2004 weighin

Well, the spirit of Christmas seems to weigh about 8lbs :) (It seems to be a pretty reasonable statistic that that's what I gain when I stop eating low carb).

So.

Diet starts again today, along with exercise regime (10 mins on the Orbittrek plus 70 ab crunches - 3 x 10 normal, 2 x 10 reverse, 1 x 10 each side oblique)).

Height 6'3"
Start weight 16st3lbs (227lbs/103kg)
Body fat index (according to the scales) 24
Waist 36" (91cm)
Target weight: 13st7lbs (189lbs/86kg)

I may revise that when I get a bit closer, and I may deliberately overshoot by a few pounds to allow for the weight gain when I stop eating low carb all the time.

I have a 'before' picture saved up (from Aug 2002, weighing 20st9lbs (289lbs/131kg)), but you don't get to see it till I hit target and have an 'after' picture to compare.

So. Anyone else joining me?

A pleasant surprise

I check my PayPal account, to transfer the funds from the sale of some guitar kit....

And lo! there's 98 quid in there I forgot about!
