crunching my way through 20 grams of m&ms (1.5 pts) as afternoon treaties they rock – it feels like a lot of chocolate if you eat them slowly…

My weekly totals fyi Andrew are:

wk1 86.6
wk2 85.2
wk3 84.6
wk4 84.2
wk5 85.4
wk6 comp
wk7 84.2
wk8 84.1
wk9 comp
wk10 83.4

Total loss 3.2 kg – graph me! Tell me I will make it soon!

(oh the struggle of the 10 kg loss vs the 50kg :/
On the bright side I am one third of the way there already.)

Been trackin’ like a mad mother (which I am at times) today. True to my pact with Andrew and Paul I am blogging everything I eat in order to be sure I track. Feel free to skip it, it already looks like it is going to be a boring week of blogs with this as content. Though I rely on you all for smart arsed comments 🙂

So far:
Breakfast:
1 egg 1
1 english muffin 2
coffee with milk and sugar 1
toddler party snacks
.5 of a piece of sultana bread 1
butter on the s.b 1
party size sausage roll 3
(I looked tthe sr up when I got home. At the time I thought it was only about 1.5 pts. bugger)
lunch
2 rice cakes 1
low fat cream cheese 1
turkey breast 30g 1
20g m&ms 1.5

total so far: 13

rock on dudes.

How are you going with the tracking ajv? I will upload the pix soon, what is the adress to post them to the page automagically?

-1.6kg last night; -5.6 for the rolling four week total. Gotta course, gotta go.

Ciao.

I meant to send this earlier but havent had time. I thought it was funny the other night. There are these three big bearded blackbelted somewhat seedy (but not weedy) looking individuals hanging around in the carpark of a Kung fu/truckdriving school (if we cannot beat you up we will run you over).

What are they talking about? Oriental wisdom? kicking heads? Sport? Chickeebabes?

Nope these fearsome guys are having a long and serious talk about weight loss strategies.

I thought it was somewhat incongruous and that no one watching would have ever picked it as a topic of conversation.

1st 4 weeks: -5.9
2nd: -4.5
3rd: -5.4
4th: -3.0
5th: -5.2

Noddy, can you what some trend lines in for these data? I’d be using a log or exp trend, though, as I’d hate my loss to go negative!

What do I read from this? I am still not reaching the giddy heights of the first four weeks, although it’s not too shabby an effort for the last four weeks. The fourth data point is the only one (so far) to include two weeks where the balance went up, so is perhaps an anomoly in some respects.

If current trends continue, by the time the 7th data point comes in (Week 11), there is no way I will be losing more than 5kg over a four week period anymore 🙁 Ah, for those halcyon daze…

The more I play with this, the more I think that the 4 week rolling total is a better (although more sophisticated => requiring a higher level of analysis) than the week by week figures.

Does anyone know what a small choc chip bikkie is worth (I would guess 1.5 pts). It was about the size of three 20 cent pieces stacked up on each other. Tasted quite buttery.

Ciao,

I just went to the City branch of WW and it was chockas. If you are going to go there i would make it so you get there extra early and still be prepared for a wait (could have made the obvious pun here). I didnt stay for the talk because i dont have that long a lunch time and without the rest of the crew of evil henchpersons it probably wouldnt be much fun.

And i lost 1.6 k (currently weighing in at a svelte 101.6. I am a middlewight, thats where all my weight is.)

I reckon i am going to hit my 10% target in two weeks. I say this due to my extreme extrapolative innnate statistical abilities and that i am going away bike riding and bushwalking in the Grampians with a bunch on health fanatics the weekend before.

In order to understand your best approach to losing weight here is a little personality test for all y’all.

Okay, the stats are in, and Paul is likely to make BMI 25 (around 90 kg) first… around May.

Tells me it’s time to put down the Tim Tams, crack open the unused tracker and start tracking.

Down a further 2.1 this week! That is 5.2 kg on the rolling 4 week cycle! Excellent!

Nodster, here’s some numbers for the nine weeks for me, in kg:

118.3
115.7
114.5
112.3
112.4
111.2
109.1
109.3
107.2

Cheers,
Paul

I’ve uploaded the photos from a few weeks ago, but it’s week 8 for us on Monday. TIME FOR MORE PHOTOS!

Also, if you could e-mail me your weekly weight stats, I’ll make up Excel graphs and stick them in your little area at the top of the page. Check mine out for an example.
