Mea Culpa

Has it really been that long since I posted last. I guess the warm summer weather here in the UK has had me a little distracted. I've been trying to get out and about, getting plenty of fresh air and exercise. But that's no real excuse for neglecting the blog.

Anyway, here's the update on where I am at the moment...

In the last six weeks I've been trying to be 'good', and stick to my daily calorie allowance, but it's not been easy. For one thing, every time I lose a couple of pounds, my calorie allowance drops a little, making it ever more hard to stick to. And secondly, due to a culmination of various circumstances recently, I've been eating out a fair bit recently. And I guess we all know, when you eat out, it's really hard knowing exactly what you're eating.

But regardless of that, I'm still doing quite well. Not as well as I did at the start - not even I believed that I could maintain losing a stone a month - but still pretty good. I'm now down to exactly 20 stones. And with it, I'm excited to have reached another milestone in my journey.

I've also been out shopping for new clothes recently - nothing much; just tee shirts to wear in the warm weather - but it's been great being able to pick out clothes in size XXL, rather than 4XL or 5XL that I used to wear.

Indeed, almost all of my old clothes are now far too big for me. It's okay to slob about the house in shirts that drown me, but I can't really go out in them. So I'm having to make do with the regular rotation of just a few items that are the right size.

Start: 24st 3lbs (339lbs/154kg) - BMI 43.7
Current: 20st 0lbs (280lbs/127kg) - BMI 36.1
Target: 14st (196lbs/89kg) - BMI 25.3
Lost so far: 4st 3lbs (59lbs/27kg) - 41% of way to target
Still to go: 6st 0lbs (84lbs/38kg)

Congrats on your success! It's always a nice feeling being able to drop clothing sizes......even though it's expensive.
