Hope everyone is well, just thought a quick update on my progress
todate, a couple of things to note
- commencing weight - 121.6 Kilos or 267 lbs
- weight measured after urination daily
- total time on program - 59 days (1/4 - 28/6)
- commencing waist size 42inches
- blood pressure measured daily at 8.30pm - figured it would be at
worst after a day of stress. starting blood pressure 141/80

that out of the way,

todays weight 28/06/07: 108.4 kilos or 238.4 lbs - 13.2 kilos
waist size 39 inches
blood pressure: 128/75

so I would say it has been successful

Lessons learnt:
1. I travel alot with work, ie HK - america, HK to London etc this
makes it very hard, but not impossible, and it is worth working out
the time changes and trying to get a schedule going asap.
2. Exercise is key, at some point - whilst i lost alot of weight i
also lost muscle mass - 3 kilos, although this has come back
incredibly quickly once i have started to work out again - this means
there is no escaping a 40 minute walk or some form of exercise and
the additional benefits seem to keep piling on once one is into the
phase were it is suggested.

so far a huge thanks to Pema and Rich

the biggest problem i am now having is mental, ie not expecting the
weight to come back - i have just thrown out my size 42 pants
(yippee) no option now if the weight comes back i have no clothes.

good luck to all, if anyone wants to see the chart i keep (pedantic
me) let me know happy to share, it does show the effect of forgetting
for 3 days - ie 2+ kilo gain very quickly.

Would love to hear how others are doing, and hang in there

all the best

Greg
