Well it might sound more dramatic than it is, but after 22 days (I started on May 9th) I lost 4.7 kilos and missed my goal to lose 5 kilos by the end of the month by only 300 Grams ... . The last 3 days were quite pounding with 59 kilometers by bike on Monday, 90 minute at the gym yesterday with 10% more weight than last week and 55.8 kilometers by bike today. Time to look at the final stats for the month:
Duration: 22 days
Weight loss: 4.7 kilos
Biking: 445.47 kilometers
Gym: 11 times (3 per week on average)
I have not touched any alcohol for 6 weeks in a row, no coffee or junk food for 4 weeks in a row and in general feel much better. It is important though that you
a) don't overdo it ... easily done especially at the beginning
b) slowly increase the action
c) work out regularly
d) take a close look at the eating patterns ...
I used to have many little snack breaks before and cut those down a lot, mainly by eating fruit throughout the day and drink lots of water. Different variations of salad don't make it boring and you can always mix in slices of grilled chicken breast, because the body needs the meat as well to get energy in order to keep up the pace.
As far as June 2012 is concerned, I probably gonna try for at least 300km by bike and 2-3 x gym per week ... I will only be away from June 12th - 19th for a live event coverage and hopefully gonna find something in or near the hotel in the morning or just go walking. Gaining weight won't be a problem either with 12h+ work for 4 days in a row and I hope to settle for another 3 kilos weight loss by the end of next month.

You are doing so great! I bet that last little bit of weight was just muscle that you added while exercising. You should go by how good you feel and how your clothes fit...and only weigh in like every 2 weeks. So proud of you!! Keep it up!
