A few months ago I bought weighing scales and placed them in work. Although it is not the best time in absolute terms after a sixteen mile commute it is a consistent time and condition though the weather will make a difference work and liquid loss. As I am naked apart from socks between cycling and work clothes I step on the scales and take the daily measurement of my weight. When I arrive at my desk I enter that number into my spreadsheet and plot a monthly graph. I do not worry about daily fluctuations but hope for a downward trend. I want the first number to be higher than the last figure in each month. So far, September was good a fluctuating but definite decline by 1kg. October had me worried it climbed mid month but in the last week graph turned down again to finish 0.1kg down. Weight loss is weight loss, good.
It gets better, the loss has continued into November. This morning when I expected an upturn after a lazy weekend the scales reported 79.8kg the time I have seen a weight under 80kg for five years. Not all good, on the weekend I searched at the far end of the rail for 34" trousers it is time to stop using 36". I have discovered that the distaff has contributed them to charity bags. I still claim to be 35", that is I use the comfortable 35" hole on my belt. I can use the 34" hole without distress. My remaining specialist trousers that are 34" fit with spare material. Clothes makers flatter, they would get a lot of wrong size returns if they did not.
