Hi, Welcome to my Food Diary.... I have set myself a Challenge of losing Six Stone in Six Months. Why?? Well today I have started a six month 'Acting Up' position at work & I've just signed back up to Slimming World & would like to lose another Six Stone!!! So Six seams like a perfect...

Thank You Bin, Hope you've had a Great Christmas & a good new year!! My weight has taken a beating though, lots & lots of lb's on :-(!! Getting all the bad food out of the way & getting back on it!! Got targets for this year & I have two motivational words/phrases to get me to where I want...

Hi Bin, Sounds like you've had a great but emotional time in Australia, I'm not jealous at all, OK just a little bit. My Diet, Training & Focus disappeared on that windy day in October. 1st 10lb on, clothes not fitting, went for a 3 mile run & had to stop 5 times when I usually do it in one...

Cazza, I can't reply to your message coz your PM box is full!! Gav

Well the words...."Fallen Off The Wagon" is where I'm at!! 16lb on in 2 weeks & I'm struggling to halt the slide.... A fresh start is require (none of this well I'm still at 5st, etc), A plan is required (Back to basic's) & I need to focus on what motivated me originally!! It may take a week...

Morning Cazza, Thank You.... About being a pig....I have put on 11lb since last Sunday!!!! Huge Fried Breakfasts, Sausage Rolls/Pies/Pasties for lunch & 5 Course Dinners washed down with so much Alcohol I feel like I'm drowning.....:D I'm not far away from 22's and 1.5st away from my lowest...

Morning Bin, Thank You & Congratulations to you too. My emotion crossing the finishing line was a bit of is that it, ouch I'm in pain & Yes I've done it!! I was glad to finish which I didn't think I could a few weeks ago, but I felt a bit gutted that I couldn't run the last 2 miles. I'm...

Thank You & lol NO!! ;-) I may target London in 2017 but targeting another GSR next year followed by a few half marathons!! I will see how I progress over the next year or two....:D

Evening Bin, Hope the rest of your run went well we struggled around for a time of 2hrs 23mins.... How did you do?? We could just about walk the last 2 miles let alone run!! It was nice that you spotted me as I can now put a face to the name. I would have struggled spotting you as I was in a...

Thank You :-)!!

I did it in 2hrs 23mins & 30secs.... I could just about walk the last 2 miles let alone run!! I was on for 2hr 5min - 2hr 10min until I turned onto the seafront...:-( I was in lots of pain though....more training for next year!'

Thank You!!

Morning, If I was you I'd go straight to fishbourne coz at best it's going to be 25-45mph winds & the Hovercraft won't go in that!! We have an if Raining & an if not Raining plan for our spectators. I have been informed that I am one of only two people running for the Sick Children's Trust...

Evening Bin, Sounds like things have come together for you as well!! I have many different forecasts, some saying rain but the most detailed one is saying sun between 9-12 & sun with cloud between 12-3 but rain for the rest of the day!! Our family have booked a room at the Queens so will have...

A week today I shall be moving my rather large frame around a 10 mile course known as the Great South Run.... I am running for the Charity "The Sick Children's Trust" who provide accommodation for the family of seriously ill children who are in Hospital long term.... This charity helped my...

Evening, Not been on for a while as been busy & not 100% on Diet.... Had my birthday last Wednesday & it's all gone down hill from there.... Cazza, I'm glad your back on it. Just take each day as it comes & make small targets. 3st by Xmas is a big ask!! How is the gallbladder? Bin, Hope...

Evening, Sorry I've been away for a while feeling sorry for myself & eating crap!! Did a few training sessions but ate the calories burned & more.... As for the GSR I'm looking to run as far as I can then walk the rest....;-)!! Bin, hope WI & run's have been going well. Cazza, hope...

You can't run the GSR (because you could only manage 1.5 miles last week) - The Physio said You can't defer your place (Use it or lose it) - Great Run Said Fill up with painkillers & run until you can't then walk the rest - My heart says What do I do??? Well I started by losing 5.5lb of the...

Hi Cazza, Thank You.... I'm sorry to hear your still suffering I more ways than one!! I hope they get to the bottom of your problem & soon. Is that hospital a specialist? Might be an idea to speak to Dr about how your feeling....:-( I've been at a low point several times in my life &...

Morning Bin, Well my Diet was going well until yesterday & it went bang big style, so no Diary as the Syn's would have been a months worth!! Scrap yesterday, so it's now a 6 day week.... As for supporting those up the road, we'll just stick to talking about SW & GSR and not football, that's...

Hi Bin, Yes I'm a Portsmouth Fc fan as I've worked at the club on match days for 14 years so you can't help but support them.... My first team was Liverpool Fc but can't get to many games, so I follow them from afar.... Glad your calf seemed ok, sounds a bit like mine really as I had no...

Evening Bin, Mmmmm those calf supports didn't do the trick, my calf's felt better but they still went tight!! Booked an appointment with Gary Sadler ex-Pompey Physio on Monday to see what can be done.... Glad all of the moving is complete & hope you get back on the diet/training soon...

Morning, Been to see a running specialist friend who's been on many courses regarding running injuries. He put me through some stretches & has advised me not to do any running, jumping or weightlifting exercises for 2-3 weeks but I can do Rowing & Cycling starting from next weekend. I've...

Don't worry, I am of the sensitive nature.... When you start training don't over do it as you'll be where I am.... I am really worried as the muscle feels swollen today & that's a sign of a grade 2 tear which is 2-3 months....

She think's I may have a minimum of grade 1 tear which is 4-6 weeks but if it's a grade 2 tear then it's 2-3 months.... I could run through the current pain but it would increase the grade of the tear.... I am going to have 3.5 weeks rest, then a power walk session then if ok a 3 mile run &...

