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.

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.

If you worry about overweight and glucose levels ask your doctor for prescription of metformin.

So far, in the last month, I have only had one meal from KFC and one meal from Red Rooster. On both occasions, I managed to later burn off the fat consumption via my resistance training walks.

My main problem has been my drinking. In the last 3 months, I have gone from drinking once or twice a week to once or twice a fortnight (usually once every fortnightly, after I do my grocery shopping). All things considered, I feel that I am doing pretty well and have gotten control of my glucose levels. I am starting to feel much strong than I have ever before.

I cut out alcohol about a month ago. Just a few beers here and there. But I am very much sober compared to the years July 2021 to May 2024.
