Lost 42.4 lbs in 11 weeks

Just hit my first weight loss goal, I have lost 43.3 lbs in 11 weeks, now setting myself 1/2 stone (7 lbs) new target to lose, I figure smaller targets from here on in to aim at.




Also took my blood pressure this morning was 134/80 55 pulse, so seeing real improvement in my high blood pressure.

Walking in the woods which has a lot of hills 7 days a week, taking up golf, average steps 25k a day, I keep moving until I have burnt 5000 calories, I have not eaten more than 2000 cals in any day but aim at 1500 or less, I park the car as far away from shops when going out. If I go to the fridge before I open the door I walk across the field opposite my house and back about 1200 steps, this gives me time to think do I really want that snack, if I decide yes then at least I have offset some of the calories, I never use the loo downstairs any more, all silly things but they work for me. I now look for excuses to move.

I don't eat takeaway curry's or drink that much larger and wine any more, I do have a glass of red wine most days if / when I have burnt 5000 calories, I am now aware of what calories I eat, but still eat everything I like. I made my mind up that I wanted to be able to eat and drink what I liked in the future without gaining weight, the only way to do it is move & move again and again, I still have a long way to go, at least 2 more stone before I am not overweight.

If you doubt your ability to lose weight, I never moved off the sofa, ate and drank way too much, bought a fitbit surge and started moving the rest is history, my wife and kids all now have fitbits and are all seeing significant losses, these watches and groups should be funded by the NHS given the success.

Get moving and lose the fat.
