Milestones and other remarks

31st May 2007: The Weight Loss Challenge with Harri ended today. I reached my goal — almost, being 0.3 kilos heavier than expected. Anyway, I’m quite happy with this 13.4% loss of body weight since the New Year! Now all I’ve to do is to try to stay in this weight! :) Thanks to everyone for support!

1st Apr 2007: Today I passed the 90kg limit! I can’t even remember when was the last time I weighed below 90… Probably during the military service though. And this is no April fools. :)

1st Jan 2007: Omigod, steep rise in the graph, what happened?! Well actually, Christmas happened, and all the over-eating that comes with it. Anyway, this date marks the beginning of the Grand Diet Challenge between me and Harri. We are currently approximately in the same figures and both aim at 85 kg at the end of May 2007. That means we both should achieve average weekly weight reduction of 0.7 kilos, which should barely be within reason.

24th Oct 2006: I’ve been sick with the flu for a few days, which pretty much has caused the recent “progress.” Overall the project has been slipping. Maybe I should pick up some sport or something after I recover from this damned condition…

8th Sep 2006: I added the trend graph, which shows weight loss progress more realistically, so that daily variations don’t count as much. It’s drawn in lighter blue.

31st Aug 2006: Did not take daily meds any more. Next day the numbers on the scale took a plunge, hitting 95.0kg for the first time during this project!

29th Aug 2006: Refined target – down to 80kg by my next name day in Finnish calendar, 30th of May 2007. Obviously this is totally arbitrary date, but let’s stick with it. :)

22nd Aug 2006: I started taking some medication which might cause swelling et cetera as side effects, and the result was imminent – the very next day the scale hit full two kilos higher than day before. The subsequent ups and downs are probably related. As of now (29th Aug) I’m still taking those pills, so knowing my real weight is merely guessing…

18th Jul 2006: I wrote the first version of the graph plugin and started this project, weighing 98 kilograms.

Feel free to comment! Especially if my progress doesn’t look too good, some creative insults might help…
