Week 50

1lb loss!

That's me back down to exactly 200 pounds - where I was back at the beginning of December, 8 weeks ago (week 42) - which was the lowest point I've been to since I started this.


Statistical summary:

Starting Weight: 19st 9lb – 275lbs
Current Weight: 14st 4lb – 200lbs
Total Weight Loss: 75lbs
Weight Lost since joining the Knights of the Round Bottoms: 10lbs

Week 49

2lb loss!

Well it looks like I'm back on track now. I'm down to the weight I was about 2 months ago and if I lose one more pound then that returns me to the lowest point I got to before the gluttenous season started to take effect.

2 more pounds and I drop below that 200 barrier.


Statistical summary:

Starting Weight: 19st 9lb – 275lbs
Current Weight: 14st 5lb – 201lbs
Total Weight Loss: 74lbs
Weight Lost since joining the Knights of the Round Bottoms: 9lbs

Week 48

Even

No loss and no gain this week. All things considered I'm not too unhappy about that. Maggie's burst of baking (see Baking a Cake on my main blog) meant that I was forced to endure warm home made scones and chocolate cake for a couple of days, and we discovered a few goodies left over from Xmas that had to be finished up.

I'm hopeful that the last of the excesses have passed and this week we should get back on track in a more straightforward way.


Statistical summary:

Starting Weight: 19st 9lb – 275lbs
Current Weight: 14st 7lb – 203lbs
Total Weight Loss: 72lbs

Sitemeter

Although I created this site back in August, I really have no idea if anyone actually looks at it, other than myself, fatmammycat and one or two of the Knights of the Round Bottoms.

So I've got round to adding a visitor counter. Because I have no idea how many visitors this site gets, I have started it at zero (or 1, as I guess I'm the first one to look at it), and I'll just see how it goes.

This is a move based in curiosity rather than part of an overall strategy to help me boost my ratings, as my main blog, http://kimayres.blogspot.com is where I post most of my stuff. This site is here for me to keep a track of my weight and post stuff about eating and health as and when I think about it. It will stay here regardless of visitor numbers.

When I started this site, I did hope that more people (or anyone really) would start posting comments on the posts about healthy eating and the dangers of dieting, (see right). But either everyone agrees with me or no one's looking.

Now I can find out. Really should have done this months ago.

Week 47

3lb Loss!?

I know last week that I thought I'd be just looking at stabilising this week, but to be honest, when I stood on the scales this morning I was fully expecting to have gained another pound or two. I had to re-check several times before I was prepared to believe that I'd actually lost 3 pounds.

With my stepdaughter staying with us (see main blog) and all the stresses that have accompanied the fact that she was beaten up by her partner, my eating has not been good. Most evenings I've ended up snacking, which is a major no-no, so I find it almost impossible to believe I can have lost weight.

Only 2 possible explanations I can think of, other than the scales are broken, and that is either my metabolism has actually speeded up as my body has gotten used to a higher level of eating over the past few weeks (seems unlikely), or the stress is working off more calories than I'm compensating for with the extra food.

I don't know, sometimes weight loss feels more like a lottery and this week I just happened to get lucky.


Statistical summary:

Starting Weight: 19st 9lb – 275lbs
Current Weight: 14st 7lb – 203lbs
Total Weight Loss: 72lbs
Weight Lost since joining the Knights of the Round Bottoms: 7lbs

Week 46

3lb gain!

OK, so now I'm back up to 14 stone, 10 pounds, but I'm still under the 15 stone by a few pounds. I figured there was a good chance that I would gain up to half a stone (7lbs) over December, but it's only been 6lbs, so I should consider it some kind of achievement.

I'm not worried, to be honest. It's not like it means I have to endure a diet I despise for longer; the reality is that I enjoy my healthy eating regime. Because it's a lifestyle change and not a temporary diet, now the gluttonous season is over and I can cut out the crap again, I should start losing the weight once more.

Give me another week to stabilise and then I'd be surprised if I don't start losing a few pounds again.
