LiveJournal sent me an email, out of the blue, telling me they'd migrated my photos to a new service and the process was now complete. To be honest, I'd forgotten I ever put much up on LiveJournal, I created the account mostly to be able to read other people's stuff. So, I logged in and had a look at what was there. And found this:-
My original weight loss progress chart from when I started on May 8th 2006. It shows that I recall incorrectly that my start weight was 94kg; it was "only" 92kg then. And it stops short of where I got to (another 5kg off over the next couple of months). But still. It shows the incredible progress and mercifully few, mercifully short spikes and plateaus. I had an "easier" time than many. But there were reasons for that. I wish I knew what I'd done with the spreadsheet for this. I'd import the rest of the data from WLR and complete the chart to date. I think I cleaned it out a long time ago though.
Is the data still on the weight-loss website? You should be able to scroll back to when you first started using it.
ReplyDeleteHave to say I'm a huge fan of my similar graph - it's got a few sections where I only have data points once every few months, but has weekly data over large chunks of the rest - and dates back to December 2001!
ReplyDelete@hesadevil: no, I'm missing the spreadsheet and the first month's data as I wasn't using WLR for the first month.
ReplyDelete@Eleanor: nice to look back on and remind yourself of your success sometimes :o)
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to reconstruct the spreadsheet from the graph?
ReplyDeleteKate...I couldn't post this your husband's last post because I don't have the needed profiles so could you pass on pls?
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting post about the change in your diet, basically you are eating like Atkins - reducing carbs and eating mostly high fat and high protein? I do understand the theory of getting ones body to burn fat as fuel but I assumed that you would still rely on carbs as your main source and train your body to use fat when the primary source of carbs was depleted. I'm not sure that this is the right way to do it as sending the body into ketosis (although a remarkable experiment)is usually detrimental to ones mental and physical state when carbs are reintroduced, or so I thought? I look forward to your future posts as personally I reckon you'll still need quite a few carbs with perhaps some fasted workouts, in the morning maybe to kick start the fat burning? I can remember some US friends eating high protein and fat years ago and I read quite a bit about it and decided myself to try it. I felt very satiated and my digestion + constitution was much improved. My skin was glowing, my teeth sparkly 24/7 but the downsides were bad breath, low energy and often I just felt glum which is not like me. My experiment proved to me that low fat is not the answer though. Good luck, we will be reading and following with interest.
