I posted a few weeks ago about how I was going to go on a diet and change my lifestyle. Yesterday marked 3 weeks on the diet, so I posted a "status report" / "progress report" (I work in IT - you'll have to excuse the IT-esque terminology!). What I didn't go into were some of metrics related to my weight loss / diet blogging.
