Historical weight change over last three years

-
I've been analysing my weight data I have recored on my Wii. I've taken a summary of what I have an plotted it for comparison. Here are some facts I've uncovered:
  • I was heaviest at the beginning of September 2011 at 90kg
  • I recorded my largest weight change between January 2009 and April 2009, losing 9.5kg in total
  • I was at my lowest weight in April 2009 at 77kg
  • My rate of change in the last two months is the highest rate of change I've recorded
  • I've not spent a great deal of time at a steady weight
Worryingly, I had not realised just how heavy I was getting in September 2011, I was somewhat heavier than I was when I went for my medical in December 2008 when I was in a bad way healthwise.

I need to think about what my next goal will be, as I'm getting quite close to my target BMI of 23.5. I'm currently at 23.87. Looking at the data I think it will need to be something around maintenance. I could happily lose a bit more weight and go to 23, but there is no point if I'm just going to put is all back on again.

Here is the data:

Resting before race tomorrow - 82.5kg

-
I'm racing the Langley 7 race tomorrow: http://www.mh.k313.com/mh/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=364&Itemid=71 So yesterday and today I'm resting before the race. I've been suffering from quite sore legs at the back of my thighs (hamstring muscles I think), so I wanted my legs to be fit again. I think it was due to the extra hill runs I did earlier in the week. Last night I restarted on some strength training, just the 100 push ups program again, coupled with some crunches. I'll try to get my free weights from my mum and dad some time, and look into the Xbox exercise program which has been gathering dust. My weight over the last couple of days has crept up from 82.2. to 82.5. No big deal really, but it is because I"m eating the odd chocolate bar and had a couple of beers.

Hill training - 81.4kg

-
It is getting to the end of the month and I've started to think about the objectives I set myself. The two uppermost in my mind are running and strength training. For running I'm going to have to put some serious hill work in over the next week, I have to do 1,058 metres of ascent. Here is my run last night which included 4 ascents to trig point on Kerridge Ridge. With this in mind I know I can get to 5000 metres: I've let my strength training slip. I can't quite remember what goal I set, but I think I'm a way off achieving it. I'll have to review and come back.

BBC article on dieting

-
I found this BBC article a bit depressing, not really much of a mention of exercise as a primary mechanism for weight loss. However, this article , was a more useful read and highlighted that protein can help you feel fuller for longer. One of the issues I have is that I feel hungry, so if I take on more protein it might help. Will remember this and try it out. Finally, this article advises that people who want to lose weight should weigh themselves every day in order to enable you to make small adjustments as necessary. This fits with my philosphy that the more regularly you are sampling the closer you are to being able to pinpoint why changes are occurring.
