Is anyone else using this blog anymore?

I put on 0.6kg. Seems that the rest of the tubbies + Keef were MIA 🙁

Last night would have to be the best meeting I’ve been to. Really spirited discussion, and I picked up some highly useful tips on boredom eating.

How do people think that they will go tonight? I’ve had an up and down week. I think that I will put on, which is a shame. The same themes keep popping up:

* boredom @ work;
* colder weather => need for more energy (or is this just an excuse)?

and the chocky mud cake at the futures retreat I attended will not help matters, I am sure.

A quick weigh on my scales at home would indicate a rise of ~ 1kg for the week 🙁

Of the thirty kg I had to lose, the first twenty was a doddle. I’ve been hanging between 20 and 25kg for a while now. It took be nineteen weeks to lose the first 20kg. In that last ten weeks I have lost 3.5kg. Time to refocus I think.

Lost 2kg last night, and, in the process, I passed by the 20% mark inasmuch as I have now lost slightly more than 20% of my starting weight!
Hey ho!

I have no idea how I will go tonight. Attempts at tracking and keeping on top of things were derailed by anniversary dinner and a one year old’s 1st b’day party (how many pts is fairy bread?)

I am hoping for a loss, but expecting a(nother) small gain. We will see.

In dire need of caffiene i went for a mid afternoon wander (in leiu of the lunch break i never got around to having). I found a cafe and had an iced coffee (with no icecream of course) and while i was sitting there reading (Wilhelm Reich in Hell by R Anton Wilson) I noticed that the cafe sold chocolate crackles. Those who know me well would know i love chocolate crackles but being the concientous lad i am i decided not to buy one. The lady behind the counter saw me looking at them and gave me one on the house. Any any other point in my life i would have thanked her (and asked her to marry me) but in my current weight watching healthy mode it was a bit of a conflict. Mind you i did accept the chocolate crackle. I had been sitting there telling myself to look but not eat but as W.C Fields said about persistence:

“If at first you dont succeed try try again, then give up since its no use being a damn fool about it.”

Tonight we’ll see how bad the last few weeks have been for me. I’m looking ofrward to this weigh in — I suspect that this will be the thing that gets me back on track.

outlines some of the sins…

Damn I only lost 0.1 this week. All that yoga and naught to show for it apart from an increased ability to do headstands. I am going to have to be a very good boy for the next few weeks if i am going to get anywhere near close.

By the way I am having a problem with yoga headstands. This problem is one that none of the yoga masters i have read about have ever had to face. When you are in the headstand position how do you maintain composure and posture when the cat starts licking your face?

Hey folks
Who feels good about tonights weigh in?
I have been my usual fuzzy with the points but generally ok self and apart from last nights curry (seehk kebabs and pumpkin madras and a 50 cent dark chocolate bar) I think I have been relatively good. Given that I did 9.5 hours of yoga over the last week I am hoping for a good result. My current aim is to get to 88K by the end of July. Why 88K I hear you ask? When i reach that toal I will have lost 20% of the body weight I was when i joined WW. I am currently at 92.something so i dont think it is unachievable.
Woohooo roll on getting the roll off.
