Well here we are with the week 6 update - though please read the post below to understand that this isn’t strictly one week’s improvement. It’s about 6 weeks of half-heartedly following the plan so feel free to draw your own conclusions.

Please remember I haven’t been out jogging - I have just been consistently eating healthily and have been doing some weights from time to time (but not as regularly as previously).

Please ensure you do read the post below so you understand what has been going on.

Anyway, results time.

And I’ve got to say, the results have been nothing short of amazing and helps to show just how much a healthy diet and some moderate exercise can do for you.

The table below says it all. No real muscle growth to speak of but an amazing 5.3kg lost in that space of time and 2″ of fat lost off my stomach! Wow!

I knew the results would be pretty good - I just didn’t know how good.

You see, everyone keeps commenting how much weight I’m losing - and it’s getting to such a level now that none of my clothes fit me.

Trousers which were once on the tight side I can now barely keep up! They hang on my hip bones and if I forget and go out without a belt on (as I would before the challenge) I have to keep my hands in my pockets or my trousers start to slowly inch their way towards the ground. Quite shocking for everyone involved

So since starting the challenge a few months ago I’ve now lost just under 10kg (1.5 stone) and 5.5″ off my stomach! That’s amazing!

Infact, people are starting to worry that I’m losing “too much weight” and that I shouldn’t lose any more.

The fact is, I still need to bulk up those puny arms, yes, but I need to lose a bit more fat so the old stomach muscles show through. They’re feeling firmer every day but *still* aren’t quite visible. So more progress needed, but great results so far.

I’m a happy camper

OK the table of results contrasting figures this week with the last update I did…

It’s time to play “spot the difference” again folks…
