Seriously good stuff Lee. That target of yours might still be attainable if you really want it.
Like Dan says you need to check the label on your salad cream. A few squirts of that stuff could really ruin your great efforts.
Have you weighed yourself at all yet? To be honest in your shoes I probably wouldn't bother. If you're being honest with what you're eating then you will have lost weight no matter what so you don't need to know.
Also as Dan says (really must stop agreeing with Dan twice in one post) we need to know about your training as well.
You've made great progress with your diet but your training is equally important if you're going to be ready for your long walk that you've got coming up.
i weighed myself a few days ago 16 stone 5 i ain't weighing myself now till sunday morning (day of help for heroes tourney) if i am under 16 stone i intend on having a few pints if not then i wont ........either way my treat day this week is going to be sunday!! i am 100% being honest with what i am eating i would only be cheating myself it may not seem a lot to most but i really don't think i could do this with out the help and encouragement i am getting from you pre posting my diet on here i would have the odd chocolate or bag of crisps chips kebab or burger no where near like i used to be but now i am shocked with myself!! its strange but i would be embarrassed and feel Ive let people down if i did now!! So if you do well you're going to fuck it up by drinking lager? Lee it's only a few weeks to your walk by which time you hope to be 15st. If you're 16st on Sunday then you have a chance. Why blow it for the sake of a couple of pints? Why not reward yourself by giving yourself a pat on the back and carrying on for a couple more weeks? Surely you'll still have a good time if you don't drink? I'll be there on the water to offer some support. Are you going to take your own food as well? There isn't anything on the DTD menu that would be ideal for you at the moment. If that's not practical you could eat your diet food on friday and have your Sunday treat as some DTD food.yes i am going to be taking my own food to eat i think i will stick to my friday treat not sunday. |

Hellmans do an extra-light mayonnaise that isn't really mayonnaise according to the connoisseurs, but it's just 3% fat. Not sure what other bad shit is in it but it's going to be a damn sight better than salad cream and even the 'low' fat versions are often still 20%+ fat.
As you have been doing, check the label on anything that claims to be light or low.
If you're bored with the walking, run-walking might be the way to go. Run for a few minutes, then walk for a few. Mix in some slow running and the occasional sprint, and then walk to recover. It's good for the heart as well.
i went tesco today to look for a better dressing for my tuna and chicken!! found one 30% less fat ........... another 70% less fat all made by Heinz...... wait here we go..... weight watchers from Heinz salad creme style dressing less than 5% fat thanks for the help boshi its really appreciated i was/am run walking i am doing 2.5 miles per night Thursday planning to do at least 15 miles |

You have to be really careful with the 30% less fat claims as they can be very misleading. A few years ago there was a new mars bar came out that was 30% less fat (or something similar). A quick check of the wrapper and it was just a mars bar that was 30% smaller. Exactly the same percentage but yes there's no denying that it was 30% less than before. Total fat is what you need to check and as a rough quide anything around 5% or less is fine. |

Brilliant. Can't wait for the 11th mate and the big weigh in. If you keep up the 2.5 miles minimum per day and this diet I seriously think 15st is achievable. |

i have to be honest here .........
i was thinking the same thing about drinking on sunday its just that Ive been looking forward to it since it was announced.
a few pints and laugh with like minded people supporting IMO the most amazing charity.
HOWEVER
the charity i am doing my walk for is also an amazing charity
the effort i have put in and the help and support of friends and family could /would be in ruins so
i will only be drinking water (and the odd cup of tea) on sunday in fact no alcohol till June 11Th you have my word matt and dan.
Loving the commitment! Are the family helping at all by joining in, or are they pigging out on what they want? Probably taunting you as well  |

lol thanks guys
i think i am going to weigh myself on sunday morning (not so i can pig out)
but it would give me a massive boost if i am under 16 stone.
the family are all helping my seven year old came on arun the other night (he was on his bike)
the kids are always saying look dad only 98 calories in this or 0.1 g of fat ...
Alison has been eating similar to me she also wants to shed a few pounds ..so its all good in the fish household!
whilst at tesco
looked at pickled beetroot and onions (the calories and fat content) its got fuck all in it ... can i eat shit loads of this stuff like with my chicken at lunch ?

tikay eats a shit load of beetroot when he's doing his weightloss. I'd imagine you can eat loads of em but may get problems with taking in too much acid (indigestion maybe). also need to keep an eye on whether they've got added salt I suppose though a study I saw last week suggested that like most advice from the 80s and 90s the general advice on salt is a load of bollocks

Not a beetroot expert but if there's nothing in it I guess it can't be too bad.
What Gatso says sounds pretty much spot on.

Link to study please! From what I've read about salt, it's dangerous to eat excessive amounts of sodium if you're not taking in sufficient amounts of water to compensate. Obviously above a certain amount you'd be unable to take on enough water, so the body then absorbs it and it can do damaging things. Always interested in more studies though! |
