Weight loss diary

233, it's a little frustrating that I'm back to where I was 6 weeks ago but on the bright side I'm back to my lowest weight and I think I've gained a fair bit of lean mass - my t-shirt sleeves are getting quite tight!

I don't think I'll reach my goal of doing an unassisted pull-up this year but it's going to be a close one.
 
231 for the week, flirting with 230 so I'm quite happy with that!

Another 3 pounds and I'll be at the 7 stone weight loss mark (16st 4lb) and then just 2 more pounds to the 100 mark... then a few more to 100kg.
 
231 again when rounding, I think I'm going to have to measure absolutely everything that I'm eating again and then reassessing my calorie intake wrt my calculated deficit.

My new cycle is going well, I've decided to do full body 3 times a week and then a cardio day with upper body (mostly back for pull-ups).
 
Well done. I've gone from 17st4 (242lbs) to 13st10 (192lbs) since March (3st8 / 50lbs down). Want to get to 12st7 by Xmas, so 17lbs to go in the next 10 weeks.

I've taken the last week and half to check what I'm doing and I've been consistently underestimating how much I'm eating.

I've started weighing porridge oats and rice etc. instead of using measuring cups, weighing fruit rather than going with myfitnesspal's suggested quantities.

I've not reduced what I've eaten so I've not lost anything, the next step is to cut 500 calories and see if the scale starts to drop again.
 
Well Halloween was not good for the diet this year, we bought far more than we needed (to be fair we had far fewer kids knocking on our door than previous years), and I've eaten too many chocolate and sweets.

I'm back up to about 235 which is frustrating, but it's proven to me that the bad habits are still there and that I'll fall back into old ways of I'm not mindful.

On the positive side my strength and cardio workouts on the weekend were probably the best I've had - Sundays I usually struggle with legs at the end of a full body day, but I managed to add more reps and sets to pretty much every exercise.
