03 March -
My expectation for Saturday pretty much followed through. I ate at 1pm - a meal though - and didn't again until Sunday morning. This makes alcohol consumption dodgy, I don't eat much as it is so struggle to control my liquor but by the time Sum 41 came on stage I was quite drunk. I managed to lose the family camera also
....could say at weigh-in this week I am 60 pound down but that's me being a funny bugger
But aye, pushed my wee self right up to the front and got some good pictures using my phone instead, ie
Great night if I do say so. Yesterday involved walking in town - while still drunk I may add - looking for a camera. Not got one yet but will have to soon before the family take me out back like old yella!
So as my weigh-in thread shows, 4lbs down
This took my off-guard as I have been keeping track of my weight over the last two weeks and it has went all over the place, today being the lowest I had seen it.
In all the excitement and happiness I then checked my ticker after updating it and noticed it said 29lb had been lost. Now, although being an accountancy student, maths is not my strong point. After a double-take I realised I had gone beyond the 2 stone loss since starting the shake diet.
Now a very happy chappy! And if I play my cards right next week I could hit 3 and a half stone total loss from my heaviest!
So you will see a new ticker down below you. The rumour is the Paramore gig I was meant to be going to in late February will now be held on 28th May. That is almost 3 months away. My aim for then is to loss another 2 stone. This would place my BMI into simply "overweight" and not too far off being normal. During this time I will have studied for and sat my final set of uni exams so reckon this goal to achieve will be a good thing. Hopefully this is more realistic than the last one!

Now the following I like,
The first picture was taken mid January, when the diet was really kicking in. The other was done this morning.
To keep it the same, I have kept my shirt off for both...just a warning in advance if you never saw the last picture, I'm a tad hairy!
When I bought the jacket it barely fitted me

4 March - Hallowed By Thy Name
Not too much to report on lately. Didn't stay in uni today so didn't have to make my meals in advance, just had my tea when I got home. Totally in love with snack-o-jacks popcorn. The salted and salt and vinegar are both under 50 calories
My wee brother gave me an old jacket of his, and I'm really liking how it looks on me. Walk a little taller - which believe me I need - with it on.
....not much else to say really, just checking in more than anything.

6 March - Again, not much to say
Struggling to say anything lately on this. It all just feels quite routine now so reporting on it just feels like a waste of time. Not in a way where I don't want to type anything up. More just the "had shake, had tea" etc etc can get a bit samey.
Uni work is starting to pile up and get to me. Not in a bad way, just more that it is always on my mind. I need to get a good bit of my dissertation done this week as next week I need to work on another bit of coursework which is due. So today, tomorrow - including night, Saturday and Sunday will be dissertation hardcore! By then I hope to have the thing almost done with templates around my interview areas which can basically be altered once they are carried out.
Wont be much fun to talk to this weekend but I guess in the long run it is for the best.
Not has the best eating week either, I'm not one for excuses so not going to blame the uni work for it...I did get through my exams fine. Think I just have been taking my eye of the goal which needs to change now. Hopefully not done too much damage, we will see come Monday. As long as I don't gain I will be quite happy but from now until Monday I will be eating quite little to make up for what has already happened.
And now...to the books

I've done it again. I don't know how it is possible but I have gotten through today on a bowl of cereal, 2 packets of snack-a-jack popcorn (50 cals a bag <3 ) and a lot of diet fizzy juice. And I am not too hungry.
Basically on the last two Fridays I have went to uni for a class between 11 and 1 and then stayed until quarter past 6. Last week I didn't even have my shake - I am not keen on whipping out the diet shakes in front of friends - but this week enjoyed it on the bus down the road. For some reason there is no real over-whelming hunger problems on these days. I don't take enough money with me to eat but if wanted to could easily go to the bank machine.
5+ hours I spent in front of a computer typing and drinking. It gets stuff done when your trying not to eat I'll give myself that. The dissertation is coming together finally. Due in 4 weeks today but I have to devote next week to another coureswork which was nicely decided to be due 4 days before the dissertation!!!
Tomorrow I go to a mates to watch Gillette Soccer Saturday (proof I am male!) so will manage to go from between about 2pm and 7pm not eating. If I don't eat anything until leaving the house it could be good.
I don't think it is healthy eating more than usual (I don't mean more than a normal person btw, just more than someone dieting should...I bet I am still less than the recommended calories for an average male) for about half the week then dropping to very little for the remainder but I have only put on once since starting this diet and I really do hate that feeling. It feels like you have wasted about three weeks in the process.
Next week I will attempt to balance it all a bit better but with uni battering my brain at the moment it is all becoming a bit of a struggle.
Who knows eh?
Additional - New Challenge
Since my wee brother has dropped a lot of weight he has handed me a lot of his clothes. Seriously, the jacket he gave me feels like it was made for me. Love it.
Anyway you lovely readers of mine (don't feel scared to comment btw) will know by suit jacket pictures. Well he has given me an old suit jacket of his that is too big for him. It is too small for me but not by far. I am going to keep a progress report on me getting into that jacket comfortably!!! That will be good evidence of myself getting smaller

