As part of this exercise is to lose some (okay more than just some) weight, I thought I’d post details of my weekly weigh ins here.
For reference purposes, before I started running I weighed 13st 12lb.
On Wednesday 16th September 2009 I weighed 13st 9lb, a difference of 3lbs which I’m very happy with.
I don’t really know what weight I’m aiming for, if anything, but standard height to weight charts show that someone 6’1″ (which is my height) should be between 10st 9lb and 13st 7lb. I’m not a naturally lanky person and so I think a good weight would be about 12st 7lb.
So that’s 3lb down, 16lb to go!
To be honest, I don’t know if this is vain or not, but I’m more bothered about shape and looks than actual weight. With that in mind I’d like to see a big reduction in my stomach fat, moobs and the extra chin I seem to have been developing lately.
The last week has been good though and I’ve definitely noticed an improvement. I’m not too sure whether this is due to actual weight loss or the fact that my muscles are tighter from exercise as that changes the shape of your stomach area in particular. A few people have said that I look thinner around the face too so that’s always good.
My word, don’t I sound like a girl…
