Week 316

No change.

Hmmm. I've been pretty much on track for the past couple of weeks now, but have basically stayed at the same weight. Have I plateaued?

Week 314

1lb gain.

Well with my daughter's birthday last week, and the fact my wife and I managed a surprise short weekend away together, so that meant a meal out on Saturday and popcorn at the cinema, then I have to feel quite fortunate that it was only a 1lb gain.

But, apart from those things, I was completely on track all week. I seem to have reached a point where I am containing any extra eating - it's not triggering a series of binges. The following day - even the following meal - I'm back on track again.

Week 313 - 6 years

0.4lb loss.

To be honest, I was hoping for a bit more. I've been completely on track this week, and given the recent gains I thought a good week would make more of an indent.

Another reason for hoping for a greater loss was today is my daughter's birthday - this has meant a birthday dinner with lots of treats and a birthday cake - which is all going to show up in next week's figures, even if I stay completely on track again.

Meanwhile, perhaps I should mention that tomorrow (15th Feb) marks the 6th anniversary since we made the shift to focusing on healthy eating. Although I'm not actually that much lighter than I was 4 years ago

- see http://losingcwt.blogspot.com/2007/02/week-105.html

Most of the weight was lost in the first year, with most of the rest lost in the second. Since then it has crept up and down, rising to 26lbs more than I currently am, about 18 months ago, but also falling to around 8lbs lighter than I am now, back in late Autumn.

What is clear with all this, is that this is a lifetime thing. I will not reach the end. I will not reach a point where that will be it, I can just take my eye off the ball and just eat without monitoring.

Left without checking, my weight starts creeping up. Hell, it's been creeping up now, even though I am checking. But without the weekly excuses stats I put on this blog, I know it would be a lot worse.

Week 310

1.8lb gain.

Oh dear. Not so happy about that. I knew I wasn't going to lose anything but I'm a bit surprised by that level of gain.

Week 309

1.6lb loss!

Pleased with that. Been mostly on track with only a couple of small extras which I feared would count against me, but don't appear to have.

Relieved.

Week 308

0.8lb loss.

I'm pleased with this. When I stood on the scales this morning I was thinking my weight last week was what it was 2 weeks ago, so thought at first I'd put on over a pound. I was relieved when I checked and found I'd actually lost nearly a pound instead.

Week 307

2.2lb gain.

Well that could have been a whole lot worse.

Basically that's a 6.4lb gain across the Festive season. If I can get back on track this week, then I can feel satisfied that damage limitation strategies were largely successful. Although I'll feel happier once I've dropped back below 12 stone.
