Today (or yesterday technically) was the one month mark on this spell of weight loss. I have lost 4.6kg (10.1lbs) so far.
I have to admit that I’ve found it pretty easy going, perhaps that is a sign that I’m not trying hard enough and I could lose more weight faster if I tried. I dunno, but apparently the rate I’m going at is a good rate. So says my sister, and she should know (being an actual dietitian and all).
I have resurrected the old spreadsheet doodad and the progress graph is just above (linking to the spreadsheet if you’re interested). I seem to remember that last time I tried this, keeping track worked well as a motivational tool – doing well? keep going! doing badly? kick up the arse!



You are doing great. However, your chart is not working
Dratted Excel that is. When I update on my mac it saves the image as a png, from windows it saves it as a gif. Wonderfully consistent!
I have updated the post and will strive to only update the spreadsheet from windows from now on.
Wow I have just signed up, what goodies do we get???? Where’s the smiley faces Matthew????? Never mind!!!
Hey keep up the good work, im keeping a eye on you from my desk so no naughty food.
just put the ascii smiley face in and it automagically gets changed!
It all works properly now
Weirdly I didn’t particularly change anything. It’s back to using PNG images (I worked out a script to check for updates to the GIF and convert it, and generate thumbnails at the same time).
It always worked for me mind, so perhaps you just had a caching issue.
