Weight Loss Tracker – Week 3

Monday, January 26th, 2009

So, it’s the end of week 3 and below is my weight loss tracker.

This last week I made a conscious decision to slow down the weight loss a little bit.  Although it’s good to be losing a load of weight I don’t want to lose it too quickly.  Whenever I do any reading around people always say if you lose it too quickly you’ll just end up putting it back on.  Having said that…that 109kg goal is looming.  If I manage to hit 109kg by the end of the week then I’ll be a month ahead of schedule but more importantly I’ll be the lightest I’ve been for over 10 years!  I’m in quite a hurry to get there.

Also, while we are on the subject of weight-loss trackers it reminds me of another “R” in those SMARTER goals, RECORDING.  A lot of people recommend that you record your goals and track your progress against them.  I tend to do it without thinking and I find it a great help, especially when it’s quite visual like my graph below.  Last time I tried to lose weight I used a little ticker from The Ticker Factory.  It was a little snail that crawled along the ground as I lost weight.  Unfortunately it remained relatively static for me at the time!
