Still 15st 4. All right, that's it. I'm giving up for this year. It's nearly Christmas and not the right time to be trying to lose weight.

So, my total weight loss for 2017 is: 11 pounds off.

Not great.

But....not a dead loss. At least I've got a bit of weight off, and kept it off. Could have been worse. I could have kept gaining instead of losing. If I'd carried on as I was doing last year, I no doubt would have been 17 stone plus by now.

 Come January, I need to start again with the same mindset as I did at the beginning of this year. And if I get another 11 pounds off in 2018...well, right now I'd take that.

Slow progress is better than no progress....even very slow progress is better than none.

I have made some progress this year. I'm determined to make some more next year. Modest progress will do.
