Weight Loss Report Week 1
According to the scales at Boots, in seven days I've gone from 13st 13lb to 13st 6lb.
Dead chuffed with that - 1/2 stone in my first week. I've been cycling to work, no booze, no potatoes and a combination of Weightwatchers and calorie counting.
I expect slower progress this week but I'll stick at it....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

If you lose it slowly you are more likely to keep the weight off.Comment

One of the things that's made it easier is the missus' cooking - she cooked some great meals last week from various low fat and Weightwatcher cookbooks. It helps a lot as I really love my food....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Certainly didn't have the time in the UK, 4 hour commute every day and the last thing I wanted to do is to come home and drive half an hour to the gymComment

I find motivation for excercise the problem. Especially since my cycle buddies moved away / got new boyfriend. Easy to think "I'll go out later" and never quite get round to it. Need to set myself a goal. Thinking maybe one of those 'sprint' (in my case distance, not speed!) triathlon things.
Went to ClientCo canteen for soup today. Mulligatawny - yeuch. And he had fantastic looking roast pork with all the trimmings (although I did forego the crackling as a nod to the diet). Nom nom nom.Comment
