What happens after that was to be decided however as I progressed into this phase of the diet, I did then set my myself a hard target of trying to get down to 70kg by mid 2016.
Whether that is achieved or not will be discussed in the future, but this phase only covers the 20 weeks from August to December. My actual vacation is not included and I have a separate plan for that: not as detailed of course but can be used as a template for other extended off-diet activities in the future.
20 Week Goal to Lose Weight
Lose 0,5kg per week for a total loss of 10kgHow I would make this goal would be dependent on the targets I set during the period for motivation to make the goal attainable. Since I was brought up using imperial measurements, especially for weights until I moved to Finland in the late 90s, I was able to mix and match imperial and metric weights to make the process more fun - providing targets and milestones frequently instead of only one final goal.
