Thank you for your very encouraging feedback. Just the right words to get me into the holiday mood. ;-)

I'm sure you'll look great. It took me almost 3 years. Started losing weight in March 2009. Slow, but steady and never on a diet. Healthy eating and exercise as well as a weekly treat day (in moderation) were in short my secrets to success. Also the motivation from God, church, family, friends, colleagues and this forum made a huge difference.

I'm here if you need any help on the way. Not sure how much advice I can give as each body is the body of an individual and no healthy eating regime works the same for everyone.

Only thing I'd like to advise is this: "If you fall, get up immediately and keep going! Self pity is deadly for losing weight. You can't afford it!"

Self pity is deadly

Amen!

Just come across your diary Tom, amazing stuff, well done!

I know, I know... I never used to weigh myself twice a day and shouldn't start now. But my parents have scales and I'm on holiday at their place. So I gave into the temptation.

And oh my life! I'll stop doing that now. Fluctuations of up to 3 kg in the last 4 days. Crazy. But I remain about 2 pounds above my last weigh in so far... Grrrrrr!

Well it is Christmas.... (&@###!!!)

 

[Tom_River]

No official weigh in until next week. Scale at my parents' says I've gained 6 pounds since Wednesday last week! I'd think that's impossible... I had treats in moderation and exercised intensely 3 times within the last week. :-(

But as soon as I'm home it'll be a damage control week... See what next week's weigh in brings.

I'm still 3 lbs below my original target. But wanted to correct it down originally.

I refuse to be disheartened!

You will be reducing your target once you're home, Tom. You just don't know it yet

Hope you enjoyed that 1/2 xx

Protein rich healthy breakfast of oats (HE) and fat free Quark. Off to the gym now.

Looking forward to smashing last workout of 2011.

 

[Tom_River]

Smashed it. Proud of myself that I didn't leave my next gym visit until the new year. ;-)





On my way to losing that Christmas gain and an additional 3 lbs, bringing me to 196 lbs.

 

[Tom_River]

My morning snacks today:




Going to mix a bit of Splenda to both and voila, perfect! Syn free, speed food in the fruit and good source of protein in the Greek yoghurt...

 

[Tom_River]

Should have taken lunch from home. Only grease paradise in canteen. :-(

 

[Tom_River]

Had 3 Vanilla Muller Lights with warmed up rhubarb.

3 bananas in the afternoon. Lots of water and Pepsi Max

 

[Tom_River]

Almost syn free shopping. Müller Light yogurts on offer at Morrison's. 10 for £2!

[L.i.n.d.a]

Peace and health and a wondrous 2012 to you and yours too...Namaste*

 

[Tom_River]

Appears like I've lost 3 pounds of my Christmas gain already... But saying that, it is late morning. Could be different tonight. But I won't weigh until Wednesday now.

 

[aesir22]

Well done dude, and happy new year.

I have my weigh in tonight to see how much damage xmas has done. Am veeeeery nervous as scales at work say gained 10lbs. Can't possibly be right - stepping on them was a moment of weakness lol. Starting karate and kobudo this week so hopefully will improve my fitness level a little more!

Thats a cracking muller offer at Morrisons! Might have to pop through! Well done on the loss of 3lbs!