Attempted a short run this morning & my calf was having none of it.... Went to the PT who also does limited Physio & explained my situation.... She looked in her injury book &.... I have to rest from all physical activity for 4-6 weeks!!!! Yes my participation is in jeopardy :-(!!

I really don't know what to say other than I shouldn't have read it at work. Upsetting just reading about it, I couldn't even guess what it felt like going through it. I'm sure your Mum will be with you every step of the way!!

Afternoon Bin, I am still suffering with my calf & not done any running for over a week.... I have done Crossfit & some rowing and hoping to be back running this weekend.... Diet has gone wrong again today, really not feeling it!! Sounds like you have a lot on.... I am starting to get...

There's a lady called "Weight Loss *****" who blogs I follow her in Twitter & Facebook.... I think she has just been paid for an article but she's coming down from around late 30/early 40 stone mark.... She's lost about 14st so far!! You'll have to point me to where you blog.... As for your...

I've done a normal Crossfit class & it's a high intensity mix of weights & cardio. The class I did was in 2 parts. The first was 10 shoulder press's followed by 10 Russian Kettlebell swings, every minute on the minute for 10 minutes. Then we did the workout of the day which was 400m Row (coz...

Hi Cazza, I hope your Gallbladder settles soon!! And we'll done on the 17lb loss.... I'm going to a Crossfit Endurance class tomorrow to try & kickstart the next 5 weeks.... If your interested then look up "Crossfit Southern Legion" on Facebook.... The class is free and is running...

Good Morning, Been off line for a while feeling sorry for myself as I still have a calf strain, oh & I've added pulled muscles in my shoulders to that thanks to crossfit!! My eating has also been poor meaning I've put on a lb last week & this week also not looking to good!! So with 5 weeks to...

Good Morning Bin.... I lost 4.5lb on Monday but everything has gone downhill since then.... Training stopped as I have a tight calf, eating is well 100% off plan & motivation is at Zero!!!! Other than that I'm good lol.... I keep getting the Facebook updates & I'm starting to get excited...

Daz, With all due respect mate, when Texty set up these challenges everyone selected their monthly targets based on the amount of WI's during that month.... SW do the slimmer of the month based on official WI's, we do our challenge's based on official WI's.... Sorry, but that's the way it...

Hi bin59, Thank You for your post.... I am running for the "Sick Children's Trust" who provide free accommodation to family's of children in hospital.... My brother & sister in-law used their facilities at Leeds hospital when my nephew was ill. They provided 6 months of accommodation for free...

Thank You....

Evening All, Should have posted yesterday but was busy having my celebratory family meal.... I have eventually got the job I have been trying for 3 years to get.... I had a blow out week to celebrate & yes it didn't go well on the scales.... 5lb on, but back to the gym this morning & back on...

Good, glad you now have company!! Have a good rest of your Holiday....

Have they come out???? I'd be absolutely fuming!!!! Alcudia is the quiet area, Magaluf & Palma Nova are much busier.... But they are "Clubbing" area's and Alcudia is targeted at families.... Hope you had a great day at the water park.... I put on 6lb last night back to the Gym this morning &...

Where in Majorca are you? My 5yo does my back on occasions but I use factor 50 (blue spray) so she can see what's covered.... T-shirt is always a must for a day at the waterpark & factor 50 applied every hour on the hour!! You should have waited till your friends come over before doing the...

My excuse is I've had the outlaws staying with us for 10 days!!!! Yep never been in the Wedge, I was into clubs & parties more than bands.... I am at 21st from 28st and still want to lose 4-5 stone. Which I am struggling to do!! I've had a bad week celebrating my new job & went out for a...

Well Done, coming off nicely!! :D

Sounds like grading was a good hot workout....lol Nope, I have never been in the Wedgewood Rooms surprisingly.... Sounds like you had a good night though!! I don't know a man & van I'm afraid but at work I've used a company called "Van & Man" removals. They charge by the hour & cost £40 per...

Back Spinning this morning.... God it hurt but I loved it!! Feeling even better coz I had the result of my interview today.... I didn't get any of the permanent jobs but I have been given a secondment opportunity to prove I can do the job!! ;-) I bit of celebrating tonight with a chow mein...

Nice quiet chilled out week then ;-)!! Need to be good today & tomorrow and I shouldn't be to far away from losing what I'd put on....

My first run back yesterday, very hard, very hot but done.... Another run tomorrow morning & WI tomorrow evening ?!! I hope lots have come off!!!

Yeah not many blokes on here & not many at my group either.... I do find binge weight easy to lose but that's my problem.... I struggle to get 2/3 good weeks coz of the ease of losing it the week after.... Need 12 good weeks starting Monday!!

Thank You ladies, it has been expected for some time.... As for the diet I needed the blow out & the bad feelings that came with it, just to get me back on track.... I'm really hoping for a good August!!

I think bad news of that magnitude is going to be coming our way very shortly, my wife's grandad is not well....?!! I had no intention of being good so it's not a surprise to me. I have 13 weeks until I run the Great South Run so got to get back on it & quick. Hope your back on track today!!

Went to Butlins for a family weekend, half board.... 3 high fat, full english fried breakfast's & 3 five course dinner's with snacks and alcohol.... Yes I enjoyed it but my body hated it, couldn't cope with all the fatty foods & alcohol.... Had a little jump on scales this morning & not...

Oh Dear, Oh Dear.... A weekend away & 14.5lb ON ooopppsss!! It was a good weekend but now I have more to lose to get to where I want to be for the Great South Run.... And to top it off I now have gout in my left foot, so no exercise until it goes.... 12 hard weeks ahead!!
