diets

[yegnold]

I'm not on a diet, I'm on an exercise regime which will hopefully turn in to a change of lifestyle

A blog would be better, we could all be very-Bridget-Jones. A spreadsheet would just be Numberwang!

How are we all doing ?

NOt had much chance to get out and do things...been DIYing etc..

Still managed to drop 2lbs lastweek with only one visit to the gym, so cant complain.

[Octygone]

Down from 19-1 to 18-13 this monday

[Johnny50]

Excellent.

[yegnold]

I lost 1lb over the week but as mentioned before I'm not dieting

[matt_theforce]

havent weighed myself this week as I was a little naughty last week and broke my eating routine , will wait till end of this week to weigh myself.

I have had to make a new hole in my belt though

[Tom_vRS]

I was 19st 6lbs on Monday, so thats another lb last week - not at all disappointed with 10lbs over a fortnight.

I've been much stricter as of Sunday though. Cycled 6 miles last night (a brisk half hour exercise), and briskly walked for 45mins at lunchtime today. I've banned food after 8pm, and am making sure I leave a little bit of my dinner on my plate, even if its just a forkful of mash or whatever.

Well done everyone else though, all good progress!!

[fonzi's felicia]

me an my girl (anthraxgti) started the south beach diet an so far its going well.

[Tom_vRS]

Well I couldn't resist a cheeky weigh in last night as I've been saintly with what I've been eating and the exercise I've been doing - and I've lost 14lbs! Thats a whole stone in just under 3 weeks

To say I'm chuffed is a massive understatement, it just seems to be falling off me

If I keep this up I won't have to buy a new suit for my brother's wedding in March

[Johnny50]

Well done Tom.

Thats fantastic.

Just shows you how little a change can bring a huge impact.

[matt_theforce]

Well done Tom. I too couldn't resist a quick check but I've put on 1lb :(

[Tom_vRS]

1lb here or there isn't worth going by - water retention etc means body weight fluctuated by several lbs a day...

I'm seriously hungry right now. Had a stupid day at work and didn't get to grab any lunch. Had a bowl of cornflakes about 4pm, and just got home from gritting. Theres nothing healthy in the house, so hoping this pint of water will clench my hunger til morning... :(

[Octygone]

Only lost another pound this week so now down to 18-12 at least it's still going downwards...9 pounds in three weeks

[matt_theforce]

Down to just under 12 1/2 stone now. I've lost just over 1 stone in 2 months.

I'm now weigh less than when I got married and can fit into my wedding suit again, so thats another suit I now have for work without having to buy one

[Tom_vRS]

Well done mate, thats excellent!!

I've been naughty this weekend, so I'm not going to weigh in again til next Monday!

[Octygone]

Now down to 18.10 .........and we tried to stop Tom on Saturday....fry up in the morning:eek: ......chocolate brownies and biscuits at JKM :eek: I reckon he has put it ALL back on

[Tom_vRS]

I know, I've really forgotten myself just lately. Time to get back on track...

Well done though Rob , and thanks for trying :P

[Johnny50]

I'm doing not too bad, healthy eating has slipped a tad (just had a Haggis roll for brekkie )

But i'm still going to the gym twice a week and cycling inbetween. So not all bad.

Not weighed myself for a week though.

[Tom_vRS]

I've not cycled for about 10 days and I've not really committed any thought to what I've been eating at all.

A fresh burst of enthusiasm as of now I think!

[Johnny50]

Well to be fair, i've not been cycling far.

Weather has been slightly against me.

[Tom_vRS]

Well to be fair, i've not been cycling far.

Weather has been slightly against me.

Thats genuinely my excuse too. Might go for a ride later though

[Johnny50]

I'll be out tonight for a while hopefully.

Damn cold though !
