Weight results for 2007

Excel weight spreadsheet for 2007

You can see that I have dropped 11 kilos this year (that's the same as 1¾ stones or 24 pounds), so I'm giving myself a pat on the back for making my diet stick and avoiding any "yoyo" dieting. The loss in weight has also meant losing 7 inches off my waist so none of my old clothes fit anymore!

I feel much better for losing the weight, here are the changes I've noticed:

• I tend to be less grumpy
• I feel 10 years younger and sexier
• I can buy clothes off the peg (I'm a 34 inch waist now)
• I don't wake up in the morning with a painful hip joint
• I can sleep lying face down
• I can shamelessly go topless on holiday

I guess my vanity wasn't a good enough motive to lose weight before becoming diabetic but it's a nice side-effect of having to get healthier.
