30lbs gone

[pools_mib]

currently on week 11?? i think and weighed myself when i was home last week on holiday from work and ive lost 30lbs!!!!

i have cheated maybe a couple of days but have always got back on the plan and am thrilled with the results.

my dad is maybe a critic of mine because the weight stopped me from being a good footballer but he was delighted with my weight loss along with my wife and even my next door neighbour said" dont lose anymore" but i think a stone or half a stone will be ideal for me

thanks

congrats mike!

Did you weigh yourself during that 11 weeks at all? or was the 30 pounds a big surprise?

thanks for the replies!!


i only weighed myself every 5 weeks when i went home for 1 week on leave from work. the first 5 weeks id lost 20lbs then the next 5 weeks i lost the other 10.

it was a surprise although i new id lost a bit because my clothes where very loose compared to what they used to be and shirts that where really tight at xmas are now too big.

i went clothes shopping with my wife when i went home and have bought xl shirts instead of the usual xxl or even sometimes xxxl. the thing is i looked in the mirror and didnt think i looked that big or if i saw a large person in the street i would say "im not as big as him!!" but obviously i didnt want to believe that i had put loads of weight.

hopefully i can keep going and not let the odd slipup put me off too much.

thanks

A stone is about 14 pounds I think

thanks for the replies.


the thing is i have the odd couple of days where i eat what i want but it makes me feel so ill eating what i used too pizza, curries etc. so it just makes me go back to the plan. i eat alot of diced chicken with vegetables and i experiment with different spices just to make it abit more interesting.

i also drink mainly water these days and try to drink as much as i can , it used to be diet coke but even that now tastes to me like the real thing so i tend not too have too much.

thanks
