Hi Sandra,
Thanks for doing this again - I’ve followed you all silently from the sidelines during the initial 12 weeks, and now I’m joining you for the next 12.
With a start weight of 102.6 kg (226.1 lbs) I figured that I would set the goal of loosing 1 kg (2.2 lbs) per week.
So by June 24 I will weigh 90 kg (198.4 lbs).
Stepping unto the scale yesterday morning revealed the unpleasant, but hardly surprising fact that I had passed 100 kg - I had gone from a 2 digit readout to 3 digits 
But this is all about to change.
Three weeks from now I’m back below the magic 100 kg threshold - and at the end of the 12 weeks I will have lost 12.6 kg (27.8 lbs) alltogether.
First step is a radical change in diet.
Out with
- Sugar
- Artificial sweeteners
- Candy, snacks, cakes
- Coffee
- Diary products
In with
- Water - lots of it
- Vegetables
- Fruit
- Green tea
Next step is a long due visit at the doctors office for a general checkup, to get some baseline values for cholesterol, bloodsugar, bloodpressure and whatever it is that doctors can find out from a few drops of blood, and to find out if some recent chestpains are serious or “just” sideeffects from some muscle backpains I’ve developed lately (or if it’s the other way around)
After the go from my doctor I’ll slowly put some excercise into the plan, because as it is now I can’t even take a full gulp of air without having my back cramp up.
It’s great that you’ve joined us! It is wise that you are going to the doctor for a physical. Hope everything goes well and you get some relief for you back. In the meantime your diet changes alone could make a big difference in your health.
