Lose weight or die ! my diabetes dogma - WEEK 2

Here's my goal weight progress, with a target of 68kg. This week I averaged a loss of 0.75Kg, about 1.6 pounds.  You can see my body reacting and resisting the regime in the weight chart below, hitting a maximum weight loss of 1.4Kg (3pds) during the period but bouncing back up.  The bounces don't conern me as long as the weekly trend is down. At this rate I won't hit the 68kg target but I'll wait and see how things go in the next week.

How do I reduce? By a magic formula (if I can pull it off):

1. eat less; and,
2. exercise more.

So in normal circumstances I will eat slightly less each meal, and be more careful between meals, and exercise with more weight-losing styles. 

Currently I use the cycle machine for about 16 kms (10 miles) and the rowing machine for 3 kms (about 2 miles, 15 minutes), plus stretching.  This is four times per week, hence the number of weekly weight reading below.

I'll increase low-intensity weight-burning during the weight-loss period. That's not me above in the pic, but it looks like the rowing machine that I use - see the benefits of rowing as a fitness activity.

Here's the results so far (in kilograms):

WEEK	READING 1	READING 2	READING 3	READING 4	AVERAGE
1	73.2	73.4	73.2	73.4	73.3kg
2	73.2	72.6	71.8	72.6	72.55Kg
