It didn't work out
Last update in October '06? Oh, dear...
Well, I pretty much gave up.
No excuses; I got lazy and I stopped watching what I ate. I have piled all the weight I lost back on, and probably quite a bit more too.
Still; new beginnings!
As of yesterday, I'm back in the mood to sort it out! This time I'm taking part in a competition with other people in the office who need/would like to lose some pounds. £10 each into the kitty and the person who loses the most weight (as a percentage of their start weight) wins the lot.
I also have a side bet with another chap: The person who looses the least weight (percentage again) donates £100 to the British Heart Foundation.
I need the incentive of this challenge, I also need the motivation I'm getting by having all my peers know how much I weigh (296lbs fully clothed and after a "last megga breakfast" with the team).
So far this morning I've had scrambled eggs on toast, I'm about to burn some calories doing housework before going out for a bike-ride (possibly to the shops to stock up on healthy foodstuffs)
