Hey guys - I am around - going to try and lurk a bit and then post a bit and then lurk some more. I have no time at the moment - leaving for work at 6am, getting back god knows when at night and not even having a second during the day. Should calm down a bit mid-Feb I hope. At least this means that the weekend is the only time I have to eat much!
Sitting at 184lbs as of today. Desperate to get back down to 177 at pre-christmas GOD that felt SO GREAT. I've noticed a bit of tummy roll come back with that extra half a stone so it made a real real difference.
Long term goal - want to be 170lbs in time for my easter holiday and 160lbs by August for my summer holiday. Thinking back to last year, I was 210lbs this time last year, so I lost a maximum of 33lbs, kept off 26lbs.
The main hiccup is the short days make it difficult to get out running - I went for a 5 mile run last weekend which I managed and was amazed I did it as I hadn't run for a couple of months, but the next day, I realised I'd hurt my foot somehow and its been painful to walk on for the last week. So, once that is better, I'm back on the road! Its all excuses though, as I have an exercise bike in my bedroom and abs DVDs that I could do - just got to make the decision and GET STARTED. That's all it is.
I know there's a few of you out there that will demand a Mr X update, so - been texting / emailing a bit since Christmas, spoke on the phone a few weeks ago and he was in a right grumpy mood but has been extra nice to make up for it since. Hopefully meeting him in another month or two to catch up - so got a weight loss incentive right there! I am determined NOT to be heavier than the 177 last time we met and would like to have lost some more weight.
So...aiming to lose at least 3-5lbs per month (I know that doesnt' sound much...but jeepers its hard to do!)
End of Feb - 177

End of April - 170
End of May - 166
