87.4. Direction right , but need to get that walking going again after I emptied the storage, final half of it by car.

86.7, wow! For the first time it feels the end goal is there somewhere. The great question is how frequently I will check the weight when at 80. As weight gain really looks to be a problem maybe just standing on that scale after waking up is possible?

86.5. Nice to lose some three days in a row.

61, retired early. Planned for it three years beforehand. Feel it was the right decision.

86.4, finally! Have stepped up a notch, even played with the thought of trying to cut 2kg a week, probably not gonna happen, so in for that 1kg/week. As this is the (long) spurt down to 80, I put in what my body and mind reasonably can take.

85.9. About where I were in may when starting to gain on average one kg a month until december. Wonder how that gain was distributed between months, will remain guesswork. Probably like 0.5-1.5.

85.5. Definitely showing in the belly profile now. I don't snap see I'm overweight, takes a few seconds to notice some more is needed. Five kilograms to go, will not necessarily be the easiest ones. Body fights back, but as long as the snacks are carrots, well...

Took some time, but finally, 85.1. As usual a few things may explain it took three weeks, but of course the most important, as always, is eating "too much". Interesting to follow how tough the final 5 will feel. 0.5kg/week looks to be the general pace this time, then you even can eat some.

84.7. Yeah, this is how the body works, sometimes loses a bit more at a time.

84.5. Using a different scale, but it's electronic and of the same brand, so should be ok.

Thanks, good luck to you too! Good pace I think is around 0.5kg a week, feels more comfortable and probably more sustainable than my earlier 1kg/week.

84.3. Have been moving a bit more, always helps. Now not very far from that eluding twice 80.0 or below.

Started to get oscillating and values a bit too good to be true, moved the scale away from the rug, and got 85.0. Let's see if I can drop five kilograms during summer.

Have wandered higher, even close to 86, but down to 84.2 yet again. As said, usually the second one is more reliable, so why not the third. Not gaining weight is of course the most important, a new low now and then takes care of that the best.

Fluke all right, 84.2 for the fourth time. They seem to run a bit closer now.

Think I need to post at least once a month. Have stabilized around 85 kilograms, may lack real motivation to take it lower. So let's see. Weighing myself almost daily.

Somehow I'm in the mood to take the attempt on 80kg, feels even nice to eat less for now. Only possible lows will tell if the feeling transforms to action.

After a week's trip without a scale I found my weight to be 86.5. After that a quite ideal series of 86.3, 86.0 and 85.9. Shows even keeping weight is almost as losing weight.

Found a culprit. Doing some physical work and had treated myself each day with half a small candy bag "for glucose". But the old truth you'd better avoid bigger calorie density holds, weight wandering up. So I cut out those 400 extra calories, felt a bit tired the first day, fixed it with a nap. And the weight thanks, 86.0 again.

Kind of starting over, but from an overall lower level, will tell new record lows.

85.4. Add 1/2-1 kilograms to get the mean. Thinking about loosening up my goal for now, have got some beating from this. Maybe below 85kg every single time? Then my mean would be somewhere between 83 and 84. BMI 23-24, with some middle body. Ok, going below 85 even once for a starter.
