Nearly 50lbs lost...

Here's my progress so far, with a trend line:

As you can see, my weight is still going down, but the last month or so its been slow.

Last week was a huge mess - went to the gym on Monday, did my new full body workout routine, came home, ate, and started to feel bad. Several hours later I was rather ill with Gastroenteritis , and didn't sleep all night. The next 2 days I could barely eat - probably had 1200 cals in 2 days. 2 days off work, worked from home on Thursday and made it back in for Friday.

The weekend was spent camping in sub zero conditions in the Lake District - so food was not to plan and I had a few beers. On the flipside I was out walking on Saturday, covering 9.5 miles, ascending 3500ft and getting to the top of the 6th highest mountain in England. This little adventure took over 9 hours, including a mile and a half in the dark at the end. Roll on summer!

Anyway, having a relaxed week this week, ill be back in the gym on Wednesday and keeping cals around 2000 - 2200 until I feel fully better.

Last week I was late on Monday morning, my usual weigh in, and ill after that so I skipped weighing in last week. Weighed in this morning at 13 stone exactly - so with any luck I might drop even half a pound this week - and hit the 12 stone bracket :-).
