15 stone 4.8. Not sure how I've managed that considering some of the shite I ate at the weekend in London but that's what the scales said. Going to weigh myself again tomorrow morning just to get a second opinion as I feel like that's not right, but if it is, this is the lightest I have been for years and I have lost over two stone in less than a year. If this weight is accurate, then I'll only need to lose just under five pounds in just over two months which even at this time of year is more than doable.

The fact that I didn't have a drink has obviously helped and even though I did eat badly on Saturday I did over 12k steps which must've offset it to an extent. I'm getting there though.

Fuck I forgot to do this this weekend

So er yeah, totally forgot. I mean I know nobody else actually cares but I want to keep doing this as it'll motivate me to actually try and lose weight, so.. 

Anyway, without even having to go for my morning constitutional (and I think I'd have come in at even less if I had done) I currently weigh in at 15 stone 6.7 which is over a pound down from before. I didn't go out drinking this weekend which I imagine will have helped, I did eat some shit at the weekend but not masses of it and clearly I haven't been doing too badly this week so far.

If I hit 15 5 then that'll be two stone in just under a year. It's taking a while but I'll get to where I want to be eventually.

Shit week

Hello to the apparent four of you that are reading this? 😂😂

Fucked up badly this weekend. Had a bit of an interim weigh-in to see how I was getting on on Thursday morning and I was down by 0.7 pounds. Drank quite a bit on Friday night, and didn't eat particularly well Friday or Saturday, and now I'm at 15 stone 8.5. So I'm down on last week, but only very slightly... going to have to try a lot harder this week. Though I'm looking for simple things I can do with small dumbbells at home. The ones I've ordered I think are maybe a little light, though at least I know I probably can't hurt myself if nothing else...

I want to reach at least 15 stone 8 by this time next week. Won't be drinking at all next weekend and will be doing my best to not eat shit during the week as well. If I do manage to hit 15 stone by the end of the year that'll be over two stone in 12 months, which I never really thought I'd manage. Wish the person that inspired me to start all this was still around, but nothing I can do about that now. Doing this just for myself now.

Where have I been

Well. I know nobody will ever read this again apart from me, but I'm going to use this to help me get back on track anyway. I hit my target, but I kind of fell off the wagon again, and then my now ex girlfriend Ashleigh left me which sent me on a mad eating and drinking binge, but I'm trying to get myself sorted out again now, mainly because I'm not sure anyone will ever be attracted to me again if I don't... 😂😂

I also bought much more accurate scales over the summer so I will be able to give a much more accurate picture.. To myself, since nobody is going to see this, I guess.

At this moment in time, I weigh 15 stone 8.7. I am aiming for 15 stone by the end of the year  Less than a pound a week will do that. I've bought a pair of dumbbells to help.

How have I been doing

Okay so, as you've noticed (lol who am I kidding), I haven't bothered with this for a while. No reason, I just couldn't be bothered to update it in all honesty.

Anyway, I got stuck on 16'4 for about 3 weeks, which changed on 11th March when I got myself down to 16'3, and this was the same last week too.

I've just gotten off the scales and I've managed to shed another couple of pounds since then, so I'm now 16'1! I'm only really mentally monitoring what I eat and drink now, though I feel like I'm in a position where I can now properly gauge how close I am to what I need to be at. I'm still shocked I've dropped two pounds since last Sunday though - especially as last Sunday my scales were flickering between 3 and 4 (before flashing on 3).

I'm setting myself a target of 15'5 (which will be a whole two stone down from where I began last December) by June 3rd (as that's the first Sunday of June, just to make it fair). So I'm fairly sure that's a pound per week. Very doable for me, I think. With the better weather coming too and hopefully moving to Glasgow (which entails a lot more walking) in the near future this gives me a lot more opportunity for exercise.

Okay I forgot to post this weekend...

But basically, I was down to 16'4.

I got to spend part of my weekend with Ash and I told her I'd managed to lose now just over a stone since I began this journey and she was really proud of me, which made me really happy. I'm probably going to fall short of 16 stone by 1st March now and we've both accepted that, I think, but I've done so well and I don't even really care all that much at the moment.

Now I just have to keep it going.

11/2

This week was particularly challenging as Friday was my birthday. I did my best to not eat shite, even had just a small slice of cake which was difficult as it was so good, and I only had one alcoholic drink - I only really drink cider unless I'm out which isn't particularly good for losing weight...

Anyway, with this in mind, I stepped on my scales this morning. It kept flickering between 16'6 and 16'5 (it's a digital one so you can't really see how far in between it is), which means I've not done badly at all this week. It'll still be a fucking task now reaching 16 stone, but I've lost a stone (or thereabouts) in 3 months. Even if I don't quite hit my main target, that is quite a big milestone for me, and I'll be pleased with myself, even if I don't get a present at the end of it.
