Sloooow Progress..........

I continue to lose weight each week, but its happening very slowly despite the strict control I now have on my diet, and the amount of exercise I'm taking. Currenly cycling about 90 miles a week, and consuming about 2500 calories per day leaving a calorie deficit that WILL ensure I lose weight. I expected it to drop off a little faster at the start, I normally can rely on 6 or 7 pounds in the first week, but not this time, more like 2 pounds. Nothing wrong with that of course, its going in the right direction.

Thats been the theme over the last few weeks, small amounts of weight loss, but I've got a lot to lose and this could take a while. Maybe this is the difference between running and cyclings, the higher impact of carrying your own body weight means you burn more calories then cycling and hence the greater weight loss. Once I get to a reasonable weight I'll start running a little again as well I think.

Anyway, its going in the right direction, and if I keep doing what I'm doing it can't go any other direction except down.
