03-07-2022 - 267/236.5/175 - 33.8 BMI:

week #19 - 16st 12.5lb - 2.5lb loss this week - 30.5lb loss total.

I've now lost 1/3rd of what I need to lose to get to a BMI of 25, which is my (initial) target, which I'm pretty happy about. I have noticeably less of a "spare tyre" going on around my waist & I can get into a lot more trousers than I could before.

12-07-2022 - 267/239/175 - 34.1 BMI:

week #20 - 17st 1lb - 2.5lb gain this week 28lb loss total.

I seem to have gained 2.5lb this week, which seems unlikely, but there's no arguing with the scales I suppose.

I went on my sailing course at the weekend & had a great time - I wasn't even bothered about being rather lumpy in the wetsuit. I am so unfit though that I could barely walk yesterday, my legs were so painful (which may possibly account for some of the weight gain?). but it's all good exercise & I'm so sedentary normally that anything that makes me a bit more active is a benefit.

17-07-2022 - 267/233/175 - 33.2 BMI:

week #21 - 16st 9b - 6lb loss this week 34lb loss total.

rather remarkably I appear to have lost 6lb this week! it seems like my rogue gain from last week disappeared once my sore legs stopped hurting so I presume they must have been retaining water or something while they healed. also, it's been pretty hot (for the UK) here so I haven't felt like eating very much.

25-07-2022 - 267/235.5/175 - 33.6 BMI:

week #22 - 16st 11.5lb - 2.5lb gain this week 31.5lb loss total.

I went sailing again yesterday & I'm aching in multiple places, so I've put on weight again, even though I was 3lb lighter yesterday, so go figure.

I'm feeling better generally for being a bit more active, even though I'm suffering for it right now!

I got hungry a few times this week & snacked on my nemesis, bread, which probably didn't help. I will need to find an alternative that will fill me up without the calories. I tried a slimfast shake this week which was vile, so that won't be the alternative.

week #23 - 16st 9lb - 2.5lb loss this week 34lb loss total.

back down to 233lb this week, even after sailing again yesterday, although I'm much less achey today.

07-08-2022 - 267/231/175 - 33.0 BMI

week #24 - 16st 7lb - 2lb loss this week 36lb loss total.

back down to my pre-Covid weight now - I piled on a *lot* of weight over the lockdowns but making good progress - down another BMI point.

14-08-2022 - 267/231/175 - 33.0 BMI

week #25 - 16st 7lb - no change this week - 36lb loss total.

not much to report this week. I'm not conscious of having eaten more than usual this week, but maybe I haven't been paying enough attention. more attention to be paid this week coming!

22-08-2022 - 267/229/175 - 32.7 BMI

week #26 - 16st 5lb - 2lb loss this week - 38lb loss total.

2lb loss this week.

I'm now at six months losing weight, almost exactly 1.5lb/week over that time, which I'm pretty happy with - well done me.

30-08-2022 - 267/227.5/175 - 32.5 BMI

week #27 - 16st 3.5lb - 1.5lb loss this week - 39.5lb loss total.

1.5lb loss this week.

10-09-2022 - 267/226.5/175 - 32.4 BMI

week #29 - 16st 2.5lb - 1lb loss over the last two weeks - 40.5lb loss total.

just 1lb loss over the last two weeks. not as much as I would have liked, but still going in the right direction. over 40lb loss now.

24-09-2022 - 267/225/175 - 32.1 BMI

week #31 - 16st 1lb - 1.5lb loss over the last two weeks - 42lb loss total.

three stone lost now - go me

17-10-2022 - 267/223/175 - 31.8 BMI

week #34 - 15st 13lb. my weight loss has plateaued a bit lately. with the weather turning colder I'm being drawn towards more substantial food & I need to figure out what I want to be eating to maintain some level of loss, even if it's a bit slower than it has been over the Spring/Summer.

07-11-2022 - 267/223.75/175 - 32.0 BMI

week #37 - 15st 13.75lb. a bit all over the place still. I put on a few pounds then lost most of it again, but I feel like I have my mojo back.

I've set myself a 15st13lb target in the November Weight Loss Challenge thread, but hopefully I can do rather better than that.

15st7lb is my new target for the end of the year.
