2lbs this week. It is within my target so should be happy but its not quite 9 or 5 although i do know thats unlikely again as first week was probably mainly fluid.

Starting Weight - 20 stone 13 lbs
Target Weight - 12 stone 13 lbs
Week 01 (04 Oct) - Lost 9 lbs
Week 02 (11 Oct) - Lost 5 lbs
Week 03 (18 Oct) - Lost 2 lbs
Total Loss So Far - 16 lbs (1 stone 2 lbs)
Current Weight - 19 stone 11 lbs

Next Weigh in (25 Oct)

The original goals were
a) Lose 10% so roughly just over 2 stone by New Year
b) Maintain and lose 2 pounds per week
c) To have lost 3 stone by February
d) To have lost 5 stone by May
e) To have lost 7 stone by August
f) To run next years Great North Run
g) Eventually lose 8 stone and get under the 13st mark by 31st December 2007

Well done...
keep it up

[madasahatstand]

nice one. how are you finding it?

[Ukgatsby]

Ty Ty

finding it ok at the moment. WW for those who dont know is based on a daily points system where everything has a points value. The points you are allowed are determined by

a) sex
b) age
c) starting weight
etc

so obviously i get a lot more points daily than say a 20 year old lady who weighs 9 stone and wants to lose 10 lbs

Nothing is forbidden but treats have higher points values so its just about moderation and being sensible. I havent actually started proper exercise yet as am trying to maintain 2 lbs per week loss so will exercise more as i get lighter.

The big moment will be once i have lost a lot more and am sticking rigidly and barely losing as obviously the more you lose the slower it happens. There is no way on earth that the final 1.5 stone will come off in 5 weeks.

Cant speak highly enough of Weightwatchers. Felt really strange joining up and then attending the meeting afterwards and sitting there in a hall full of women as the only guy but after 5 weeks it feels normal and comfortable.

The Christmas Party should be fun

Well done so far and good luck with the rest of it. 

[Poppet7]

Well done, keep it up! You're doing great!

[Ukgatsby]

Another 2.5lbs tonight (Week 07)
Thats 25.5 lbs altogether
