Blonde will make thin ....Here we go again !

[DaveShoelace]

17 lbs this week.

The last couple of diets I lost 11-12 lbs first week, with nothing different, I can only put the extra down to how badly I was eating at Christmas.

I have relented in one area, I am allowing myself 1 can of coke zero each day.

First reward booked, a sports massage.

A reminder to others to keep my weight loss in context.  Anyone losing several pounds eating healthily has arguably had a better week than me.

Jesus christ - did you chop a leg off mate? You could make a career out of weight loss prop bets.

Fancy a work out this afternoon/teatime mate ?  need to get poker cobwebs out of the system

Almost certainly wont be I am afraid mate - got an afternoon of footy with the lads then actually playing online poker for a change from 5pm.

I will be going first thing tomorrow, but it will be a short session as I I have a hectic work day, got a personal training session tuesday morning - but the rest of the week is wide open - I'll buzz you.

I can do tomorrow at 8am ?

I'll be done by then I'm afraid, I am aiming for 7am to leave at 7.55 (I know that sounds like I am going out of my way to avoid you but its the only time I can realistically make it in tomorrow)

Lee - the OP needs to be updated. My aim was actually to get under 14st on the target date, so my original target weight loss was closer to 19-20lbs (I said 15lbs prior to putting 5lbs on over crimbo)

op updated mate is it correct?

Fuck it, I gonna go to an aerobics class now for a laugh 

That was plenty hard enough for me. It wasn't aerobics as such more of a semi circuit training class with weights. Reckon I'm gonna go again next time just to gawk at the insanely hot chick that was there

Funnily enough, the last weight loss was a prop bet, which is primarily why it didn't work (although I did inadvertently learn a ton in the process)  Just before Vegas, I had a financial prop with an additional sweetner that if I weighed less than my opponent, he was jumping in the fountains at Bellagio. I was spotting him # 50 lbs and I came within 3 lbs of having a very funny video to upload.  Of course, as soon as I collected on the bet, the steakhouses beckoned.

This year, I won't be going to Vegas until June (and maybe not even then) so plenty of time for me to finish my diet and get back into sensible eating.  In the old days, I used to lose weight on Vegas trips...

Don't know what's come over me but I feel really weird in an embarrassing, uncomfortable awkward sort of away. It's like going to your first alcoholics anonymous meeting.

I so just wanted to post 6lb the same as a few of you guys already and am not used to feeling this uneasy about something. My actual weight this morning is 15 st 6lb so have lost 8 lb. this weight is what I have been within a 2lbs for a few years now and I was really shocked to be up at 16..... The wife did point out I was 16 in the evening as I got all excited when I saw this thread and snap stripped off and got weighed having only ever got on scales in the morning.

My meals this week have been Sunday dinner today and the kids and I have just finished with 4 clean plates so mum is happily singing in the kitchen. We have had a carvery on Wednesday at a local pub and it's the nuts, cheap and convenient but other than that I have had salads (chicken, jacket potato, tuna).

The main difference for me has been I have cut down on the picking at food and treats this week. I have had cheese n crackers once this week and ate half a bag of marsh mallows. Got a couple of nice pates in the fridge that I think I will just bin.  

My wife is being a diamond as she is now doing separate meals for me and the kids which she never complains about and She is very supportive.
Previous diets usually go lose a load in a few weeks then return back to where I was at 15st 6 in a month or so.

With my weight bouncing around and having seen lee on ....... Alister James Herbert (sorry he just wanted to spell his name on my phone).... Thursday I decided as I don't really gamble and do prop bets anymore that I would rather donate to the charity of his choice if the diet is a success. I am positive sort of guy and rather say " I've missed my target here is a few quid" I would much rather say " wow this has helped me achieve a goal. Here is a few quid". Obv the charity will benefit either way.


Right gotta go. This must be a tldr post as the wife is giving me the look and the kids are climbing on me to come and play Thomas the tank engine that is laid out in the living room

Ok so weighed in before the gym at 17st 1lb, so that's a loss of 5lbs, pretty standard I guess, the first week is the easy part.
