Since the Summer of 2014, I have been making an effort to lose weight. I was incredibly unwell over early 2022, and my GP advised me to remove bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and cheese from my diet. Tricky, but something I’ve managed to stick to the majority of the time since January 2022.
We have always eaten relatively healthily, Mrs Pitts usually cooks meals from scratch, but even so, we have looked again at this too.
What you see below are charts showing my progress so far from when I began weighing myself until the last time I updated the data! I have been very good at weighing myself every Saturday morning, and I try to do it at a similar time each week to make the measurement relevant (the mathematician/scientific part of me is loving this).
To explain the additional lines, each of those represents losing 10% of my initial weight (at 108.36kg and 96.32kg respectively).
The rises tended to coincide with school holidays. It was so much easier to stick to the plan at work! Now that I mostly work from home, it is easier to get out there and have longer walks… but also easier to snack more…
