for anyone struggling to make time to get to a gym , a kettlebell is a good investment , very versatile and you can do a fullbody workout while watching eastenders

Welcome and good luck to johnjoe and blakey from the previous page
Think I need to up the exercise, fearful for friday. I would get a kettlebell but I can't stand eastenders, sorry.
Bit disappointed, to be honest. It's slightly better than that as my actual weight this morning was 13-13 & a quarter, but I prefer to work in lbs "rounded up", as it gives me a bit of a free bonus for next week.
Think it was bound to slow down a bit, but exercise has been my problem this week, & I've only walked 3 or 4 times, whereas it should be 14 times (twice per day).
Even so, a decent 3 weeks & overall I'm pleased with progress.
Just gotta stick to it now. It's gonna be a long haul to get to 13st.
I have to see the Dietician next month, as part of my Rehab, & he'll be pleased as I was almost 15 stone when I last saw him in late December.
Climbed on the scales expecting a plateau but actually put 1lb back on. I have definitely missed exercise this week, had some muscle and joint pain and 2 canteen lunches in the past 2 days probably account for the rest (plus the inherent inaccuracy/variance in the weighing process).
Extra long walk planned for today to kickstart the new week and I will have to find a way to skip the canteen!

Very well done to others - onwards and downwards!
Yes, that's a very fair point with a set of domestic scales - or, as EssexPhil amusingly described it, "weighbridge".
Variance & the long term will take care of it though.
Keep going mate, I know how bad it feels when we have a disappointing week on a diet.
Well done Tikay and Phil, another week, another loss.
Don't worry about the pound gain Phantom, there are always going to be weeks like that. I'm a bit concerned myself too as I had a mid week weigh and it wasn't as good as I was expecting. Will be weighing in after work but in the meantime I can confirm that I am still smoke free

That's superb, especially as you are dieting at the same time, which is a tough double act.

Cheers Tikay. I'm certainly keeping the website that I buy my e-liquid from in business anyway. A lot cheaper and healthier than smoking though.
Don't know what sort yet-wife and kids will choose. My only stipulation is that it will be from a charity-probably be a "bitser".
My wife keeps threatening to get ME a cage...
Hey Phil- I'm not serious often BUT.. its got to be a labrador if you can get one!
We've got 4 kids and had 3 labradors when they were growing up and can honestly say that we would trust a lab-pretty much 100% with kids and others......- We now have two rescue dogs, Max n Milly who are lovely but you can never know how they have been ' treated' in the past( Max is half lab anyway so he's a stomach on legs)
Smokes - Still puffing (I will get to this, promise).
Weight - 17st 3 lbs (1 lb off this week, 5 lbs loss since the start of this).
I have not made much effort with the weight to be honest. I am just constantly 'on the go' with the new job which seems to be having a positive impact on the weight.
Only a pound lost this week. Slightly disappointed as I have been strict with the diet, had no alcohol and have been doing Hiit all week. A loss is a loss though. I had gone up to 19st 1lb when I weighed myself on Wednesday, so I'm happy to book the win.
Total loss: 10lbs.
Same again next week lads, we are smashing it so far!

Here's this morning's weigh-in. I seem to weigh the same upside down.
Note I've got three quarters of a lb start for Week 4. Every bit helps in the psychological battle.
Really pleased with that-a stone in 3 weeks. Suspect I'm due a bad week.
Will have to weigh in early next Friday-as off to the Vic to play in a GUKPT. Might be losing pounds on Sky, but fish on a heater elsewhere.
Well done Tony-you have already achieved your target weight. Suggest you set a new target. I plan on being under 19 stone for SPT Manchester.
WP all

Are you feeling any benefit from it yet?
i really really miss cheese....you?
