222.6lbs this morning. The rate of loss has slowed to a crawl. I think thats probably indicative of being pretty at the natural weight for my height and build (192cm mesomorph with certain ectomorphic characteristics) as I can't cut any more out with starving myself or skipping meals wholesale.

Just shows how we wise (read: lucky) I was choosing 220lb/100kg as my target.

What a sad reflection on eating habits this is. Workers in a well paid job would rather quit the job than lose weight.
Copy and paste from a news item.




Hundreds of North Sea workers are still too heavy for offshore helicopter travel less than two months before new rules come into force, BBC Scotland has learned.

From November they should weigh no more than 124.7kg (19.5st) in their clothing and footwear, so they can be winched to safety in an emergency.

When the plans were announced by industry body Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) last year, they said more than 2,200 workers were above that limit. New figures suggest up to 800 still exceed it.

Jobs could be lost as a result, and an occupational health expert said some had left the offshore industry rather than lose the weight.

I got refused a job as a chopper spotter in the dibble. The craft could only carry so much payload and it was cramped, so there was a 100kg/6'2" limit. I could have probably just got under 100kg, but wasn't about to chop my feet off!

There must be some real bloaters in the oil industry.

Wasn't too much damage, edged up 1 lb to 11st 13lb. Happy with that, still under 12st.

and this week back down to 1/2 lb under 11st 12lb. or 75kg in metric

To be fair, I was over the weight limit of my bike when I bought it, The shop owner who I've known for years just laughed at that bit and carried on.

Still doing well but it stalls when I have beer or three like I did last night, BUT I did have a sensible meal out and no chips: to the surprise of the local pub chef who knows us very well.

Many years ago I met a woman who worked on the rigs

There were not many women there and she was not at all complimentary about the blokes that worked there

and over eating was one of the things she commented on
and that fact that the ones that ate most were the ones most likely to - err - be a pain shall we say
