Lockdown Weight Gone

I'm not actually sure what my weight was in lockdown. I weighed myself in early January 2020 and was 200lbs. By March, that may have crept up by a pound or two. It certainly won't have crept down. So I know that by the time we entered lockdown, I weighed at least 200lbs, maybe a lb or two more.

Over the next nine months, I piled on the lbs up to 220lbs just after Christmas this year. A combination of being at home alone all day allowed me to indulge my binging habits, and boredom made it harder to stop. In addition, I was missing out on the exercise I would get every day just by walking to the train, walking around a large office etc.

So I started on 4 January 2021 trying to lose my lockdown weight first. And this morning I reached that goal - I am now below 200lbs for the first time in at least fifteen months.

Although I do have an end goal in mind, I prefer to think of weight loss as a series of milestones. Today was a pretty big milestone.

My next one will hopefully come over the next week or two. Losing another two pounds will make me overweight and not obese!

Apologies for the weirdly cropped photos - I didn't want my face in, and the bottom half was just in underwear so...
