Thats pretty much a normal day eating wise and exercise wise (except the nookie lol)

5 kg in amonth or so lost, my plan is when i get to 100 kg (hopefully by the end of august (a weeks holls will ruin the normal flow, even though i will eat as well as i can theres noway im ruining my holiday for the sake of a diet) Chippy by the sea front can be worked off lol

anyway when im down to 100kg i plan on joining the gym or maybe investing in more advanced home equipment ....

Wow hun - sounds like you've got you're healthy eating head on - and exercise too!! (if you want any tips on exercise talk to Irnbru - shes the queen of the gym and Wonderwoman is queen of Davina!!)

Anyhow - good luck - my tip for today is ....................treat everyday as a new day - if you muck up today you can always start again tomorrow - may sound daft but works for me!!!

Haha Queen of Davina I love my new title, thanks Stell

Welcome Thumbandit.

that looks to be spot on food wise - you have a good healthy balance of food groups Wonderwoman pointed me in the direction of foodfocus.co.uk its a great site to check that you are getting the protein/cards/fat mix right and offsets your exercise against your calorie intake.(although it may not have nookie on as an exercise type lol)

I take it you don't do weights every day? - as you increase the weights you need to give your muscles a rest day - the weights makes your calorie intake burn at a higher rate for up to 48 hours so a rest day from the weights doesnt mean that its not still working - I tend to alternate cardio days and resistance days to fool the body a bit as it can get used to it quite quickly and then its not as effective if you don't have an element of variety.

of course you may be totally aware of all this, don't mean to come across as patronising, I have found out loads by trial and error and more than happy to share if it stops someone make some of the silly mistakes i have made before it all clicked into place.

thanks for the advice
