Ouch to no kitchen! :eek:

Well done on the weight loss, you're doing so well, and I feel tired looking at that exercise list! You on MFP (MyFitnessPal)?

Totally with you on the do up dream idea. Saw a lovely chapel down the road that went up for auction with permissions and did rather drool at the idea. Will have to wait for Mr Watty to retire tho.

Thanks Cal, yes was tough without a kitchen, suspect thats why I need to lose weight now as drifted into some bad habits. No, haven't got the ap, will take a look xx

Yes Watty, we nearly bought a pub pre this house, would have been fantastic but they were building loads of houses in the car park and would have been surrounded to the point of ridiculous. The houses are built now and I can see we wouldn't have been happy there.

Redone my annual gym membership, the normal cost is £33 a month and i got a deal (kids swim there) for £214 annual (2 months free if pay up front) which equates to £3.97 a week, which is less than 1 class fee, very pleased. Daves as well took it to £428, which was a early morning ouch.

Still feeling very motivated with weight, I am known to family and friends as being quite "compulsive" when i get an idea into my head and feel I have tipped into that bracket for this, which can that be a bad thing..... (dave would say measuring rum into a medicine pot is "a step too far"). He would say the same about my MFW behaviour too, hence every now and again I have to "give" a bit to keep him on board.

Have very little (nothing) MFW to report. Still fighting the good fight. Currently spending a bit more on food but as my current "project" is me, I think to be expected. Lots of gorgeous food but very little "naughty".

Have managed to get good value from my gym membership this week as have done zumba, spinning x2, gym session, aerobics and boot camp which is not bad for £4 a week. Planning similar week next week as have a week off (half term). Only lost 1lb though but hey ho, I have seriously sweated in a very unattractive way. Goal is to hit 2 stone before Easter...

Have added, I hope.... my user name is different. Xx

Got up early and managed to convince Dave to come to gym with me for an hour. Just finished my Sunday chores and had big dinner of jacket potato, beans and salad. Stuffed.

Your weight loss is fantastic HDK, well done.

I'm jogging every 2nd day and while the pedometer tells me I'm burning 500+ calories every time, I'm certainly not losing any weight!

I think I'm eating a few more snacks during the day, but they're all healthy weighed out things (for example, 30g of unsalted redskin peanuts, 30g of raisins).

Guess I'd be the size of a house without the jogging!

You are probably replacing fat with muscle. Well done! :T
