WEIGHT-LOSS CHALLENGE: END OF WEEK ELEVEN

Background

You can read all about the background to my weight-loss challenge from my previous blog however the short summary is that I'm trying to lose two stone in 13 weeks starting on 14th September and ending with the final weigh-in on 14th December. My starting weight on 14th September was 13 stone 12 pounds and progress so far is as follows:

- End of Week 1: 13 Stone 7.5 Pounds

- End of Week 2: 13 Stone 5.5 Pounds

- End of Week 3: 13 Stone 5 Pounds

- End of Week 4: 13 Stone 2.5 Pounds

- End of Week 5: 13 Stone 0.5 Pounds

- End of Week 6: 12 Stone 11.5 Pounds

- End of Week 7: No weigh-in (Half-term week with my kids)

- End of Week 8: 12 Stone 12 Pounds

- End of Week 9: 12 Stone 10 Pounds

- End of Week 10: 12 Stone 7.5 Pounds

This Week's Update (Week Eleven)

This week has once again been really busy with work so I haven't done as much exercise as I would've liked and it's also been my wife's birthday week so I haven't been as strict with the amount of calories consumed each day as per previous weeks. Not a good combination. Throughout the week I've done 30 minutes of weights on three occasions and have walked 10k.

This Week's Results (Week Eleven)

This week I weighed in at 12 stone 7 pounds meaning that I've lost a further half a pound this week. So that is now 1 stone and 5 pounds in total since I started (apologies again for the photo of my Fred Flinstone feet).

This means that I now have 9 pounds to lose in just the next two weeks, so an average weight-loss of 4.5 pounds per week is needed to hit my target. This is going to be a massively tough ask but for the remaining two weeks I'm going to give it everything I've got to lose as much as possible.

Donations for a Good Cause

In a shameless plug I'm also doing this to raise money for a good cause, Mental Health UK. If you'd like to offer a small donation all money will go directly to Mental Health UK and I would be eternally grateful. The link to my JustGiving page is below:
