The scales must go!

Those damn bathroom scales must go! I’ve discovered that they are not only inaccurate, more importantly – they are also inconsistent! I weighed myself this morning and they indicated 14 st 12 lbs. I went and peed out about a pint or so and then reweighed myself. Apparently losing a pint of urine had increased [...]

Progress Report – Week 51

Well, I’m back from my Christmas break in Coventry. I ate more than I normally do, but not as much as I normally do at Christmas time! As usual at this time of year, I drank too much alcohol as well and did not get as much exercise as I’d have liked. So, what’s the [...]

Progress Report – Week 50

Well, it was the first week all year that I officially didn’t get any exercise (except for when I’ve been ill)! The wintry weather didn’t help, but I shouldn’t make excuses – I’ve been in hibernation mode, just waiting for the Winter Solstice to arrive, and at last it has – today! There is a [...]

Progress Report – Week 49

I got two decent bike rides in last week and they were just enough to balance out my increased winter calorie intake. So… no weight loss progress, but no further damage – I’m still 14 stone 9 pounds (205 pounds, 93 kg). To be honest, with the Winter Solstice approaching, a bad weather forecast, and [...]

Progress Report – Week 48

Progress Report – Week 47

I didn’t lose any weight last week, but I only got one bike ride in so I’m not really surprised. I did a decent ride yesterday and feel much better than I have for the past few weeks so I feel ready to make a big effort on the run up to Christmas Oh, well… [...]

Progress Report – Week 46

There was no overall change in my weight over the past week. I actually lost weight at the start of the week but then put it back on again. It’s not surprising, given that I haven’t done anything energetic for 2 weeks now, due to having a bad cold and the weather in northern England [...]

Progress Report – Week 45

I’ve moderated my beer drinking and am losing weight again. It is time to resurrect the progress reports so, yes, the hairy gut photos are back, but they will only be featured when I actually lose weight. I want to have a photographic record of every stage of my weight loss, but there doesn’t seem [...]
