STARTING WEIGHT: 229.5 lbs
ENDING WEIGHT: 228.2 lbs
WEIGHT LOSS: 1.3 lbs
Of course, the above weight loss for a two-week period is quite low. I actually lost more than this in the week before the holiday, so must have gained a little while I was away. Still, given how much I was eating on holiday (endless plates of schnitzel, goulash and torte), it's amazing I didn't put on more - a combination of being on our feet all day and getting very little sleep must have done it! (When I say we got three hours sleep a night that's not hyperbole, but the time between setting the alarm and it going off!)
The holiday was fantastic too. Got a chance to practice my German while in Austria (I lived in Germany for three years waaaay back), and made trips out to Slovenia and Slovakia while we were there too. I can't even begin to describe everything we've done, but I'll give you my top three - taking a hot air balloon ride in the mountains, having dinner in a castle, and attending a Mozart concert in the Golden Hall in Vienna!
Got my brother's stag party this coming weekend, so off again, this time back to Belgium (where I also lived, for six years). Not as worried weight-wise about that one - its bound to be focussed more on the alcohol than the food! Still, I have to be careful - although I've consistently seen a loss, the small results over the last few months has actually put me behind schedule weight-wise. I am a couple of pounds heavier now than I would be if I had hit my target every week. I'm not too worried - I keep seeing losses, and don't mind if they're smaller than I would like, as long as they are there!

I have not seen a naked man abdomen that is so close to the you know where place in a while...are you dating? LOL just kidding.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. You will be competing with Charlie on Adonis DNA theories and showing him the real thing!
Lol why, that's enough to make a grown man blush! Fear not, every picture is diligently cropped with a safe margin of error! :-p
ReplyDeleteI thought you were at a 70 pound loss, so how is it 68.9 total loss now. Are you considering the post before you left 'unofficial'?
ReplyDeletePerhaps I'm just being confused.... A congratulations is in order regardless! It's amazing to avoid a gain while on vacation and it sounds like you did some pretty amazing things! Wow, I'm envious but very happy for you because you deserve it after passing exams and how hard you've been working on the weight loss.
ReplyDeleteHey! No you're not confused - the day I posted my progress pictures I had made it down to 227.1, which I posted up so people knew the weight difference that my before-and-after pictures showed. But that was on a Friday, and my official weigh-in day is Monday, so I couldn't count it as a 'proper' weigh-in (as last Monday, I was on a train from Vienna to Ljubljana, woo hoo!).
ReplyDeleteI think if I could break down the two weeks, I probably lost just over 2lbs the week before going away, and then gained maybe half a pound on the holiday. Can't say for sure though, as there were no scales at my hotel. Still, after expecting a massive gain, quite happy to take the 1.3 over the two-week period!
Yes, it really worked out well and you ended up with a loss - so who could possibly complain about that? Thanks for clearing that up, I thought I'd lost my mind. It does happen on Monday afternoons at the office sometimes.... ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat results after a holiday, congratulations!!!
ReplyDeletethe less fat you have in your body, the harder is to lose it, bro.
ReplyDeleteSo, you're in London? Riots = yikes. Hope all is well. Take care...
