The Biggest Loser (wasn't me)

So The Biggest Loser diet is officially over. Final weigh in was last Friday and the results were very good.

Various stats:
Overall I came 7th (out of 15).
I lost 13 lbs or 7.11% of my body weight.
To win I would have had to lose a further 6 lbs.
The winner lost 10.48% and second place lost 27 lbs!

All in all I was very pleased. Near enough one stone gone, now for the next stone to go. The whisper at the office is that Round 2 begins after Easter. Sounds like a plan to me.

Now where did I put those Easter Eggs?!

Four Days and Counting

Seems crazy to think the best part of 3 months has passed and the Biggest Loser diet competition is drawing to an "exciting" conclusion.

I say exciting, or is it more of a damp squib? What a squib is I have no idea. And should it have two b's? Squibb or squib?!

Anyway, after a hugely enjoyable and terribly unhealthy weekend we are back on the straight and narrow. My calorific intake meant that I wasn't hungry til lunchtime today! While I ate my tuna sarnie, grapes and orange juice I went for a half hour walk in the sunshine. Lovelyjubbly!

Hopefully we'll "finish" strong in the competition as opposed to letting ourself down.

My new desk neighbour, although technically I'm his new neighbour mentioned his hope that the progress of the last few months would continue. I suggested we could not only be desk buddies but diet buddies too! What larks. Although in seriousness I do feel that the regime that I have "imposed" upon myself is sustainable. I just hope that a few more lbs fall off between now and Friday!

I think we are on track

Today was the penultimate weigh in and the prognosis was good!

I have lost half a stone since beginning this diet (biggest loser) "competition" in January. Am thoroughly chuffed. I'm now down to 13 and a half stone. Heading in the right direction. Hopefully will lose a fair few more pounds over the next two and a half weeks. Final weigh in is the end of the month.

The bottom line though is that this diet has helped to implement an eating regime which is sustainable and not going to depress me! Okay, the lack of snacking can be hard at times but now it's "slipping" once or twice a week rather once or twice a day! And that is something I can live with.

And I shall celebrate all of this by cooking dinner for my gorgeous wife!
