And 16 times more than I managed so clearly I’m not worthy...well done for your determination! I ma6 as well go back to beer,wine and crisps..I might lose more weight! GL for this next week guys
A good start bearing in mind last weekend included 8 Guiness, 6 Blonde, an Indian and a Chinese.

Don't wish to know either the ethnicity of hair colour of all of your lady friends, thank you.....
6 Blonde ladies, an Indian lady and a Chinese lady. That would of been some weekend and all that exercise would of lead to more that a 3lb weight loss.
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.

With 2 parents; both smokers most of their life, mum with emfiseeema I wish you luck- just cutting down would be a great achievement...

Good luck - you should see your GP as the NHS provides free stop smoking services - think they will prescribe you patches/spray or tablets as well as offering counselling and local support groups. Think this would give you a much better chance of success, plus it’s free!

Slightly better week, and hopefully heading in the right direction. The main 'problem' areas are... 1) The morning commute cigarette (or two ) while driving to work. I blame the A500 being a stressful road (Tikay knows this stretch of tarmac well). 2) Went out Saturday & Thursday night, and can see on social evenings, I will have to make more of an effort to cut down.
I will also start using the gum more.
I also purchased some spray. However, I had a smoke while stressing out trying to get into all the plastic wrapping & then it didnt seem to work #fail
Given the fact I went UP after week 1..not unhappy
The plan was a lifestyle change for gradual weight loss so gradual is certainly the order of the day....god knows what happens when I start drinking again at the Manc SPT...

Start weight 15st 9lbs
Week 1 15st 7lbs
Think your target was 14st, so you are almost 10% of the way there already.
Last week: 18-10
This week: 18-09
At least it is going in the right direction.
GL all
Week 1 - 14'1 and a 1/4
Week 2 - 13'12 and a 1/4.
Week 3 - 13'8 and 3/4.
Calorie Counting is the future.
Sticking to under 1,820 calories a day Mon to Friday and then not counting on a weekend whilst still not going silly.
Good work by @EssexPhil, who did a Sam.
@68Trebor
3.5lbs, what a star.
That might be this week's best performance.
Disaster struck this morning.
Despite weighing myself 37 times, hoping to get a better reading, this was the result;
So after what I thought was a great week, & even allowing for the fact that weight-loss tapers, I only managed a Sam & a half.
That's Karma, right there, as I gave Sam a hard time.
Still, we've yet to see his weigh-in, so I might get away with it.
Starting weight - 14st 5.5lbs
After 1 week - 13st 12lbs
After 2 weeks - 13st 10.5lbs
= 9.5lbs loss.
Short term target remains 13-7 by SPT Manchester.
Fri 4/5/10 = 19
Sat 0/3/18 = 21
Sun 2/5/7 = 14
Mon 2/4/10 = 16
Tue 2/3/8 = 13
Wed 2/3/8 = 13
Thu 3/5/12 = 20
Total = 116

Good progress @MAXALLY on the smokes, well done.
Each to their own I guess, but cutting down bit by bit must be torture, & is surely the hardest possible way to quit?
Cutting down as such never works - it has to be all or nothing.
I still believe that reading the Alan Carr book will insta change your mentality as to smoking. It probably costs less than 2 packs of ciggies.
Postpone it until after this though, tomorrow. You might need a smoke during that.
Stoke City v Leeds United, 3pm
The Leeds boss stated he has 'spied' on every club in the league.
.......he hasn't bothered with Stoke though.
Start weight 14st 8lb
Today 14st 5lb
