I have managed to lose 1 whole pound. What an effort.
It isn't all bad as allegedly my body fat % has reduced by 1.1% as well, but for all I know the scales are just guessing at that.
If I am honest I didn't really do much to encourage weight loss. I ate the usual stuff including the remaining tubs of quality street and aside from getting a call to fill in for my friends 6 a side team on Monday night I didn't manage any exercise.
By the way not playing football for 6 months has taken me from a distinctly average footballer to an utterly hopeless one. I felt like I didn't know what I was doing a lot of the time.
Not drunk any alcohol since NYE so it isn't all bad, though I may be tempted to have a beer or two tonight whilst watching the football. I have spin class at midday today so hopefully earn a couple and not do too much damage.
Must try harder this week. Hopefully shed a little more than 1lb.
No booze-do this every year and normally lose 5-6lbs Health(ier) eating- Late brunch, early dinner- so 2 not 3 meals a day and 'try' to reduce snacking and no caffeine after 15:00 Walk dogs more

Today 14st 8lb 8 oz
FFS!
Oh do be serious Prof - even @Sky_SamT lost a lb. A whole lb. That's about 2ozs per day.
Gill was here from the Friday to the Tuesday, & we both like to eat bad food, but I kept it real.
On the exercise front I managed 17 of the scheduled 21 (3 per day) walks, which helped enormously. Not so much when I came a proper tumble after stubbing my toe on a tree root & falling flat on my face. Felt a proper Charlie. Bruises, grazes & damaged ego apart, no real damage.
The first 7lbs is easy of course, it gets tougher now, & if I shed 2lbs this week I think I'd settle for that.
13st 7bs by SPT Manchester remains the near-term target.

Gonna have to check my scales...or my portions sizes...one or tother
Not a great start, but seeing it recorded will hopefully encourage me more in the coming weeks. Purchased some nicorette gum this morning, which will reduce the weekly total. Will also get some spray at w/end, which I am told is very good.

Not easy to update when the week does not go as well as you'd hoped, though @Sky_SamT managed it I suppose, so well done for being honest & open about it.
From bitter experience, trying to cut down on ciggies is harder than giving up totally.
Honestly, try this book Alan - I'll be extremely surprised if it does not help you enormously. Really.

You can take the lead weights out of those other socks now
Last week = 14’1 1/4.
This week = 13’12 1/4.
A good start bearing in mind last weekend included 8 Guiness, 6 Blonde, an Indian and a Chinese.
Good work, solid start, hope you keep it going.

Week 2, weight - 14 2
Last week I was sure it was the new washing machine that had been shrinking my t shirts!
Alan, defo worth checking out Alan Carrs book, it's all very subliminal where you won't want to have another smoke!
Well done on all on the losses this week.
Cheers @Tikay10 , I will look at getting that book.
How did you manage to lose so many pounds? Don't normally open your wallet that wide??
That's 8 times more than @Sky_SamT.
