Week 2 Weigh-In
I lost one poud this week. Previously I might have got cross about this "Only one pound!" But I've decided one pound is great. I stopped dieting last June, partly because I was frustrated by my slow progress. But if I had stuck with it and continued that slow progress, by now I would be a very nice weight indeed. So one poud is fine. One pound is great. And I'mm keeping going with week three of the graprefruit diet.

I took my measurements.
Waist: 40"
Hips: 45.5"
Bust: 41"
I hope I'll see these come down over the next few weeks

Week One Weigh-In
I lost 3 pounds in the first week on Grapefruit diet. I've decided to stick with it another week, since I'm enjoying the food (it's not just grapefruit, it's also a lot of meat and plenty of salad and veggies, no carbs though).
I've achieved a goal, I'm now under 14 stone. My next goal is to lose a stone from my start weight, only 11 pounds to go.
I went for a one mile run this morning and I feel really good. I'm going to try to run every day.
Feeling good today!

Back Again
I haven't updated this blog in about six months. As you can imagine, I was not sticking to a diet in that time and I gained back the weight I had lost, and gained a further ten pounds. I now weigh 198lbs, which is the heaviest I've ever been in my life.
It's OK, though. I'm ready to start again. I began the Grapefruit diet this morning and I'm hpoing to kick-start my diet with a big weight loss before going on to a longer-term diet. I'll also be adding some regular exercise.

My Virtual Model
Rose asked me to do another Virtual Model, but I found that unlike a real body, it doesn't change shape gradually with each pound lost. It stays the same and then suddenly jumps at certain thresholds. So although I have lost several inches and dropped a clothes size, my model looks the same. It'll change when I've lost another 8lbs.

Wednesday Weigh-In
I lost 2lbs on the Grapefruit diet. I'm glad to be losing weight again but I had thought that on crash diets like Grapefruit Diet you were supposed to lose much more than that in a week. I thought 1-2lbs a week was a moderate rate of weight-loss on normal long-term diets, more like Diet Delish which I have started again this week.
It's just so frustratingly slow.
However I am changing shape, which is pleasing. My UK size 16 jeans were far too baggy on me, so I bought two pairs of size 14 jeans from Marks and Spencer. M&S sizes are generous, and I probably wouldn't be able to fit a size 14 from most other shops, but I'm counting it as a goal reached anyway. I've dropped a clothes size. Hurrah!
