Eighth and Ninth Weigh-Ins - very belatedly!

Hello everyone. I'm sorry that it's been so long since I last updated this blog - I can't believe that the last time I burbled on here was at the election - it feels like a lifetime ago! I must admit that cynical old me never really believed that 'The Dave and Nick Show' would last even this long! That said I also tipped England to beat Algeria 2-0 'even if we played badly'. With that level of punditry, perhaps I'd better tip Slovenia to win 5-0 on Wednesday...
Anyway, at my next-to-last weigh-in on the 28th May I had a bad, but predictable, result, losing only 0.2kg from my previous visit. It was exactly what I deserved to be honest - I'd been feeling low at the time and slipped back into my old habit of comfort-eating a few times too many. It could have been a lot worse.
The good news is that it was something of a wake-up call for me, and while I didn't turn things around immediately, I was certainly much better behaved over the next couple of weeks; managing to avoid my worst excesses. When I next got weighed, on Friday 11th June, I was down by quite a bit more, losing 1.6kg or about 3.5lb. So that left me at that last weigh-in at 188.4kg, or 29st 9lb. A long way still to go, but battle has been rejoined!
A few people have asked me what exactly my target weight is. Officially the ideal weight for my height is around 12 stone - 20 stone down from where I started. I've basically lost around 3 stone in 4 months - another 17 stones at this rate seems a little bit hard to imagine - but we'll keep going and see how we do. Realistically, I've broken the 30 stone barrier - I've simply got to keep going and get beneath 20 stone and into the teens - and then see where we're at...
