Quickest way to lose 3 stone of ugly, wobbling, useless fat would be decapitation.

Right.

So ends my worst week so far. Don't want to go too much into it but kept finding myself in akward timings so generally what i ate of an evening ended up being the opposite of what i wanted. Still avoided chocolate and crisps and had one can of coke in that time which i only drank because the missus went out and bought me it thinking i wanted one. So yeah, ended up going to Tso's last night as a family meal after a lovely weekend out. Both days to be fair i was very active so it countered what i ate but no consolation.

So what i can take from last week? How easy it is to fall back into old habits, what the effect of lack of exercise can have on you in terms of not budging weight wise, and the fact this is all harder than it seems from the outside. The one good thing i can take from this all is that i don't think i have gained any weight this week, just not lost any either.

So this week i have to get back into it again, 7 weeks til my initial target, 12 weeks until my wedding day now, which i want to be looking good in a suit. if i keep at it with the salads and all the meals at home are healthy enough after shopping, get this initial minimum 4 pounds off, do 3 workouts this week including insanity on friday, and just try and push myself a little bit again. Even if i fall into the eating less than i should category at times, need to get back on track because i am taking those 36 waist pants to scotland with me to wear for the saturday night, entirely up to me if they fit me or not.

Ash if you've got 12 weeks to look good in a suit don't you think you'd better knuckle down a bit?

Batter the exercise and swerve the cans of coke, regardless of who bought it for you.

It was a bad week aye. Just had the knock on effect from one day to the next so at work was eating fine, but getting home all hours made it difficult to cook fresh meals.

I would like to think that i am knuckling down after yesterday. One thing i did maintain like i said was minimal bread/pasta/sugar intake in the process as i don;t want to fall into that trap. I should be getting weighed later on so if the readings come back the same then at least i have not gone backwards. Just not getting hyped for doing tae bo after watching the game tonight lol

Get on the exercise bike or treadmill whilst the game is on.

Getting home all hours is no excuse and you know it, it takes no time at all to knock a meal up.

But on a positive note, absolutely masses he can achieve in 12 weeks. You can do a beginner training programme for a half-marathon in that time, for example.

Get the eating habits back on track and he could do close to a stone in that time

Aye - can't disagree with that. I had little time on Friday so chopped up some red peppers, red onions, courgettes, garlic and carrots, fried them in up in a tablespoon of olive oil, put them to one side, whipped up three eggs made an omelette then stuck the veggies inside and all done inside of ten minutes.

Tonight - buying some chicken breast and making similar (peppers, onions, cougettes, garlic) in an Asian marinade (hoi sin, soy and fish sauce, sesame oil, 5 spice) then filling lettuce leaves with it instead of having carbs such as tortillas or rice.

Easy, inexpensive and incredibly tasty.

I had my first night of beers in a month on Friday night (5 pints), but played an hour's football before hand and was out in a adult's fun park for 4 hours Saturday (slides, running up and down things, trampolines etc) and 30 mins jogging Sunday, so don't feel too bad about it.

Agreed, but it seems he isn't that serious about it was my point

If you want to give yourself a massive boost and shed some serious weight in a week, then do the cabbage soup diet.

You can lose up to 10lbs in a week on that bad boy, and I have done in the past, so I know it works.

It's not a sustainable diet, but for 1 week it's doable and the results are great.

Do you end up in a persistent vegetative state?
