Monday 6th September - Day 77 (Week 13)

On the scales this morning: 11 stone 8 and three quarter pounds. Delta from last week: 3 pounds. Total weight loss to date: 41 and half pounds.

Another interesting week weight loss wise. As my daily chart shows my weight was fairly static through to Saturday morning, and then dropped on Sunday and today. This seems to be the pattern at the minute. A couple of big drops a week, and very little movement the rest of the time. I haven't been able to correlate the drops with any cause, although the large drops from Sunday to Monday are probably down to exercise as I run 6.3 miles on a Sunday evening.

However, the point worth noting here is that I've been on the Dukan diet for 77 days, I've lost (almost) 3 stone, I've had no ill effects, the weight loss has been consistent and maintained; and, generally, the whole things has been very easy.

I have 19.75 lbs to lose to hit my target weight of 10 st 3 lb, and at a rate of 3 lb a week I should manage that in 7 weeks. However, my chart and experience shows peaks and troughs so it'll probably take a little longer. 7 weeks would take me to the 25th of October, and the goal was to hit my target weight by the 19th November. Plenty of give in the plan then! Which is just as well....

We're off on a short holiday next week which means foreign food, relaxed attitude, and many temptations. I intend to be well behaved but not too strict about food. There's no point doing these things if you don't have fun once in a while!

The break does mean that next week's post may be delayed or cancelled, internet connection and accurate scales depending.
