I have to admit, if Pols wins on Friday, I think I will be beering!
you could always switch to half pints.........
Just means you'll be at the bar twice as often as everyone else, cardio right there.
I figure that I am doing this over a long time as I should be looking at losing nearly 30kgs in a healthy way so it is going to take ages. I need to make sure that I enjoy the events that happen and be good unless there is reason not to be
I turn 40 early next month and am strongly considering dropping the booze for the rest of the year (after the party of course). It helps that our little office has decided to have a weight-shredding competition in May, followed by a press-up competition in June (aka June-Up) where, last year, the winner completed 9700 press-ups in the month of June.
If that's not a kick-start, I don't know what is. Currently sitting at 6ft & 98kg & could definitely do with some off the waistline.
I've met you ( albeit at the pub many years ago )......
have you been going to the same measuring place as Ardie Savea ?

A good start to the week. Haven't strayed off the diet.
Last night was my first concern as true-love wanted a salmon dish that had cream in it. I cooked it and it was yum but was kind of disappointed I had cream.
Anyhoooo Weigh in days are today (Thursdays) and Mondays. Thursday to remind myself not to slip too much on the weekend and Monday to see if I was a tool over the weekend.
I do realise in the first week will be the greatest gains but from last Saturday Morning's weight of 131.9kg, (I only started the regime on Monday) I have lost 2.8kg.
New weight 129.1kg Yay!

@Hooroo I think giving yourself a bit of flexibility around the odd rich dish etc is all good. Can motivate you to be stricter with the rest of your eating, at least in my experience. Hell, just eating less of exactly the same sorts of kai will see your weight drop (as JK mentioned), so don't beat yourself up for the odd treat.
Wouldn't be surprised if you see a good 1.5-2kg going a week for the first month. The bigger dip in the first week can involve a lot of water if your diet has been high in carbs/sodium?? lol I'm sure I've read that somewhere! bringing in a bit of bro-science for ya!
Great progress bro!

I'm sure you're right as even after a couple of days, I felt less bloated (Didn't realise I was feeling bloated before I started, if you get what I mean)

@Hooroo ha ha I know EXACTLY what you mean
Really hope you manage to catch the exercise bug too - can be tricky to find something that appeals and fits within lifestyle. Have you ever been much of a gym bunny? or has it more been about particular sports etc?

Joined the Gym last night and will start up next week.
I used to gym very regularly and see a PT. This time I want the gym to help get fit but also focus purely on improving my golf again

Well done!!!! Great job

Still yet to have a carb but had an issue today in Rotorua.
Went out to get a salad and couldn't find one carb or dressing free so ended up just buying some baked chicken.
I am trying to eat healthy and not just stick to meat. I have been having protein one meal a day so far but today it will be two meals.
Had a Broccoli, Pea and runner bean salad yesterday and it was really nice. Hooroo two weeks ago wouldn't have dreamt he would ever say such a thing.

I had beer and champagne tonight because of the horse winning.
That’s all good though as I want to be able to enjoy a celebration
In saying that, I made sure I had no carbs tonight.

Hmmm. All I will say is that you are consuming the right sort of carbs.
In my opinion.

OK so I weighed in on Monday and I am back up to 130.2 so 1.1kg effect over the weekend.
That's ok though as I will celebrate wins.
Monday was a bad day too in terms of diet as played ambrose tournament with @JK and there was booze and naughty food everywhere for this fat man!
Back on the wagon now though

Obviously the scales are a good way of measuring progression but I feel there's a bit too much of an attention on that. The most important thing should be getting the right balance in terms of exercise, diet and enjoyment. Get a plan in place then ignore the scales for a while. Will get a bit manic checking them all the time and that's not helpful.

You are right about that. I decided this morning that I am reverting to Thursday weigh in day only!
