fair enough mate, just there are drinks other than water that you can have with near zero calories

true but it is like drugs in a way, one is a gateway to another.
so you have juice, then fruit juice, then oasis, then the odd diet coke and so on and so forth.
sounds silly i know but i just want to stick to certain things, namely water and green tea. Just means i know i'm drinking well, with only the odd cup of coffee at a weekend (actually have no coffee at all until i get paid)
Stop over analysing everything you loon.
Next thing you'll be wearing a hair shirt and thrashing yourself with birch twigs.
Pretty much this - eat less, eat better and take exercise.

week so far, being having the home made salads for lunch. Monday ended up getting a burger for tea, last night was tuna pasta home made.
tonight probably fish in butter sauce with mash and veg i would imagine.
exercise wise, admittedly i put it off monday then last night other half and son are ill so they watched a movie downstairs wrapped up in quilts so actually fell asleep myself before i could do anything. Hopefully get chance tonight to do something.

I force myself to get up before work around 6am ish, to go for a quick run - 3 times a week. I prefer that then after a long day at work. Could you possibly exercise before work - even if its just a 30 min walk?

My other half does that, often gets up at 5 and goes for a run.
I called her an effing lunatic and roll over.
The thought of it ffs....aaarrggh.

I tried that a few weeks ago. My plan was to get up at 6 and do a yoga session before i got ready for work but it couldnt keep it up. I did try but found it harder to get up at that time
I wouldn't class myself as a morning person as well, so it does take a lot of will power. You do wonder what the hell you are doing though, when its winter,pitch black and raining.

I find my body reacts much worse to early morning exercise. Much better in the evening having had a full day for my limbs and joints to wake up.

Couple of suggestions to increase the healthy aspect of your meals (possibly already given, long topic and such). Use whole-weat pasta, instead of regular. I would steam the fish with the vegetables; equally tasty and it's less work to prepare. Butter high calorie value. Try to cook with as little fats as possible/avoid them (but not completely cause your body needs fats). Cause at the moment you're still losing weight quite easily, but it's bound to get harder at some point in time.
Honestly I think if you were a bit more strict about your diet you could skip the exercise if you just made some small incremental changes to your life; like use your bicycle to get to work, walk to places ...
Very good of you to prepare home-made salads.

well.......
the fish will be microwaved haha but its only 150 cals per fish. Not quite using fresh fish just yet although we oven cook it in its own juices when we do pick it up.
As for the pasta, i'll probably pick some of that up when i get paid yeah cheers. the pasta i did get was 29p so wasn't shopping for anything other than cheap haha
I think overall i am trying not to punish myself though. Seems there is always a cut back or alternative and what not to eat etc and im trying to move away from that. for arguments sake i avoid jacket potatoes for lunch, simply because someone told me it was full of carbs. Yet someone else eating a potato for lunch would be seen as eating healthy? lol
Just generally i am trying to refine what i'm doing, im not eating or drinking stuff i shouldn't and not loading up on fast food or even cooking out the freezer hardly these days including easy quick meals so even if i only drop to about 2 pounds off a week as it stands, still steady progress until december (the new target). Hell only thing that gets microwaved in my diet is the veg or the porridge. I just don't want to make myself hate what i'm doing if that makes sense. Eating the fish and lettuce today it was crap i'll admit. but least i can go home and have the fish in butter sauce. Its not A1 perfect being frozen and microwave cooked but its still better than alternatives and it means i can still enjoy things as a result
