I actually find things like fluctuations kinda fascinating, but it still does bad things to my brain if the numbers go in the wrong direction!

I'm more looking at general trends than day to day fluctuations, and I know how easy it is for me to be numbers obsessed (already, I have a spreadsheet tracking this, and doing the calculations for me).

I'm getting a bit frustrated at almost-daily weighing, because it's so inconsistent... Apparently I gained over a kilo in two days! Curious, do you weigh yourself every day, or just once a week?

I enjoy reading the full story of people working towards goals. Keep it up, Andrew.

So's sitting on your ass instead of going to the gym. You know, I hope, that if you're ever looking for support from a fellow traveller, that you're welcome to email or gtalk (andrew@lifesans.com is best), or MSN (malach@gmail), or even IRC me :) Working in a decently paying job is murder on the waistline – you’re tired, and takeout (or worse, order in) is easier than cooking.

as ive resolved a lot of issues, my appetite has returned, along with my crappy habits, and im worse than i started off. now i find myself dealing with joint pain, lethargy, and a great deal of disappointment.

i’m following your progress with a lot of interest, and i’m seriously impressed. 9.6kg over 4 weeks is almost unhealthily fast, and the regime youre following is hardcore. its scary, and its also inspiring. you kick ass. god grant me the same degree of perseverence.

much love.
