87.4kg/ 192.7 lbs. (BMI 25.8)
I'd swap this slippery slope for the ol' plateau unless I need to get back on the roller coaster :-(

Sure hope warm weather gets here to make walking more appealing :-(

87.2kg/ 192.3 lbs. (BMI 25.8)
Well, not much has changed for some time, but I thought I oughta to post to let you know about the ol' plateau :-(

Body fat %age: 19.6%
Body water %age: 54.4%


Whoops, that's not good.

Hmm, that kilo (2.2 lbs.) returned from two weeks ago but didn't bring its body fat %age friends!

Body fat %age: 19.4%
Body water %age: 54.6%

86.2kg/ 190 lbs. (BMI 25.5)
An encouraging week with the loss of a kilo to put me close to an even 190 plus a drop ion body fat% and an increase in body water%

Thanks for keeping me honest!
January 08, 2008
87.2kg / 192.3 lbs. (BMI 25.8)
Just like last week; however, body fat %age went down and body water %age went up:

1/2: 20.8% body fat; 53.5% body water
1/9: 20.2% body fat; 53.9% body water

Guess I'm doing something right!

87.2kg/ 192.3 lbs. (BMI 25.8
Hallelujah, the holidays are over :-)
Manged to lose 10 kg ~24 lbs. in 2007, and now my sights are halving that for ~4kg or ~10 lbs.
December 18, 2007
12/19 85.8kg/ 189.2 lbs. (BMI 25.3)
12/12 85.9kg/ 189.4 lbs. (BMI 25.4)
So early Christmas parties give us extra time to drop added weight
:-(

I'll be back in two weeks to note my starting weight for 2008. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
December 04, 2007
84.8kg/187 lbs. (healthy BMI 25.0)
Almost another half-pound loss, so there's still room for more!
November 27, 2007
85kg/187.4 lbs. (BMI 25.1)
A pound-and-a-half loss over Thanksgiving! Whoo-hoo!

The winter seeds and nuts, however, are putting my body fat back in the upper 19's lower 20 range.

Still going...
November 20, 2007
85.7kg/189 lbs. (BMI 25.3)

Just in time for Thanksgiving :-)
Nah, I'd really like to get back to at least 84.3kg/186 lbs. on my way down to 83kg/183 lbs

Minor bumps in the road are these obtrusive holidays.
November 13, 2007
86kg/189.6 lbs (BMI 25.4)

Obviously something went askew this week so, prayerfully, things will change for the better! (Shall I blame the two late night desserts I enjoyed with visiting relatives -ugh.)
November 06, 2007
11/7 84.3kg/186 lbs. (BMI 24.9)
10/31 85.7kg/189 lbs. (BMI 25.3)

Staying the course :-)
October 24, 2007
85kg/187.4 lbs. (BMI 25.1)

Still trying to get back to "normal" and was hoping to be at 83/183 before turning 43.
October 16, 2007
84.8kg/187 lbs. (BMI 25.0)
Nothing like a week of business workshops to keep the exercise level down and mindless snacking up - ugh!

But...here's to an even four-pound loss (1.8kg) in the coming weeks!
October 02, 2007
83.7kg/184.6 lbs (BMI 24.7)
17.7% body fat, 55.9% body water
Well, a new plateau in the area of body fat and body water tells me I must get back to those morning walks; unfortunately, an upcoming 10-day business trip is going to monkey with that (ugh). Now there's a good topic: maintaining diet/exercise while traveling!
September 25, 2007
84.7kg/186.8 lbs (BMI 25.0)
17.7% body fat, 56% body water
Beats me.

How do I manage to gain weight but lose body fat?
September 18, 2007
83.5kg/184.2 lbs (BMI 24.7)
18.5% body fat, 55.1% body water
Ugh.

Gotta get back to walking or change the time as it's too dark in the morning (sigh). Sure don't wanna hit another long plateau as I'm so close to that coveted 83kg/183 lbs.

Planning on staying healthy!

83.5kg/184.2 lbs (BMI 24.7)
17.5% body fat, 56.0% body water
Wow, even after a week's loss of exercise, I still managed to drop a little weight. Somebody loves me :-)

I still want to get to 83kg/183 lbs with 60% body water, and it can be done because all things are possible with Him.

Missing a few morning walks apparently upped my body fat %age. Off to regain my routine her ein a few moments...

My 'official' stats for the last 52 weeks:
-20.2kg equals a loss of 44.5 lbs
August 28, 2007
Well, good news/bad news...I managed to pack on an extra 1.6kg/2.8 lbs 84.6kg/186.5 lbs (BMI 25.0), but[/] my body fat percentage went down to 16.8-17% with my body water percentage increasing to 56.7-56.9%

In addition to five morning walks of at least an hour, I also enjoyed an hour or so of rollerskating with my daughter. We're still moving into a new apartment, so I can see some stress to accompnay the additional exercise.

Next week will mark my 52nd week when I began at 104kg/229.3 lbs, giving me (so far) a net loss of almost 43 lbs (19.4kg) in almost a year (I can be more definite next week ).
August 21, 2007
Well, we're getting closer after a 400g/0.9 lb. loss to:
83.3kg/183.7 lbs (BMI 24.6)

My body fat is 17.9-18.0% (still trying for 16%) and body water is between 55.5-55.6% (shooting for 60%).

I've been weighing myself as soon as the alarm goes off but will change that to early evenings (~6pm) once I've had ~4 consecutive weeks under my 83kg/183 lb weight goal. I'll also target 5-6 sixty-minute walks in a week.

