    Hi folks, sorry I haven't abandoned you - I have a minor crisis here - a broken soil pipe - and the plonkers who are supposed to be fixing it are messing about so the insurers have agreed to pay for alternative accommodation over the weekend - which means that I only have internet access when I'm home to see to the cat!

    I'll get caught up soon!

    Well done Posh! That's amazing weight loss. :j
    Tara, I must agree with taffy about the fat turning to muscle - I keep telling myself that at least when I have not been losing much. My body went from no excercise to me running 4 times a week - that is one hell of a change and I'm really hoping that this is the case! :o

    Happy Birthday for tomorrow the Dragon! :beer: Hope you have a lovely day. It is my SIL 40th so I am looking after her 2 kids so there will be very little chance of any excercise for me.

    Not had a great day food wise. After being sick all week, I have been craving fatty foods so I had birthday cake and 2 packets of crisps in work. Then I had one of those ham and cheese toasties in M&S cafe! Then to polish it all off, I had a Twirl!!! :mad: :eek: I hate myself. :mad:

    Fantastic weightloss Pooh.

    Daisy sorry to hear about your soil pipe hope they fix it and clean up afterwards.

    Did a fair bit of walking today, followed by a cheese sandwich for lunch made using Kingsmill oaty bread (it has oats, linseed, poppyseed, millet and something else in it), followed by the last of my mum's low fat cakes.

    Also indulged in some sexercise I think thats what the government call it:o :D :cool:
  • Hey guys!!

    inake for today:

    B: cheerios
    L: tuna salad & cous cous, apple, 2 snack boxes of raisins
    D: HM beef stew, small portion mash, peas and caeser veg, followed by a friday treat of HM banana cake! yum!

    exercise:

    30mins on exercise bike.

    Think I am gonna take the plunge and get a rowing machine tomorrow, so I can do some other type of exercise at home.

    Hope everyone else is keeping on track?!

    Now I've given up chocolate I really need to focus on the other stuff I eat, so please count me in for half a stone in March.

    Weight today 239 and a half pounds
    Height 65"
    Age 39
    Incentives for me: I need to drop a load of weight if I ever want to get my black belt in my martial arts class.
    I will be 40 next January.
    Going to Orlando at Christmas.
    Fallen Arches and snoring would be helped by weight loss.

    My new weight today - two pounds less than the figures in pale yellow above..:j

    The same incentives still stand, I've still not had any chocolate. It's nearly dawn in the mornings when I get up now, so it's getting to the right time of year for going for a brisk walk before going to work - I'll keep you posted on that, it was minus 3 this week, so didn't go out in that...:o
