  • Hello all

    Could I join in too? My current weight is 14st 1 pound and I should be about 10 stone ideally. But I would be happy to just get back to my pre giving up smoking weight of 12 1/2 stone.

    This morning I’ve just finished a study through work were they wanted volunteers to trial a modular diet (in this case Slimfast) were I have lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks. So would love to capitalise on this weight lose.

    My cheap exercise ideas are to just keep moving, no lounging around on the settee watching TV when there is light outside

    So….. this is my plan…..

    1. take the dogs for a 30-40 minute walk every night and not just a stroll but a proper power walk. I walk the dogs daily anyway but sometimes it’s a gentle stroll. No excuses we have lovely areas for dog walking near by.
    2. Get stuck in with gardening, I’m a keen gardener, I have an allotment, and a medium sized garden.
    3. There’s a few DIY projects for the summer which will be energetic (e.g. painting all the external woodwork).

    So far to day

    Breakfast – Home made smoothie
    Mid morning 500ml home made vegetable soup
    Lunch home made vegtable curry and brown rice heated up in works microwave.
    Eve. Meal gosh havn’t a clue – must meal plan.

    I won’t budget for special foods as I’ll just eat ordinary foods.

    But I must keep out of the pub :beer: :beer: :beer:

    welcome blue, it's good to have you in too. Those are great ideas for exercise. Now I wish I had a dog, can't really walk the cats even though they could do with shifting a few pounds too!

    This is me.
    Sadly I'm 4 stone heavier now than then and I was nowhere near target weight at that point!!! i'm afraid head and shoulders is as brave as I'm going to be at this point!!

    I am though wearing the jacket I was talking about last night - the only time i've worn it!!

    Aww thanks you're all so sweet. But I do need to shift a bit of weight honestly. Remember that pic was 10lbs ago. Can't wait to see all of your photos too and in 3 months time we can all post our new bikini pics:D
