11 Stone 4 Pounds

I was pleasantly surprised by the read-out on the scales this morning. I must confess to being very naughty over the last two days. It started on Monday evening when I suggested we had a well earned treat for our Evening meal. We first thought of the Indian buffet, but we'd done that last week so decided to go all out and have KFC!

Paul drove round and collected our usual, a Variety Bucket containing 4 pieces on the bone, 4 breast strips, 4 bags of fries and a small popcorn chicken. In the time it took him to return from the drive-thru, I had opened and heated a tin of baked beans to go on the side.

What's that I hear you gasp, “That’s too much food for two people?" Well, yes it is, I'll grant you that. In fact, it lasts us 2 meals, we ate our fill on Monday and then finished off the remainder on Tuesday evening :-)

Considering this, you'll see why I'm pleased not to have gained any weight, never mind hoping to have lost any!

You can see here that I've made amends tonight, here's my evening meal, Lime and Coriander Salmon on a bed of Potato cakes with a drizzle of tomato olive oil and a grinding od chilli and garlic.

Lets see what that does for my waistline :-)

11 Stone 4 Pounds

I'm in something of a connundrum!

According to the scales this morning I was 11 stone 3, then a few hours later the Wii-fit said 11 Stone 2 pounds. I checked myself on the scale again a few minutes ago and it said 11 Stone 4 Pounds, so I'm going with that.

The time of day seems to have a big effect on weight, maybe I need to have a big wee before I jump on the scales :-)

A very small treat :-)

When I bought the multipack of Weightwatchers Hot Chilli Tortilla chips, I marvelled at the fact that each bag was only 1 "point" or 77 calories.

"How on earth could this be," I thought. Look at them, dont they look wonderful?

Look closer.



Yes thats right, you've spotted it, thats how they keep the points and calories down.

They only put 10 in each bag!

11 Stone 5 Pounds

I've been pretty lazy about keeping up this here record of my weight loss attempts. Sorry abut that, I'd like to say it wont happen again, it probably will though, so lets just leave it at that :-)

So we got back from holiday without having ballooned out of control and I've been trying to be good since. As you can see, nothing much is moving, I'm now 11'5. I do feel thinner, like I've lost inches not weight, can that happen?

We got a Wii Fit in the week and have been having great fun with games and workouts on that. Maybe that will help get me moving, according to the trainer my ideal weight should be 10 Stone and a BMI of 22.

Check back soon(ish) for more updates :-)
