Gus weight loss - week 18

It’s been a bit hectic round here recently. An office move for Tredz online and a whole series of events we’ve been getting involved with has kept us on our toes.
Gus has been off his feet like the rest of us, which has kept him from his bike and from hitting his weight loss targets lately. He’s also been on the road a lot so there hasn’t been anyone to shout at him whilst he gorged himself on family size Toblerones in motorway service station car parks*.
I spoke to him this morning and he told me he has gotten back on the bike despite all this. The first time in two weeks and it has made an instant impact on his weight:

Ridden: 21.98 miles (35.3 km) (last week: nil)
Average Speed: 13.7 mph (22.4 kmh) (last week: slow)
Time on bike: 1 hrs 36 mins (last week: none)
Current Weight: 18 stone 7 pounds (117.4kgs) (last week: 18 stone 11 pounds, 119.2 kgs)
Weight loss: 5 pounds 2.2kg (last week: zilch)
Remember
Starting weight at 19/07/07: 21 stone 3 pounds (134.7 kgs)
Target weight for 01/01/08: 16 stone (101 kgs)

The original target of 16 stone looks very unlikely at the moment. Short of a miracle, it looks like Gus is going to fall a bit short even with a huge effort in the final run in. So we’ve set a new, more achievable target of 18 stone. Our boss is pretty adamant that the iPod isn’t happening (“We said 16!”), but I’m sure his already impressive efforts will be rewarded with something. Maybe a carrot.
