Take a Look at This!

In my last progress report, I wrote: My original waist measurement was 45″, last week it was 39.5″, this week it is a smidge under 39.5″ but I won’t claim any loss because I think I had the tape measure too tight last week. That is a total loss so far of 5.5″ (all rounded [...]

Weight Loss Progress – Week 12

I started this year weighing 220.0 pounds (15 stone 10.0 pounds, 99.8 kg). Last week, I weighed 210.6 pounds (15 stone 0.6 pounds, 95.5 kg). This week, I weigh 209.4 pounds (14 stone 13.4 pounds, 95.5 kg). That’s a loss of 1.2 pounds, or just over 0.5 kg. Total weight loss so far is 10.6 [...]

Walk – Callis Wood to Horsehold

Lisa and I decided to do the Callis Wood walk again. It’s a good one to do when (like today) we only have about 90 minutes free. We were late setting off and we wanted to catch the Co-op supermarket on the way back before it shut at 17:00 The sun was shining, conditions were [...]

Exercise Bike Session

It’s been a lazy week so far, probably the least active this year in fact. Having told Alun just a few days ago that I wouldn’t be using my exercise bike again until about November, the UK weather turned wintry again. I could have nipped out on my bike in between the downpours and bouts [...]

My New Trousers!

Way back in my post Weight Loss Progress – Week 5, I said: The fat is coming off steadily, therefore so are the inches off my waist and people are starting to notice. My sister bought me a pair of 38 inch waist trousers a couple of months back. She knew that I was far [...]

Road Ride – Lower Wharfedale Loop

For once, today’s ride didn’t start from Hebden Bridge and it wasn’t organised by me but by Colly, a fellow member of the CycleChat forum. He lives in a village just north of Leeds and has been over here to do a few of my rides, and today it was time for me to ride [...]

Weight Loss Progress – Week 11

I started this year weighing 220.0 pounds (15 stone 10.0 pounds, 99.8 kg). Last week, I weighed 211.7 pounds (15 stone 1.7 pounds, 96.0 kg). This week, I weigh 210.6 pounds (15 stone 0.6 pounds, 95.5 kg). That’s a loss of 1.1 pounds, or 0.5 kg. Total weight loss so far is 9.4 pounds or [...]

Walk – Mytholmroyd and Back

Lisa and I did a repeat of last Saturday’s walk to the shops in Mytholmroyd (about a 3 mile round trip). There were quite a few people strolling along the canal towpath today. I didn’t bother taking any photographs because the light conditions weren’t really very good. It had been a lovely sunny morning but [...]
