1 over par and here's to many more! Well done you. Your walking has probably come at the right time for you then.

Thanks. I probably walked that much when not working, but was worried I would lose it when working. So to still have it has been great!


So that's my first week done. And I can't get over how easy it is to stick to the diet when working. First shake while walking up to work from the bus. Water and a can of fizzy diet juice during the morning, through the first break.

I take a late lunch, sit and read the paper and have my other shake. Water etc again during afternoon and the break and then home. Get in the door about 6 and have my tea about 7. By then I can go the rest of the night without eating due to being tired and going to bed at a reasonable time.

So hopefully the weight will come off even faster than I am aiming for...that would be a great bonus.


Tomorrow I am going up to Pitlochry with a mate from my pipe band. It's the last games of the season but we aren't playing. Just taking the train through for a good day out. Picked up two shakes for it (and vodka and mixer *ahem*) so should stay on top of it all!

Any one else got anything interesting planned for the weekend?

[Angela1]

I work on Saturday mornings then town with daughter, Sunday -church then walk dog if not raining. oh and hoovering.

Hi Pugso, I've just come across your thread, and I find it refreshing to read a blokes account of dieting, so hope you don't mind me coming along for the journey. I think your attitude is brill....you seem so laid back, I love it....good luck in the new job, and yep your right most maternity leavers, stay on the books to collect their entitlements (and bl%%dy right too I say ), but when it comes to handing over baby and going back to work, they decide its not worth it (note to any pregnant women, I said Most, not All so don't smack me, I'm generalising for sure ) Well done on your 3lbs loss this week, your already ahead of the game

Cheers for the nice words. Hopefully what you say happens and I'll get kept on and be able to move up to Glasgow, getting rid of the 6.30am starts!

Congrats on shedding 3lbs this week.

I'll shoot you! :P

Congrats Puggs, old buddy old pal! I hope i too can be as successful this Friday coming. However I doubt it considerably, lol. xx

[elle2585]

Cheers, where you been? And how was it?

Cyprus! ...country of origin...excellent place...excellent food...excellent icecream (and frozen yoghurt, which is only 2% fat dontcha know)...lots of family to visit...bit of a tan...didn't want to come back...DIDN'T PUT ANY WEIGHT ON!!

And that is a brief summary of my holiday haha.

I weigh in on fri, simply because I allow myself a bit more on a weekend. I've lost weight so it seems to work well for me

How's work?
xx

I thought the exact same for weekends hence the Friday...so hopefully it works as well for me as it has for you

And awesome stuff on the holiday, going away, having fun and not gaining is superb!

Work is still going well. The structure of doing certain things at certain times 5/7th of the week really helps with the diet and everything. The work is fine too, not complaining yet anyway

[elle2585]

Thanks Yep the structure at work makes things FIFTY times easier. I'm back into the groove now haha. x

Totally agree. I'm on my last break. Will be home at 6 and have my tea.

So far today I have had 2 shakes and 4 crackerbread and cheese spread. I will walk about 3 miles so really will have only had about half the calories I actually ate.

And I have still avoided the scales

well done
