Healthpointe - Week 6 Results

Week 6 has ended and I'm now officially off the Healthpointe program!  Yay!  This means I can eat more freely whilst maintaining some healthy habits that I picked up along the way in order to maintain my weight.  What I like about this program is that it never makes you feel like you need to eat less to maintain or lose weight.  Most people I know seems to reiterate "eat less, eat less" but I now know that it really isn't that necessary.  Yes calories in and calories out matters but where you get your calories from matter more.

Anyway enough of that, I'm going straight to my results at the end of the Healthpointe program.

PROGRESS PHOTOS
I look a bit feral in my final photos but that's because I took them at the very end of the day as it was a busy weekend for me.  I almost didn't have time to take them but decided I wanted to anyway since it seemed more authentic to take the photos on the last day of the program.

I actually notice a little bit of progress from my Week 1 results here.  But again the difference isn't immediately noticeable.  While it's slightly disappointing that my results haven't been more dramatic I also expected as much since I was very overweight when I began, the heaviest I have ever been in my life.  Also even after losing weight I'm still 2kg above what I would have considered my regular weight just one year ago.

WEEK 6 (DAY 42)

WEEK 1 (DAY 1)

WEEKLY PROGRESS

So at the end of the six weeks in Healthpointe I have seen some major weight loss.  I probably would not have thought it possible to lose weight like this prior to Healthpointe.  While I'm not at my goal weight yet and still not happy with my current weight I am happy with the progress made so far.  I'll do a more thorough blog post on my final thoughts regarding Healthpointe soon.

There was not much change between weeks 5 and 6 which is to be expected since I added a slice of bread to my lunch and dinner menu.  I realise I haven't talked much about the menu so maybe that can be a blog post for later as well.  All in all whilst I finished at 69.5 I would expect my resting weight to be around 70.5 kg for now which would be a 6.6 kg weight loss.  I will continue to monitor my weight in the days, weeks and months after Healthpointe.
