You definitely do get a bit of a buzz from exercising. I do a bit of running/cycling, and getting back afterwards you feel proper energised.
i defenitly get that after a workout in the house yeah. Makes it even better that it is usually like 11pm when i do it haha

but yeah, just trying to get out and be active i can get that from not being active, like my body is telling me to get up and go out.

Shouldn't really be doing heavy exercise that late, mate.

i know but normally the only time i get chance. So start at between 9 -10 and finish round 11.

Don't really get the chance otherwise to go ahead and do it, which then would be me making excuses why i can't exercise. Which i don't really want to be doing.

Calf raises lad.

Put your toes and the front ball of your foot on the edge of a step. Lower your heel below the step height and then move up to your tiptoes.

Just do more on your gammy leg than the other one.

Weigh in this week.

lost 2 and a half pounds.

Fantastic, means i know i have to exercise during the week now. but where i am 15.6 now (started around 18 remember) if i can achieve that 4 pounds a week then i could be as low as 14 by november, and then after that anything that takes me closer to 13 will be a bonus for the wedding.

First of all, congratulations with your weight loss!

I admit to have skimmed the entire topic, since it is quite lengthy so maybe some of my suggestions/conclusions are incorrect. If so I apologize.

It seems to me that you're losing weight but maybe you aren't really having a healthy start.

Regarding your food. I would really skip everything which contains the word Subway or such, unless you want to travel using the metro. It's really not very good for you.

An easy way to procure healthy food is just take-away from healthy/vegetarian restaurants. I do it most of the week. For example: I don't eat breakfast. I usually order soup for lunch, supplemented with fruit/vegetable salad. For dinner I order the normal sized take-away dish (things like this http://www.deappelier.be/nieuw/gallery/zomer-2014/). This sets me back approximately 12 € or such. From time to time I add shrimp or such to the meals; when I notice that I lack certain nutrients.

If you want a cooking book with healthy food. I recommend Veg from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. You can add meat if you want.

I also read you do Insanity once a week. Did you have a medical check-up before starting that? Because of the difficulty level, some people end up in difficulties. You dying would be most unfortunate. I didn't really catch if you exercised every day, if not the program works much better if you follow the schedule. I'd recommend switching to something easy, but also effective, like the 30 day shred or such from Jillian Michaels. I think you would be more inclined to doing that every day, since it's actually only 24 minutes. A friend of mine did it; very good results. If you want more afterwards you can do Body Revolution or such. If my memory serves me correctly you can find it on Youtube. She ordered it though because you get 2 T-Shirt's; the first one contains the message "Train like a beast look like a beauty (http://picture-cdn.wheretoget.it/lnrosq-l.jpg) ", the second one "Unless you puke, faint or die, keep going".

Good work, but don't be surprised and/or put off if you start to plateau at some point, it falls off you in the beginning then gets harder and harder to lose. I'm trying to go from 14% body fat to 10% or lower, and its not a quick process by any means because my body isnt all that keen to get rid of much more.

Keep it up lid.
