Welcome to the Tenth 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, and to expedite the weight loss so I can wok out my neutral caloric intake. I have been on the 5000Kj goal for just over of a month now and have settled into the reduced intake reasonably well.

I have found this week that I have been sneaking extra Kilojoules here and there due to boredom, hunger, depression, or simple cravings. This hasn’t hit my weight loss too hard, but I know this isn’t a great habit to continue.

Weight at Start: 131.7kg

Goal Weight: 95kg

Weight Today: 117.0kg

Weight Loss this Week: 0.6kg

Total Weight Loss: 14.7kg

Amount till Goal Weight: 22.0kg

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. Having said that, I have noticed that on most pair of pants I have reclaimed yet another belt loop.

This week I thought I would share my Naked Chicken Parmie recipe. I know that many people have a fairly set idea on what a Parmie should contain and how it should be cooked. This recipe serves to simply make a lighter version of the pub classic.
