I thought the graph think was great. It helps you have a visual limit and rings a visual bell when you begin to bump the curve. I use my phone to track my weight. It is a Samsung and the health app is excellent.
I have drastically cut down on dairy and wheat. I am trying to cut down on chocolate, beer and crisps and of those 3, the crisps is the big one for me. I am not a big beer drinker (at most, a handful of bottles at the weekend) and chocolate is actually not too bad, its the chocolate based bars which are killers.
For exercise, i cycle to work. ( 10 miles per day) and this has had a huge effect. I am no Chad (google it) but i manage ok.
I have lost 2 stone since xmas. My resting heart rate has gone from mid 70's to high 50's.
I have hit a wall though. I am still overweight and would love to lose another stone but this seems to be a challenge. At the moment, i put on the weekend what i lose through the week lol.
I don't beat myself up for failing, its when i don't try that i knock myself and rightly so. I have a responsibility to myself and my family to help myself stay healthy.
Today i am 190lbs. My target is 175.
I think i will add my current weight as i go on to my sig. Nothing like a punch in the face every morning to keep you on your toes!
Onwards and upwards we (both) shall go
