Fat Boy - Round 2

Back in 2024 I went through the process of losing weight, and was fairly successful. I went from ~111kg (244lbs) to ~103kg (226lbs). My target was 100kg (220lbs), so I got very close.

But then, in August 2024, I was promoted in work, ended up working way more hours, and my health suffered. I ended up burned out and ultimately I stepped down a few months ago. Which was honestly the right thing to do.

Anyway, for the year or so that I was in that role, my weight slowly crept back up and as of this morning, I'm back at 110.6kg (243lbs). So as of today I'm back on the wagon and trying hard to eradicate my chubbiness.

I found last time that writing about it really helped to motivate me, not to mention hold me to account. It's easy to eat that chocolate bar if no-one knows I'm going to gain an extra half kilo, but if I'm writing about it publicly, I'm less likely to do so. I dunno, my brain is weird. Anyway, expect monthly updates, just like before.

So we start again today and my hope is that I'll be down to my target weight by my birthday, which is in late August.

Wish me luck!
