Weighed in at 15st 5 yesterday afternoon. That's better than I expected, given that the diet didn't exactly go to plan last week. My target was 2500 per day but, while I came in under on some days, I was significantly over on others...and my average was almost 2700. Still, I have lost weight at 2700 before. All the same, I need to try to be stricter this week.

Into Week 3 of the diet, and I'm 15st 6. I reckon that's not too bad, considering.
I'm following exactly the same template as last year, so my calorie allowance last week was 2750 - which I met quite comfortably - and this week it's down to 2500.
If things go like they did last year, I'm looking to drop a pound by this time next week. Let's see what happens.

2nd January. Time to start again.
Not certain what my weight is at the moment - I'm avoiding checking it...could be too depressing! I'm starting to gear up towards a diet again. This week my target is 3000 calories daily. Next week it will be 2700 and the week after 2500. That mirrors what I did last year.
Targets for this year are less ambitious than last year. Last year I basically lost 11 pounds (before the Christmas binge put a few back on). If I can lose 11 pounds again this year...and another 11 the year after...I'll take that. It's very slow progress but progress is progress. The ultimate goal is still 12 and a half to thirteen stone, but if it takes several years to get there, I'm not in a rush. Just so long as I get closer to that target year on year.
Assuming I'm about 15st 7 or so now, that means my target weight is 14st 10 by the beginning of December. That certainly should be do-able.
As for exercise, I'm going back to the 3 days cardio, 3 days weights per week model. I have a programme worked out with the aim of becoming a little bit fit, or at least not utterly unfit, by summer. I'll loosely define that as the ability to walk a few miles per day at a leisurely to moderate pace without being utterly knackered. Hardly an athletic goal but one that meets my minimum requirements.
So beginneth 2018.
