Into the last week of the second six-week phase. Weight on Monday morning was 15st 5, so slightly ahead of target for this phase, and ten pounds lost since the beginning - almost a quarter of my original target of 42 pounds. Strength seems unaffected in most lifts, and in terms of the bench press, I'm making progress back to my starting point - currently lifting 56.5 x 6, which gives a theoretical 1RM of 66kg, but I'm steadily working towards 58 x 7, which would give me a theoretical 1RM of 70kg - right back where I started, but hopefully at a stone lighter in body weight by the time I reach that point.  

Where I am falling down is on the fitness side. I haven't made much progress there. I am steadily increasing the trampoline work, though, and the hamstring seems to be handling it. Right now I'm doing four 30sec trampolining stints as part of my 20 min cardio session, but I'm increasing that by one stint per week, so by the end of Phase 3 I should be doing ten stints per cardio session. Then in Phase 4 I'll increase the length of the stints gradually, so that by Week 24 I should be doing sets consisting of three mins of trampolining, one min of rest, 5x in a 20 min period, plus an extra ten mins of light aerobics after that. Even that will still be a relatively modest workout, but one I couldn't have hoped to have attempted on January 1.

So, I do have a plan on the fitness side, while on the weight loss and strength sides, everything is pretty much going to plan at the moment. Very slow progress, but definite progress - especially on the weight loss front, where I'm almost a quarter of the way towards my goal
