Could we have some "during" shots as well ie a weekly weigh in - very amusing!
Liam, suggest you watch "Supersize Me".

weeeeeeell....

moving more food earlier in the day has made an obvious difference to my ability to eat it in the morning... cutting carbs out of dinner means i can actually get through the eggs and porridge in the morning.

it's not too bad having the porridge without sugar, i biff some raisins in sometimes but they go soggy pretty quick and thats yuck so generally i eat them at the same time but not IN the porridge now... prunes are great.

i do wake up late and get to work about 8:30-9, so will be eating brekkie 9:15 or so... i grab an up-and-go and water on the way out of the house and have it in the car, hopefully that doesnt stuff things up.

brown rice no big issue.

i do find i have to not think about rubbish foods... i am no fast food junkie, i never normally have cravings for rubbish unless i'm hungover, but i had some cravings for mcdonalds today, that was pretty weird.

theres something here called one-square-meal that claims to have tonnes of carbs and low-GI, it's basically a big snack-biscuit, just wondering what stuff i can stick in to snack in those morning tea times when porridge will make me biff up... which i can see coming in a couple of weeks maybe.

um, apart from that.... oh yeah, if i have a late pool session, and will be having dinner afterwards, i'm assuming putting a few carbs back in with dinner is ok? or should i just stick to meat and veg etc.

how are you going alex?

The cravings are probably for sugar and salt. And all of the other good tasting rubbish in Mac D's

I don't get the Up & Go bit? What do you mean? Do you actually wke up that late in the mornings? Because if you do - you would benefit from a change there.

Instead of porridge, try Rice Porridge if you like it.

ok i'll ty to get up earlier cos yep, i do normally.... well. i might wake up at 7:30 and actually get out of bed at 8 or a little past.

up and go is just like a little milk drink that claims to have a dose of carbs in it that they sell as a breakfast alternative here.... i have a few in the cupboard still but they're nearly all gone... i'm assuming, now that i think about it, to not eat em cos i think they would surely have quite a bit of sugar in them.

i kinda hate weighing myself every day so i'll do it at the end of the week, otherwise every now and then i see my weight go down and it affects my motivation...

there's up and go over here as well

asif you havn't heard of it carl

I heard one guy explain that he was short for his weight range, not overweight. This should make an interestng challenge though. What is the penalty for losing?

Sounds counter productive to your goals - have a think about it Liam, you know better IMO.

How many hours are you sleeping? That wake up time (IMO) is not great for you.
Any logical reason as to why?
