Hi everyone! Thanks for all your support after last weeks blog. I think I made it over that wall I hit and today I feel really good!
After last week I think I managed to look at myself a bit differently - and this change in lifestyle is becoming a permanent feature in my life.
I haven't been to the gym since last Wednesday... I felt I just needed to have a break from it. However on Monday I enjoyed a good kick around with the guys i play with at 5-a-side football - and for the first time I could notice a difference in my fitness - and could run alongside some of the younger lads!
Then Tuesday I started playing badminton with Toby - as a part of him giving me a bit of a fun, competitive run around (instead of being in the gym) and also to give us a bit of team bonding time together for an hour, before we go off and do a serious meeting. I know he reads this, so thanks for your support Toby. I know he would also not like me to tell you how the 1 hour match turned out. But being the humble and not proud in anyway, shape or form Christian that I am...... I won 4-0 (first time I have played in 8 years!) - there is life in the old dog yet! LOL - well I'm sure you'll get some revenge when you start playing Toby and I know, you let me win! ;-)
Today of course, is weigh in day. I was back to the 5.30pm group which is much bigger - many more claps from the performing seals (couple of fish tossed my way this week). I hope that none of them read this or I may get chucked out LOL!
And so to the scales.... well I lost 3 lbs this week! Very happy. I also won slimmer of the week and picked up 24 pieces of fruit in the process including 2 pears, 3 oranges, 2 miniolas, 3 satsumas, 2 kiwis (my offering), a pink grapefruit, a nectarine, 2 bananas and 8 apples.
I also, as in the picture above, picked up slimmer of the month again (hence the title of repeat champ - August and September now)..... (can feel a new title of most unpopular slimming world member being awarded soon! LOL)
So here is some stats.....
Firstly, heres my progress chart from the start of 21 stone 3 lbs in August to now!
The red line is my weight loss, the blue line is predicted (a prediction of 2 weeks time until Club 10, which is 10% of my body weight lost - which is the green line).
Some other stats......
- In 7 weeks I have lost 24 lbs
- I now weigh 19 stone 7 lbs.
- In the past month I have lost 15lbs (which was why I won slimmer of the month)
- On average at the moment I am losing 3 1/2 lbs a week
- My body mass index has gone from 42.5 to 39.1
- I am now just 4lbs away from the 2nd stone loss and....
- just 18 lbs from my first target of 3 stone.
I have 4 weigh in's left of my NHS referral at slimming world before I have to decide whether I will stay and pay weekly. I would like to stay, but need to check the pennies really as at £5 a week it is quite expensive... but I do enjoy the proper weigh in! So we shall see!
Well thats all for this week - except to say (as I haven't put the links in the past couple of weeks), I'd love to have a few more sponsors if you haven't already given. I'm nearly at £1500 including gift aid, which will help the Bridge so much.

God bless. Thanks for all your words, support and prayers.
