This blog started as a record of my journey from being classed as Obese to my target weight. Starting at 170cm and weighing in at 86.3kg my aim was to get to a healthy weight which should be around 69.9kg. Along the way, i've joined a gym, taken up running and now completing Parkruns.

Goal 3!
A great end to the week, Goal 3 well and truly hit and a 1.7Kg loss. Lots of running this week, what started as a 2K park run challenge now seems too small and I'm moving towards 5K. Weigh in at 74.8Kg today, an 11.5Kg overall loss. Only another 6.5 to go

I think it's time to join a gym
13 weeks of British Summer and I haven't been rained off on the morning walk yet, until this week. It's got cold, dark and now very wet so I need to think about a "Plan B" and start toning up a little but have somewhere I can do cardio as well. I was a member at David Lloyds a few years ago, great Gym but very expensive. My local leisure centre has an Impulse Leisure gym in so I need to get some prices and join the family.
Another 1.2Kg down and 0.2 off Goal 3 so all is good still.

Noticeable!
With being away from work for some time now, I made it into HQ for a few days and people noticed the difference without me saying what I've been doing. "How can you lose weight after posting everything you have eaten for the last 3 weeks on Facebook?" was one of my favourites. Still not quite got over the Cape Town peak but down to 77.7Kg now and a 2.1Kg loss last week. I'm now at an 8.6Kg loss overall and up to 2 mile run.

A very large blip
A fantastic South Africa trip, good food, company and diving with some Great White Sharks but it all came at a price. A 2.4Kg gain. Beer is the enemy here, so lets knock that on the head and abstain until I hit my target. I was so close to my next target though but back up to Goal 1 territory with a 79.8Kg weigh in.
Some things I saw, and some I ate this week.

1.7Kg off, nearly at goal 3
Another awesome week. The runs have gotten longer, now over a mile and starting to think that a Park Run is a good target. 77.4Kg and just short of goal 3. As I said last week, off to Cape Town next week and expect some catching up to do when I get back. I'm 4Kg ahead of plan so all good!

Half Kilo Gain
Jet lag hit me pretty hard this week so I was Mr Keen and waiting for the Gym to open at the Aria Hotel at 0500.
Good food, and a load of cocktails and only half a KG gain. I'll hit it hard next week, another overseas trip with work coming up to South Africa and that one will be a lot of beer, and a lot of steak so better get some negative KG's in the bank to cover it!

2.4Kg and hit Goal 2
After last weeks gain, I've worked hard this week and even managed a little jog on my morning dog walk. Not far, but I'll keep increasing the distance on this to see how far I can take this. I'm now at 78.6kg so reached the 12.5 stone mark and really pleased. Another trip next week but this one is work, expect a gain next week but the gym should keep me honest.
Next stop Vegas!!!
