I won't be weighing until after work tomorrow - if I get be 14 on the nose I'll be happy. Couple of 3 mile runs under my belt - but possibly a bit cheese heavy

Will weight tomorrow as I forgot, but it'll be interesting. I've been flat out for an entire week with a chest infection, so no exercise, no real movement, but also quite a limited appetite. I'd settle for staying the same.

Have we got a spreadsheet going to track weight loss yet?

I'm happy to put one together and try and keep it updated if not started yet.

I don’t think anyone else is doing one so that would be great smile

I really fell off the last quarter, started flying off, then knew I was falling into bad habits and didn't weigh in from pretty much 2nd week of November, and low and behold was back to where I started! The shame! Bit more determined this year. Hope I am not too late to the Party!

So on 1st Jan, I was 101.7kg
15th Jan 99.1kg

Started CrossFit, and both myself and the OH have been doing so much food planning and hit all the right goals and have come up with some pretty tasty creations. A bit of a shameless plug, but the OH has started a bit of a food blog, feel free to delete if not on, but for those of a FaceBook persuasion she is updating it daily with what we have been cooking

And if you have a Southern Fried chicken urge, Tom Kerridge's version he did on his new programme on the Beeb, is bloody excellent!

Good luck all!

I'll put together a spreadsheet tonight.

My weights so far:

1/1 - 83.9kg
8/1 - 83.0kg
15/1 - 80.9kg

Reasonable progress, but the first few weeks are the easiest!

W1: 100.2kg
W2: 98.2kg
W3: 96.6kg

Still going in the right direction, and have been very faithful to the diet. No alcohol is starting to get a bit tough. Routine has settled down a bit, this week should be another pretty easy week. Old clothes are starting to fit, which is nice.

buckled and had a takeaway with o/h last night.

Going for a run today, but anticipating a stall this week.

Bad......

On the other hands, clothes have started feeling a sniff looser

After saying on Sunday that I'm doing OK, I've had a slip this week, starting Sunday PM!

We ate out; can't resist a burger with all the trimmings and I finished the evening off with some cider and did the same yesterday, I actually feel a bit bloated, hoping it's just water retention from the alcohol as it will go quickly.

Back to being good today; 45 minutes bootcamp this morning and about to take the dogs out for a decent walk, no booze till Saturday night; going out with work to TGI's so I also won't be eating too good either, but as my my old bootcamp instructor said, "having a day off once a week won't kill you, you need something to look forward to otherwise you get bored with healthy eating and are more likely to slip back to old habits permanently"

I'll check my weight in tomorrow morning.

You can't cut everything out and sustain it.

I'm out for dinner on Saturday night and I'm not worrying about it too much as I know, overall I'm still much better than I was a couple of weeks ago.

I'll eat what I want and carry on afterwards.

I'm still skeptical of making a true loss because day/night variations of about 1.5 kg, but I did say the trend was important, so this is a positive start.

Anecdotally, my clothes are feeling a tad looser in places. I've also noticed some nights I go to bed hungry and others not, so I'll pay more attention over the next few weeks to see if the hunger is down to coming in too far under my goal, is when I don't exceed my goal or is due to the food I've eaten during the day. The aim of course to be not feeling hungry, but hitting my goals.

I have also worked a little on cutting out sugar, dropping the amount in coffee to almost none, and avoiding sweets, which are my nemesis. I replaced booze with sugar five years back and it's time to tame the cravings.

Weighed in at 14 on the nose yesterday, so that's 2 lbs more gone.

02/01/18 - 201 lbs/ 91.36 kg
09/01/18 - 198 lbs/ 90 kg
16/01/18 - 196 lbs / 89.1 kg

2.2 kg down then. Little over a third of a stone

ETA: Managed to get out for a 3.5 mile run 3 times - pace has gone 10:16 per mile, to 10:04 to 9:36 (weird day of winds) - each one has less walking than the previous.

Been working from home and there's still Christmas stuff in the fridge to eat.
Dogs refuse to go out for a walk if it's raining. ( Yes seriously)

Got a 2 week work trip to the US in a month, so I'll need to lose weight and improve cardio for that as I'll hopefully be snowboarding at the weekend.

No gym since Friday, diet off the rails as no kitchen, feeling lardy.

Gym tonight, tried to go last night but got embroiled in a conversation about bathroom fittings with the missus and couldn't be bothered then.

Chaps, good luck with the weight loss...if anybody is interested, anytime i have needed to shed a few pounds a stick to this diet: -

BREAKFAST - Large bowl of Shredded wheat bitesize - handful of blueberries and a chopped banana with semi milk - cup of tea. OR porridge

LUNCH - Bowl of soup with a roll

DINNER - A good sized sensible dinner, try to eat lots of fresh greens and veg with it - all home cooked, no takeaways as part of your normal diet - but as a treat once every 2 weeks.

1-2 apples + another couple of pieces of fruit during the day.

if you are going to eat a treat, make sure you actually need to energy or have earned it.

Apart from that, Cut out all the crap

EXERCISE - Cycling - good on the joints as not the stress you get with running and you can cover large distances pretty much straight away, you really burn off the cals.

always worked for me.
