Last week I was hoping to hit that 50 lb target, but as luck would have it I went and put a pound on.
This week however I have lost 5lbs and I have now just passed the 50 lb mark, role on 75 lbs that's my next target.
Back in March of this year I tipped the scales at 29 st 2.5 lbs that was March 31st, this morning I weighed in at 25 st 8.5 lbs, so a loss of 51 lbs so far and that amount lost in 7.5 months.

Pete57 you are fantastic. . What are your top tips?

What's my secret you ask, to be honest I don't really know myself I just seem to have tripped over something that works for me.
I have made some small changes to what I was having before, like changing my bread to medium as apposed to thick, instead of 4 weetabix for breakfast I have 2, less weetabix also means less milk, I also use about a 1/8 teaspoon of sugar on my weetabix.
I have no more than 2 coffee's on a normal day, I used to drink tonic water a lot now I drink flavoured water instead. These days I have a hot meal in the evening, normally pork, chicken or fish but whatever is on my plate I also load the plate with vegetables I have found a new love for steamed vegetables this also saves power too as I'm suddenly using one pan to cook everything instead of a pan for the potatoes, another for the carrots, another for the cauliflower, another for the celery or whatever I want.
I've also found a love for steamed celery, folks out there that only use celery in salads your really missing out on a great tasting vegetable.
I also think my medication plays a part too I have to take 3 water pills a day, like so many on here I am also disabled so I'm limited to what I can and can't do my idea of excercise these days is watching it on TV as my Doctor would have a blue fit if I did anything other than walking and as both knee's are shot that also means crutches these days just to complicate matters. Like others here I am just too heavy for the hospital to consider for any operations so the weight has to go if my knee's are to be sorted out and that's only for starters . But that as they say is another story.
Challenge complete😊
Hit the big 5 0 (lbs) week 28
