Congrats, 7lbs is a great start. Do you feel hungry much?

Thanks Lyn.

I was hungry in the first few days but that is as much of a reflection of how much I was overeating before I started this as it is to how much I've cut down.

Once I got back into the routine of dieting and strictly controlling my eating the hunger went and now 8 days in I feel good.

I think perhaps I am slightly under-eating but not by much.

My bike arrived today too so Monday's weigh-in should be interesting. Shame its pouring with rain now so I cant go for a ride!

I've got a baaaaad feeling about my weigh-in tomorrow.

Don't think I've had a particularly bad week, apart from some spaghetti bolognaise last night, but I don't feel like I've lost any weight at all.

Ahh well fingers crossed for tomorrow....

Stay positive- a loss is better than a gain!

Are you sure you're eating enough? Just reading your first post is making me feel hungry!

Hi, just wanted to say i admire your determination, but i do feel that your diet plan will make you unwell. You are not getting enough nutrients and are totally cutting out protein from your diet. You need plenty of protein to maintain muscle otherwise your body will be breaking your muscle down and using that for energy! I would also be worried about you exercising as you need carbs for energy and you are very low in these too therfor you will not feel like exercising.
If you cut out junk food, eat fresh produce, ie, fruit, veg, white meat, fish, wholegrain pasta/bread and combine this with exercise (which you will have plenty of energy for!) No carbs at night time.....you will find the lbs melt off, i can assure you!

Good luck either way, just remember your health comes first.

Thanks both for the comments.

Jellybabie I think you are right. I'm just a bit impatient and tend to do things to extremes sometimes but it should never be to the detriment of my health.

I'm trying to make my diet a bit more balanced and varied - had a chicken salad for tea (using cooked chicken breast) so that's my protein taken care of for today and I've also had pasta a couple of times.

Thanks for the advice, I'm stepping up the exercise now so lets hope for a better loss next week.

Well done IwillBeThin!

You are totally right! We must keep our health at the front of our minds!
If you eat "clean" calories, ie, the foods i listed and dont eat junk your body will find these calories much easier to burn off.......you will feel good, have plenty of energy AND lose weight! You are on the right track my friend. Build up the exercise slowly, dont dive in head first and tire yourself out. Remember, make lifestyle changes, so you dont get bored or lose interest! You can do this! Good luck and i look forward to reading your progress!

Thanks again Jellybabie. Good advice for sure.

Last Week: 16st 6lbs
New Weight: 16st 4lbs

So another two lbs off, I seem to have hit my plateau early but 2lbs a week is a decent loss and I am one 7th of the way to target.

Lets aim for 16st 0lbs next Monday

Oh and Jellybabie, your pics are a good motivation, you have done amazingly!

Gah! Only one pound off this week. To be fair though, I was lucky to manage that. On friday night I drank plenty of beer, then on saturday night I drank even more beer, then sunday was spent grazing with a hangover - not eating unhealthy food but just eating quite a lot.

Damn Beer!

Back on the wagon this week.

Well, wow, I'm not quite sure what the hell has happened this last week. I have done nothing different to previous weeks, except not had the beer that I had last weekend, yet half a stone just seems to have fallen off.

I got into some work trousers today that I haven't been able to get into for months too.

I like this stage of losing weight - when you really start to feel the positive results.
