Week 5 - Week 5 Meeting

A much better week this week. I knew I was doing better with my water, and I could see the scales at home moving, but I was surprised - I don't trust the scales at home to be completely accurate - to discover that I'd lost 8lbs this week. That means that in five weeks, I've lost just three pounds under three stone in weight.

I've included a new line - in green - that tracks an estimate of my actual weight, since I'm getting weighed wearing jeans with man-crap in the pockets, pants, t-shirt, socks and trainers every week. I estimate they weigh about 6lbs, so I'm only just above 16 Stone now, which is good news. It's been a few years since that was the case!

It's immediately obvious that I've lost weight; my face has changed shape, and my cheekbones are positively angular, and there's clearly less tummy and moobs. People are starting to comment about it now. I'm not particularly keen on talking about it beyond acknowleging that, yes, I have lost weight, but it's all been compliamentary.


Unfortunately, I don't know whether my blood pressure issue has improved or worsened. There's a chap who comes to our group who is a retired nurse, and thus qualified to take BP. He wasn't there this week.
