Last Year's Weighty Problem Page

Last update: 19th January, 1997

This is the record of my miserable attempt at weight loss for last year. This year I'm hoping for great things...

I'll be dodging grids in case I fall down them soon!

My maximum during June --- December 1996 was
17st 4lb (=242lb =109.9kg)
and my minimum was
16st 7lb (=231lb =104.9kg)

17 June, 1996 -

16st 13lb (=237lb =107.5kg)

23 June, 1996 -

16st 13lb (=237lb =107.5kg)
No change - but at least there's no increase!

30 June, 1996 -

16st 11lb (=235lb =106.7kg)
Ah! Some sign of success...

6th August, 1996 -

16st 9lb (=233lb =105.8kg)
Another 2lb gone --- nice, steady rate of descent [grin]

13th August, 1996 -

16st 9lb (=233lb =105.8kg)
Aw, stuck for a week --- I shouldn't have had that pizza on Saturday!

20th August, 1996 -

16st 7lb (=231lb =104.9kg)
That's better --- back on the downward trend.

27th August, 1996 -

16st 11lb (=235lb =106.7kg)
Arrrgh!!!! 4 pounds gain. I blame the scales.

3rd September, 1996 -

17st 1lb (=239lb =108.5kg)
Oh no, another 4 pounds gain. Those scales can't be right!

10th September, 1996 -

17st 0lb (=238lb =108.1kg)
Ah, back to the right direction...

17th September, 1996 -

17st 1lb (=239lb =108.6kg)
Drat --- got some new scales, and they do this to me!

24th September, 1996 -

17st 0lb (=238lb =108.1kg)
Okay, back down again --- let's see if I can maintain it.

1st October, 1996 -

17st 0lb (=238lb =108.1kg)
Stuck at 17st: still a pound up on my starting weight, but at least it's no more than last week.

8th October, 1996 -

17st 0lb (=238lb =108.1kg)
Crikey! Still 17st... now I've got to keep a food diary.
I've got to write down everything I eat: Doctors orders!

15th October, 1996 -

17st 1lb (=239lb =108.6kg)
So much for the food diary, I've put on another pound --- I was doing better without the food diary.
I know what I'm eating now though... don't worry, I won't load that on you lot! [grin]

22th October, 1996 -

17st 3lb (=241lb =109.4kg)
I've put on another two pounds --- I'm definately eating something I shouldn't.
I'll try harder this next week... no more chocolate :-)

29th October, 1996 -

17st 4lb (=242lb =109.9kg)
Right that's it! I refuse to get any heavier!!
I've resisted this next move like mad --- I'm starting counting calories! I'll try to stick to 1500 calories per day initially.
Let you know next week if I manage to keep to it ;-)

5th November, 1996 -

17st (=238lb =108.0kg)
At last!!! I've kept to my calorie counting, even when I went to a Cursillo Ultreya on Saturday.
So, that's four pounds off --- it feels a whole lot better already! [grin]

12th November, 1996 -

16st 10lb (=234lb =106.2kg)
This is better --- at last I'm back below what I started at. Things are looking up.

19th November, 1996 -

16st 9lb (=233lb =105.8kg)
Another pound off --- okay, it's not as good as the last two weeks, but I don't want to rush it either ;-)

27th November, 1996 -

16st 12lb (=236lb =107.1kg)
Drat --- back in the wrong direction... well, with renewed vigour I shall plow onward (or downward to be more exacting [grin]).

3rd December, 1996 -

16st 12lb (=236lb =107.1kg)
Well, the last official weigh-in of 1996. The club at work has disolved for Christmas... We've been putting in £1 per week, and an extra 10p for each pound gained in a week, so I've come out with about £22 to do with as I wish.... I'm tempted to blow it all on chocolate [grin]
In fact I'm going to treat Fiona (my wife) to something nice for Christmas.
We'll be starting up the weigh-ins after Christmas, so I've got to be careful over this festive season to go easy on the Christmas pud and trifles.
