The LLL diet (Leave for London Lighter) finished on the day I left Melbourne for London.

The aim was to get under 70kg. 69.5kg to be precise.

I was close, but didn’t quite get there. My final weight was 72.2kg.

Despite not completing the task, I am very happy with how I went. In eight weeks, I lost 5.3kg, through a combination of walking, jogging, cutting down on alcohol, and eating much healthier.

I anticipate I will probably put this back on while in London (I have heard a lot about the dreaded ‘Heathrow Injection’). But that’s OK, because now I know what it takes to get rid of it again.
