18th Weigh-in: 4lbs Down & 15 Inches Slashed!
I am really excited about this weeks results, I have lost 4lbs! Ok since I beefed up a bit while in Scotland I forgot about measuring my waist and hips then I thought this morning I’ll give it a go. To my surprise my waist measured in at 42 inches! When I started back in January (08) my waist was 57 inches, so I have slashed off 15 inches!!
I have also brought my hips down from 52 inches to 47 inches, a loss of 5 inches. This makes my waist-to-hip ratio (42 divided by 47) 0.89 which was a shocking 1.09 when I started back in January.
15 inches off my waist impresses me more than the 4 lbs that I dropped this week. I know why my weight dropped so much this week, as I had a fever on Tuesday and Wednesday and that’s what normally happens; I can lose about 2lbs if I have a fever; not a great diet tactic. Usually if I lose weight due to having a fever the weight will come back on when I am better, let’s hope it doesn’t!

Way 2 go!
Those non-scale victories are sometimes so much more rewarding than what the scale says.

Hi Irene,
Yep non-scale progress is more impressive to me. Thank you for your continual encouragement.
I haven’t forgotten about your fish recipe, my wife has written it out and all I have to do now is translate it into English, I should have it up within a few days.
Take care,
Andrew

Hi John, yep consistency is the key, I am not on a diet, I have changed my whole outlook on my eating, then the exercise is causing lots of changes and the results are exciting; this is what is keeping me consistent!
Take care,
Andrew

Almost halfway there? That’s such a great milestone for the mental game alone!
But you’re right – those fifteen inches are ridiculous! Nicely done!

Hi Will,
Yeah I can’t wait to hit the halfway mark. Losing 2lbs a week at the start back in January (08) didn’t seem like much but now, it is just right, and it feels fast.
Thanks for the encouragement Will!
Take care,
Andrew
