Shiv - Well done you posting there!! And yes, I definitely can see a difference! From the side view, you must have lost inches off bum and tum.

Can't wait to post my 25lb loss - I only have four pounds to go! I wish I'd taken a starting pic. We only have one full length mirror in the house and it's in the bathroom above the sink. I have to stand on the toilet to take the pic. No excuse though!

Thanks very much! That's what i was hoping to get rid of The before picture is a big challenge, mentally!! I was very shocked when I saw mine. At least I can say I'll never be there again

I can't wait to see yours too! Give the match all you've got today (and of course, enjoy! )

Thanks Trish! Hopefully soon I'll look even better... I've crept up, the past few days, 196, 197, 198, 200! I'm not eating more, have been logging in MFP out of curiosity. Weirdly enough, I've been eating between 700-1400 cals a day! That was a shock. I didn't realise it went so low, I've not really been that hungry, and I'm definitely not starving myself. Have you ever done this? You know, just experimented with finding out trends in what your body's telling you to eat? It's certainly been enlightening for me... For now, my scale just doesn't seem to want to move the needle beyond the 14 stone marker! It's really quite annoying but I guess I gotta wait it out.

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. I only played rugby for about 5 minutes (two scrums and a lineout, so lots of work for me). But I drank like I won the world cup. (We lost, btw)

I lost over a kilo overnight. Mostly from the diuretic effect of alcohol and puking my guts up all night. But it all came back - and as of this morning I'm only down .1kg for the week. Believe it or not that's not so bad. I'm still only 5 lbs from goal - and that had a deadline of 15 April.

On the upside I went for a hangover inspired fry-up and although I ate poorly, I didn't overeat.

I went for a run this morning and I'm still hungover, but I did it!! My son is off school this week for half-term and we've got an action packed day. Swimming with the boy and a tag rugby course tonight! I don't count this as exercise, but as physical activity. I believe that fun physical activity is the key to keeping the weight off.