So what can you do when you have had a bad week up until the last two days, wake up on Sunday and know: you really can't eat much, that dissertation work you said you would do doesn't look at appealing, you have a new podcast you have found you want to listen to and go through the back-log of episodes?
You go for a walk of course!!!!!
All in I walked about 10 miles in 4 hours, which is much slower than usual for me. Could get it done in three but I did go exploring at some points and saw some things I hadn't before in my town. Also was getting slower further I went as the lack of energy from running on an empty tank was not helping. Can of diet kick at tesco helped that but was still a struggle home.
Came in, played the N64 (I got a scart cable hook-up off ebay this week so can play it in my own room), done reading for uni and played my pipes. It is now 9pm and I have had about 8 crackerbreads (call it 35 cals each once things are on it), 2 cans of kick (5 calories each) and a lot of diet juice (pushing 10 calories at the max). I should probably make something to eat but I still don't feel overly hungry. Even typing this now usually makes me a wee bit.
I may have some soup.
One thing I have found great to stop night-hunger is sleeping pills. I got these last week from Tesco (where I get everything...you may have noticed). It's tesco's own, traditional herbal remedy. Smell fowl! I don't even know if they actually do anything or it is a placebo but I have dropped off to sleep quite quickly every night this week. That cuts out the risk of late night munching. So I may just whack a couple of them down me and go to bed.
Still be happy tomorrow if I am the same weight as last week.

2lb on. Not the end of the world but annoying nonetheless. It's only the second time I have put on but at least I know 2lb can be changed simply by losing 3lb next week...see, told you I was good at maths! But what I mean is I may not completely lose an entire 2 weeks this time trying to get back to where I started. I can weight in next week and be the lightest I have been.
That will spur me on

it's not easy. It never will be. There will be weeks when we don't lose an it can be seriously discouraging. But - on the plus side - if you haven't over eaten by 6500 cal - then it's not fat ! It could be extra water retention casue of the walking....
Have hug - it's blooming hard when you try hard and don't lose.
We're rooting for you :chin-up:

Thanks Sarah. I knew it would happen now and then, to be fair I half expected it anyway. Got to take the unexpectedly good weeks with the expected poor ones. 2lb on really does not affect me, I know I will get it shifted. If it adds an extra week on to the time it takes then so be it, I can live with that.
Cheers Cat
Basically same reply to yous as to Sarah above.Well done on your loss again

10 March - 2 in a day...you lucky people
So here is the new thing I want to try...and I await your replies of "don't be so moronic".
But every Friday I get through a long day at uni and go about 9 hours not eating with no great difficult. Well tomorrow I will be leaving the house at about 7:15am and wont be getting back in until about 10pm.
Instead of my usual making a meal I have went a bit different. I will take with me;
1x shake
2x Snack-a-Jack poporn.
1x the larger tesco ready Sushi.
At uni I will buy a 2 litre of diet fizzy juice to get through the day. I will have a lot of mates in doing work so wont be whipping out the shake until en route to pipe band at about half 6 in the evening. I honestly think the popcorn and sushi will do me for the rest of the day. By the time I get in I will be shattered anyway so will probably just have a shake and bed.
That will cut right back my calories for the day, I will have very little money on me after buying the 2 litre juice so can't run down to the canteen.
Expect an entry at about 6pm tomorrow night of me lamenting what a stupid idiot I have been and that I am starving etc etc.
But at the end of the day...if I don't try I will never know.
Best add while I am here;
Today has been very good. Very focussed and feel good. Cut out breakfast once more as a means of chipping off calories and getting to a new set routine of sorts. Hopefully the change will keep my body guessing as it felt like now it was really routine. So we shall see what happens!
