My Weight Loss Update - Feb 1st 2008

February 1, 2008

Ok, it’s the 1st of Feb and I’m taking this as my official start to reaching my goal of losing 40kg in 12 months. I’ll try to keep these updates as regular as possible – the plan for now is about 2-3 times a week, but I’ll reassess that at the end of the month once I see how it is going.

If you’re trying to lose weight as well, I would welcome any comments you may have at the end of this post – why not share with us one or two things you’ve done in the past couple of days that is helping you to lose weight? The more people we have participating in these updates, the better motivated we’ll be to do that little bit better!

There’s probably no point to making note of my weight everyday – in fact it’s probably not a good habit to get into as factors such as water gain/loss can be greater than the actual weight you may have lost which tend to make the day-to-day results more or less irrelevant. Instead, I’ll document my weight each week, I’ll make the official ‘weigh-in’ every Friday at 8am - I’ll even try to take a photo of the scales each time so that I have proof!

Let’s get the ball rolling, my current weight is: 131kg

…and here is what the scales look like (believe it or not, my camera - which I’m holding to take this photo - weighs exactly 0.3kg!):

131kg Feb 1st 2008

What have I been doing these last few days? The important one is starting my weight loss program, which has meant changing my diet as I documented in my earlier post How I plan to lose 40kg in 12 months (part 1), the other major thing I have done is to start this blog!

Having made the choice to lose weight and open myself up in this blog really empowers you to do more – I feel revitalised, I feel fantastic, I feel… in control.

So what have you done today that will help you take control of your weight?