I also hope to find a new doctor, now that we've moved, to see where my "other numbers" are (BP, LDL, HDL, etc).

New targets, coming soon!
August 16, 2007
Thanks, C I.
Congratulations on the proximity of your next goal! Way to go :-)

I went to Fuddrucker's, disregarding my normal healthy eating habits, and had one of the best tasting meals I've ever had!

The poor combination, however, of bread and meat (carbohydrates and proteins) put me into a deep sleep that led me to ignore my 5am alarm for my 60min morning walk. Ugh.

I'll walk tomorrow morning :-)
August 15, 2007
Oooh 2 lbs to go! Great work :) I'm 2 lbs to go too, but to one of my mini goals.
August 14, 2007
Hmm, looks like last week's post didn't make it.
8/8: 85.8kg/189.2, 18.6% body fat, 55.2% water, 25.3 BMI

Today! 83.7kg/184.6 lbs (BMI 24.7)
Man, am I excited!

My body fat is ~17.9% (wanna see 16% or less) and my water %age is 55.6 (wanna see 60% )

Next week could see me reach the weight goal :-)
August 01, 2007
Whoo-hoo!! My body fat has finally made it to the teens!
Body Fat = 17.7-17.9% with Body Water up to 56-56.1%!

I managed to add 400g to put me at 86.4kg/190.5 lbs (BMI 25.5); however, now that we've 'completed' our move (well, almost) I started back to my hour of walking and, man, I love my neighborhood!

Seeing next week's weigh-in after a week back walking is gonna be great! I want to hit that 25.0 BMI (84.35kg/186 lbs.) on the way to my sought-after 183 lbs :-)
July 24, 2007
Strange two weeks now that I'm back to 86kg/189.6 lbs (BMI 25.4)

This day, of course, will be marked as the day my laptop's hard drive began clicking and one for which I'm thankful for his/hers computers. Did I mention the movers are coming tomorrow?

So, yes, the stress is on :-)
July 17, 2007
Well, my body fat percentage dipped into the teens this morning (19.9%) before leveling out at 20.1%, down 0.2% from last week; however, I managed to 'add' almost 2kg/4 lbs to go back to 87.5kg/193 lbs (BMI 25.8). Yuck.

Either this is a temporary setback or that lousy fat-hugging stress hormone has shown up (t minus ten days or so before the movers arrive, and we're still trying to live).

Anyway, hallelujah, it's a new week! If I can gain that much in a week, then what keeps me from losing it this week!?
July 10, 2007
A week 'back to normal' saw another 600g drop, leaving me at 85.7kg/189 lbs (BMI 25.3)

The movers come in about two weeks, and it would be nice to see these final 6 lbs./ ~3kg move away for good, too!

July 05, 2007
Thanks, C I. I may need to readjust my target date, but being here is certainly an extra measure of accountability.

Numerous friends have commented on my progress, some suggesting that i stop at my target weight, a definite 'absolute' on my part.

I appreciate your encouragement. Thanks!
July 04, 2007
Congrats on your progress. Only 7 more pounds to go! Keep up the good work :)
July 03, 2007
A two-week training session away from Internet access kept me from updating my progress; nonetheless, a Happy 4th of July to those in the US!

A near-two pound loss shows me getting closer to my 83kg/183lb. target weight as I now weigh 86.3kg/190.3 lbs. (BMI 25.5)

We're in the process of moving, C I, so the rebounder (unfortunately) has been packed away :*-) My exercise now consists of packing/lifting boxes - ugh.

I've read where the stress of moving can bump up a certain fat-cell hugging hormone so, hopefully, I can continue to relax during this major life adjustment. If I can't, then I know He is Able!
June 30, 2007
How's the rebounding going?
June 13, 2007
A 1lb. loss this week found me at87.1kg/192.06lbs (BMI 25.7)

I'll be out of town for the next two weeks, so I'll miss my weekly weigh-in.

July 4 is my next weigh-in. See you then!
June 06, 2007
A 3lb. loss this week found me at 87.6kg/193.16 lbs (BMI 25.9)

I've now met four of five goals (scroll down)with the final goal hitting 83kg/183 lbs. Hmm, perhaps I should evaluate these next ten pounds?
May 30, 2007
Whoops, PS... my six-month progress:

Dec '06 to Feb '07 = 9.2kg/20.25 lbs.
Mar-May '07 = 3.9kg/8.6 lbs. (*not asmuch exercise)
sub-total = 13.1kg/28.8 lbs. in six months (102.1-89kg/225-196 lbs.)
May 30, 2007
Hmm, that humus/ice coffee fast is working: another pound is gone!

The May 30 weigh-in = 600g/1.25 lbs as I now stand at 89.0kg/196.25 lbs. (BMI 26.3)

Our daughter turns 8 today, so here comes some post-5pm cake and ice cream; fortunately, the Fit for Life way of eating allows for such exceptions - ain't a habit no mo'!

Thanks for being there, holding me accountable!
May 23, 2007
Two weeks away from humus and ice coffee and, whoo-hoo, another pound is gone!

Today's "Wednesday Weigh-in" showed a 400g/0.88 lbs drop to 89.6kg/197.568 lbs. (BMI 26.5)

My target weight is 183, so my next goal is 88kg/194 lbs. (BMI 26).
Once I hit 84.3kg/186 lbs., my BMI will be a "normal" 25.
Three fewer pounds later and I'm at 83kg/183 (BMI 24.5)
