Welcome to the Fifth of a continuing series of posts called Wednesday Weigh Day. These posts will be a tracker for my progress through weight loss, hopefully, and a way to share my journey, and some of my recipes. With a current Daily Kilojoule goal of 5000Kj, to better tie in with my wife, who is also on the weight loss journey. I have been on the 5000Kj goal for 3 days of this week, the first half of the week I was still at 6000Kj per day.

Weight at Start: 131.7kg

Goal Weight: 95kg

Weight Today: 120.7kg

Weight Loss this Week: 1.3kg

Total Weight Loss: 11.0kg

Amount till Goal Weight: 25.7kg

My front and side will obviously have changed very little in a week, though there are changes. If you want to see the biggest change I encourage you to look at Week 1, then look back at these pictures.

This week there standout meal, based on comments on Facebook, and personal feedback, was the Chicken Fried “Rice”.
