Day number 9 in the books - and things are going great. I really feel satisfied each day with the foods that I am eating and never feel hungry. My mood, and overall feeling has defo changed for the positive and life is looking a lot brighter at the moment.

Done another 19kms on the bike tonight just after eating the chicken and bread and my energy levels had soared - felt like I could have done another 10kms! - but I just want to ease myself into things slowly.

Im going to try and book a game of badminton this weekend for an hour and my mate has also said that we should do a 5km run in a few months time.

I would have talked about doing a run in the past, but never done it - but now I am actually going to do these things instead of just talking about them!

:cheers2:

My food plan is easy for me to follow and stick to. This has been the biggest factor for me so far. There is no gimmick that you have to follow - it makes things so much easier!

TBH my posts are pretty boring now - more or less just my food intake for the day. I also track all this on a spreadsheet for me to follow.

To save posting my food each day, I will now just post on my weigh in day on a Wednesday. Will post my food and updated weight each week.

I will also post in between to give updates on anything interesting that has been happening.
 
Well week two is over and I lost some more weight ... but only a 1lbs loss!

Gotta say I am happy that I have lost weight, but a little disappointed that it is only a pound as I stuck to my healthy food and done over 100kms of cycling on the stationary bike this week!

I think it might be my body adjusting as I lost 7lbs last week?!? - but I will move onto week 3, and continue what I have been doing! :)

SW: 295lbs (29/12/10)
CW: 287lbs (12/01/11)
Total Lost: 8lbs
