you may be seeing less of me in future

inspired by a friend of mine, who has lost 3 stone, I decided it was finally time to do something about my weight.

I'm not actually dieting, insofar as I'm not following Atkins or GI or low fat or any such thing. I'm just thinking about what I eat, eating much more slowly, eating only when hungry, cutting down (but not out!) the alcohol, and drinking *lots* of water. I'm eating pretty much what I want, but less of it (it's the Paul McKenna approach, loosely).

June 4th - 12 st 5 lbs (173 lbs)
June 21st - 11 st 12 lbs (166lbs)

so - half a stone in 17 days. I'm well chuffed. A small w00t is in order, I think, and possibly even a rar!.

I shall continue to chart my progress, if anyone is interested. Or even if they're not, as it's a useful aide memoire for me.

Congrats! One of the few pleasant side effects of the current heat wave is that I feel more inclined to eat ice cubes instead of cheesecake.

Well done, glad the sensible way of dieting is working for you. I'd be ok if I didn't have such a cake habit.

In the first week since I've been exercising regularly I've managed to PUT ON 2 pounds! What the hell?

Congratulations dear heart, and keep it up! Losing a couple of pounds a week is supposed to be the safest weightloss rate.

I wish you low-fat success.
