Current Weight
10st 2lb
(Week #16 - Weekly Loss 1lb / Total Loss 1st 13lb)
Another week and another pound off! That's four months now with a loss of nearly two stone. Maybe more importantly that is 16 weeks without a gain. Not even once. I've got to take pride in that. I'm not overly great at blowing my own trumpet, and in my mind I'm still not where I want to be but all that aside, I've got to be proud what I have achieved so far.
I know I've banged on about this before, but I think it's important to mention it again, and that is what I've lost hasn't been done by splashing cash at the problem, in the form of the gym, fitness equipment or even those weight-loss tablets. I've done this by simply eating better and getting more exercise. Cutting out the snacks has been the biggest difference maker for me. I've cut back big-time on cheese, bread and crisps. I've completely eradicated microwave ready meals. I used to live on "ding-ding food" before I could cook!!
It's not been a treat-free week though. On Friday I had a bottle of wine and the odd bag of crisps that go with it. Saturday evening I had a chicken curry with naan bread. That's the point though, I've not been eating rabbit food to get to where I am at. In fact, I enjoy every meal I have. I don't see the point in starving myself or living on salads just to lose weight quickly. I'll reiterate once again, this is not a fad, nor some "diet". It's not a 90 day plan (good, because this is the 114th day!), and it is not something I'm going to stop doing when I get to my desired weight. What happens at that point is I allow a few more treats, but not many. I haven't worked my arse off (literally!) just to yo-yo back up to where I was at.
Finally for today, four months later, I'd like to thank everyone who has been helping me with this. Those who understand and support me. Those who have told me I've inspired them to do the same - seriously! Those who inspire me and keep me going when I need it the most. Those who click 'Like' in the Reactions. Those who click 'Dislike' in the Reactions. Especially those who take the time to comment. Thank you, if ever there is a moment of self-doubt, this blog serves as the mechanism to lift me up - and that's much easier to do 16 weeks on, I weigh less!!!

Tsk tsk, you forgot to thank your manager, producer and family!
Well done on another loss, I am constantly in awe of the way you have managed to stick with it, you have every right to be proud (trying hard to not sound patronising or like a school teacher here!!)
I have been "off" my food recently (I blame the drugs etc) and have hardly been eating. Have lost a few lbs but I know they will go back on once I am eating regular portions. Thing I have noticed is that there is still a line on those scales I cannot cross. I think the only way I will get past them is with exercise etc and that's out of the question, so am going to have to learn self happiness. Not that I am unhappy with my weight anyway, but everyone always thinks they would be happier if they lost another couple lbs!
Anyway I digress from my praise! Well done that man!
