Week 350

0.4lb loss!

Well, I'm more than happy with that. It was my birthday last week and the chocolate cake was soooo over indulged, I was certain I'd have put on 3lbs, so to have still made a loss is like an extra birthday treat

Week 349

0.4lb loss

Well I'd hoped for a bit more of a loss - especially as it's my birthday tomorrow so I'm likely to put on a pound or 2 from that - but at least it's a loss


Starting Weight: 19st 9lb - 275lbs
Current Weight: 13st 0.8lb - 182.8lbs
Body fat: 23.7%
Total Weight Loss: 92.2lbs

Week 348

5.6lb gain.

Even though that is over 2 weeks, and we were away on holiday with several treats, it's still quite shocking. That kind of gain is more associated with Christmas, and I didn't indulge on those levels.

Still, nothing I can do about it now other than get back on track...

Week 346

3lb loss in 2 weeks!

I was at the Wigtown Book Festival for 10 days as "Artist in Residence" (see main blog). Despite temptation, I pretty much stayed on track and am glad to see it paid off

Current Weight: 12st 9.6lb - 177.6lbs

Week 344

2.2lb loss

That'a relief after last week's gain!

Starting Weight: 19st 9lb - 275lbs
Current Weight: 12st 12.6lb - 180.6lbs
Body fat: 24.5%
Total Weight Loss: 94.4lbs

Week 343

4.4lb gain

Maggie and I were away for a weekend which resulted in meals out and trips to cafes, and even a rogue ice cream so it's hardly surprising, although still a bit more of a gain than expected

Starting Weight: 19st 9lb - 275lbs
Current Weight: 13st 0.8lb - 182.8lbs
Body fat: 24.9%

Week 342

No change

Current Weight: 12st 10.4lb - 178.4lbs
Body fat: 24.9%
Total Weight Loss: 96.6lbs

Week 341

3lb loss!

I've been on track all week, but I wasn't expecting a loss that big.

However, the gain was higher than I was expecting last week, so perhaps that was a blip included in it (or this is a blip and I'll be higher next week). I suspect my actual loss is probably more like one and a half to two pounds

Starting Weight: 19st 9lb - 275lbs
Current Weight: 12st 10.4lb - 178.4lbs
