managed just over five pounds on my second weigh in which takes my loss to just over a stone in two weeks! very happy, think this is where the hard work starts but a stone lighter means exercise is now easier so that will be stepped up somewhat, walking, cycling and swimming also got the weight bench out so i can jump on several times a day for short bursts.
still need to keep a tight rein on food intake, i have had zero sugar, alcohol,bread and cut down drastically on salt, one thing i am learning is the hunger pangs are all in the head, when they strike either tough it out or do something to take your mind off it they soon pass, it is still very hard work watching "saturday kitchen" without drooling as i still love good tasty food!!!!
