I was able to slash off 3lbs this week bringing me down to 228lbs (16.4st) so I am very pleased with that, and getting out of the 230s.

So with July upon us we are already half way through 2010 and I am really excited with what will happen in the second half of the year.

I tanked in back in January at 282lbs (20.2st) and I scraped and sold things on eBay to get 3 months with a personal trainer which I believe has been the catalyst to the success that I have had in the last 6 months. Before when I was working out on my own I’d be working out for about 60 – 90 min per session 6 days a week, but since the beginning of this year I started with three 30 min strength training workouts per week and three 20 min runs per week.

So before I was training on average for about 7-8 hours per week and losing about 1-2lbs a week and I am now training about 2.5 – 3 hours per week and I am losing about 2 – 3lbs per week; so I am training smarter not longer and getting great results.

Another thing that I never expected was having no gains in the last 6 months (apart from muscle gains!) I have been going down on the scales nearly every weigh-in, I have had a few weeks of no movers but I am relieved that I didn’t go up!

Here is my fat-loss graph since January 2010;

This weigh-in also marks 7 weeks remaining before I jet set off to Premier Training in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England to get stuck into a ten week intensive study for a diploma in personal training.  I am still hoping to clock in at 210lbs (15st) before I leave; so there is still a lot of work to be done before then.
