Day 35 of 183. 148 days to go.
Weigh in was last night. I am happy to say that i lost another 3lbs. So that means that I have lost 20lbs in 5 weeks. An average of 4 pounds per week. Thats great! 
Here's my weight loss stats, as best as i can do them
week 0....weight- 14st 9lbs.....start weight
week 1....weigth- 14st 1lb......weight loss - 8lbs
week 2....weight- 13st 10lbs....weight loss - 5lbs
week 3....weight- 13st 9lbs.....weight loss - 1lb
week 4....weight- 13st 6lbs.....weight loss - 3lbs
week 5....weight- 13st 3lbs.....weight loss - 3lbs.
I'm very happy at the rate that it is coming off.
When i went to weight watchers it recently took me 13 weeks to lose 13lbs. (sigh).
I was happy with the loss, obviously, and i felt good doing the diet, but goodness me, it was sooooooo frustrating waiting to actually get anywhere in terms of seeing and feeling the benefits of the results.
That was at the end of last year (2005) and in december i started having the odd thing that wasn't strictly on the program because of social events, etc, and that just tipped the balance and i gained a couple of pounds.
The second succesive week that i did that, i decided to stay away from weight watchers until after the festive season, thinking, "i can't face the pain and disapointment of putting the weight on, never mind the shame and humiliation while i am standing on the scales in the weight watchers class. So, i'll retun after christmas and carry on then."
I thouhgt that because i had been doing the weight watchers program successfully (albeit snails pace results) that i had found something that worked and i could just go back and do it again in the new year. No problem.
The was a problem though, and that problem was that by the time i went back in january i had regained all but 1lb of what i lost
My own fault, yes i know.
So, i'm glad i'm losing at this rate, in fact i am delighted.
I also feel a little less concerned about so much loose skin by going at a slower pace.
Even though i'm very weak and easily get dizzy and tired out, i have decided to start exercising now that i'm not so heavy. I have an early start and late finish tomorrow, and then friday, staurday and sunday the handyman returns to continue with the decor.
i can do some while he is here.
Yes, i can.
i can use a room away from where he's working.
i might even explain that i'm now going to be exercising and i dont want to be disturbed. He wont come into the room, then.
Yes, i will do that.
On friday morning, then, i exercise. ![]()
