Weightloss Challenge II
May 30^th, 2024 at 1:00pm

Years ago, I wrote a post about how I was going to restart a weight loss goal of getting down to 85kg as my ideal weight. I had a few hecklers go around give me hell for not being serious. But, I am very serious now.

I am at 107kg. I aim to lose 10kg in the next month, given that I have a lot of reason to be at a healthier weight range. A photograph of me last night had me motivated to restart the weight loss attempt. I want to be 20kg lighter in 3 months. And 10 of those kilos I should be able to lose in a month.

You are deluding yourself.

Actually, 10 years ago, I was 130kg. I dropped down 35kg in 7 months. Then I maintained that weight until the next year. I cannot find the topic I started, either through lack of looking or because the topic is deleted.

I am up 12kg since October, 2015. I am down 5kg since January this year.

Down 3kg if I was not wearing my shoes and heavy clothing when I weighed myself. I don't look much skinnier than I did a month ago. But I do feel stronger. Someone was right. Even if I did lose a lot of weight, I have plenty of excess skin to contend.

That could be cancer devouring you from the inside.

Weight loss is a typical symptom of cancer.

The 9 News tonight did an article about bowel cancer among young men. My grandfather died of bowel cancer at 67 years of age. I will certainly give your response the respect it deserves.

I have only been to a fast food restaurant once in the last 4 weeks. It was an emergency feed after work, as I only had 2 bananas and a big glass of water before I went to work for the night. Other than the ice tea I was drinking during my shift, I was doing okay for the night. But I could not wait to get home and prepare something to eat.

I have gone for a walk every night with my weighted backpack (36kg). Last night, there was a blackout, so I stayed home and read by candle light -- bad for the eyes. I will go for a walk tonight to try and make sure I look good for the camera tomorrow afternoon/night.

The weight is coming off. Probably 20kg to go before December. My doctor told me to try and bring my cholesterol levels down, and my glucose levels to be under 7. Blood test to be done before Christmas.

I got on the scales just before. The scales read 100kg. However, when I took the weight measure in May, it said 107kg whilst I was wearing just my underwear. Today, I weighed myself fully clothed. That means that I have broken the 100kg psychological barrier. I have lost 8kg in the last 9 weeks. So, that is a safe level of weight loss.
