Week 17 Weigh In.

Yippee, check me out... 1.5 kg loss in comparison to last week ;o) Am now 83.5kg (184.1 lbs or 13.2 Stone). Currently am averaging 1.02kg loss per week that is over the past 17 weeks. Am literally shrinking and it feels great, plus it's up lifting and even more motivating because I'm actually getting closer to achieving my goal. 7.5kg left to lose, which at this rate could predict a further 7.5 weeks to go, but don't let me get ahead of myself here. A lot can happen in this time...

I've also started to implement an 8 minute abs workout on a daily basis to work on shaping a 6 pack ;o) Now that all university sporting activities have stopped (Except for Volleyball on Wednesdays), I've also taken up more walking exercise too. When the weather is good, I tend to walk 2 hours or so, I have this really nice scenic route I enjoy pacing around whilst listening to the radio.

Oh that’s another thing.... I need to start thinking about moving to stage 3 of the Atkins plan, the "Pre-Maintenance Phase". So I might have to make a small trade off soon; change my diet by adding more carbs for a slower weight loss rate.

For those of you who want to know more about this stage go here: Pre-Maintenance Stage.

Ok that’s it for now, but before I go some last minute info how uni life is going, I passed all my modules except one (So only one resit to do, but luckily this is in the form of an assignment so phew). Have also found and started a valid project/dissertation (which is keeping me very busy at the moment) but the bonus here is, I will be getting paid £230 per week to do it, yeeha!

K take care all you low carbers, and good luck with your weight loss results this week, I am keeping my eye on you… especially you Roy and Scotty ;o)

Remember the story, the tortoise and the hair... well thats irrelevant to this scenario, but the main thing is we are both losing... Keep going roy you seem to have court on to the rythem. I think besides eating low carb my success comes from doing lots of walking + by taking a good multivitamin (no iron) and extra suppliments of Vit E (200mg) and Vit C (1000mg). Perhaps try the extra vitamins technique, you might be amazed not only by how you feel but the helping hand they give to immoblise fat ;o)
