Alright...I'm in.

I hate to admit it but I have really ballooned since last June. I went to Thailand at 85kg, came back at 90 and have continued to put on weight since. I just jumped on the scales and weighed in at an unhealthy 97kg!!!

I've got to get my Mojo back after 9 months of excessive drinking and ice cream consumption. The goal is to be back to 85kg by June.

Hey Steve.

Is there anyway that you can create a little spreadsheet that we can plot our weekly weights into? This could then be made into a graph so we can watch each others progress as an added motivation.

You might be able to sell some advertising space to a liposuction clinic to offset the costs...LOL.

Hehe... sure, if people report their weekly weights in this thread (and the weekly loss/gain), I can plot them on a spreadsheet and display it every week? As the quiz demonstrates, there's nothing like a bit of friendly competition to spur each other on

OK, I will kick it off! As of Monday I estimate I am about 90 kg (about 14 stone). At 6' 2", this puts my BMI at the top end of "normal", teetering on the "overweight" range. I want to get it back to the lower end of "normal". This means losing about 15kg

A Body Mass Index calculator is here for you to use: Calculate your BMI - Metric BMI Calculator

I will struggle with weighing myself weekly as I am in rural Japan and I doubt I'll ever find any scales, but everyone else - report your weights here and let's get started... from Monday!

If you want your weight plotted on the progress chart to share with us how you're doing in your dieting, be sure to post in here and give us an update!

Let's start with intitial weights as of Monday 29 March. I'll go first: I reckon I am about 14 stone... BMI of just over 25.

Any more for any more?

Ok weight this morning 79 kilos

I weighed in at 98.2 this morning after a fairly hedonistic weekend.

It's my day off tomorrow and have a big session at the gym planned.

Short term goal is 95kg by april 12th.

still too fat

have lost 1 1/2 stone or 10kg if you like

BUT am still 18st or 115.3 kg

so a minor victory

I started my weight loss on August 20th. this year after my own and a close freinds birthday party. Inspiered by watching the "Biggest Looser" for a year I decided to get serious and make the commitment. Stoped drinking daily, cut down on my food intake & changed what I ate & daily exercise program. My wife even paid the tab to give me a personal trainer for 10 weeks.

Results are as of August 20 /10 I have gone from 97 kilos down too 71 today. I no longer take the 6 pills a day for my extreamly high blood preasure and now I am the same as my trainer. My colesteral count is dead on with both the good & bad types & continued use of daily coconut oil is still helping with improvment.

Wearing jeans my wife boxed up 10 years ago and gone from xxl shirts down to betweem med/large sizes. I no longer use my ventilator and now do a minimum 5 kilometers a day & 10 when I have more time.

Feel fantastic and the journey is still not finished ! I am in touch with Gary Holden, local Phuket "Biggest Looser" contestant from the first Asia show.
He has just finished the Laguna Triathalon just one month after doing an Ironman.

I am planning & training myself for the Laguna Triathalon next year.
Feel free to get in touch with any questions you may have and regards from Phuket.
