Brilliant! Well done, Newton. To give you some context, that’s the birth weight of a southern sea lion. Or a moose.
So which did he give birth to? Enquiring minds need to know!

Crud has it ar$e about face; have eaten moose & have not eaten sea lion (yet)...
Probably for the best. Moose is delicious. I had whale once (don’t hate me, he was already dead) and it tasted fecking dreadful.
Sunday morning stats...
Waist: just under 43" so also no change. Can anyone help explain what might be going on? The weight continues to go at an average of 2lbs power week, but from where?
Am I the only one waiting patiently on this thread for a follow up photo of a chiseled dan showing the fruits of his labour. We need before and after shots!
Thanks for the insight. Actually, I've had several people noticing already and I'm a big guy. What you say about subcutaneous lard would figure as I'm now able to do up my watch strap another notch tighter.Without taking a lot of other measurements, you'll never know but...
Interstitial fat in the abdomen would be a good one to lose. Subcutaneous fat *everywhere* is more likely.
So effectively that layer of fat under your skin has probably got a tiny bit thinner all over. Think about getting 4 packs of butter and smearing it all over. Now when you've calmed down, you'll see that you don't need a massive layer all over to have 2 lbs of fat used up
One of the challenges when you're a big person anyway and losing weight is that you can lose a lot and no bugger notices. Then suddenly it starts going more visibly from the triggers like chin cheeks and face. Of course where we really want to lose if from is in the abdomen. And that's the last to go and the first to come back

I picked up the little dog before I went out earlier and it really is a motivator to realise I’m now not walking around with that all the time!

Dave is right, and this is a fundamental biological activity.
Newton, your body is currently resisting losing fat. Pretty sure I posted the bank analogy previously but the short version is that you need to work with your body and metabolism and no against it. Keep calories consumed lower than calories expended and you will lose weight. Eventually. Make the difference too great and your body will persist in starvation mode, doing everything it can to reduce calorie expenditure and bring things back in balance.
28 lbs in just under 7 weeks is frankly remarkable. That would work out at 4lbs a week or a calorie deficit of 14000(!) per week. In context if you were a normal man doing a normally active day you'd have to have subsisted on 500kcal a day for *seven weeks*.
No not lose heart or get frustrated. Accept that this is the right way to do ig and stick with it.
