Two months in

Hello again peoples.

Today's update is a bit of a milestone.  By way of a fortunate accident, I discovered that today is exactly two months since my membership at the gym began.  According to their records, I started attending on 18/02/11.  So two months, or 8 1/2 weeks of attending the ym 4 days a week.

And my progress to date?  Well, Saturday and today came in at the same figure (somehow): 122.4kg!

This is a bizarre feeling for me.  Actually getting steady loss is awesome.  The down side is that all my clothes are starting to look like parachutes on me, and I haven't had a chance to go clothes shopping yet.  I've decided that I'm going to raid the op-shops (by raid I mean shop at, not steal from).  That way if I end up dropping another size or two I haven't spent a fortune on clothes that are now too big.

To give you an idea of the scale of the amount of weight I've lost, when I left Townsville I had only one belt.  I'm not sure what size it was exactly, but it would have been around the 130cm mark I reckon.  I was consistently using the second last to last hole (in inner-most two holes) when dressing.  That belt is now so large on me that I can remove it without undoing it... on the inner-most hole!  I have had to buy a new belt, which when I got it I used the outermost hole.  Now I am using the third hole consistently.  Assuming that each hole is around 1inch from the nearest, that means I have lost no less that 5 inches (12.5cm) or so from my waistline.  In two months!  That makes me very happy.

But I don't intend to stop here/  I still have a long way to go before I get clost to my target.  So happy hunting until then folks.

(PS: total loss since my "official" starting weight is 11.6kg)
