I had a lovely roast pork dinner last night, with all the trimmings, extra crackling. Sticky toffee pudding and ice cream (2 large scoops) washed down with a few bottles of becks.. Just saying

I"ve just discovered how very little cereal is involved in a 30g "portion".  I fed my kids more than this when they were babies ffs!  What conning sadist determined the amount in a "portion"?!  He and I are gonna have issues.  Cereal is now off the list.  Not enough to feel full and not worth the calories for being hungry after.

Yesterday"s calorie intake was 1,142 and Archie"s getting LOTS of walks.  lol

[Laxie]

Barring a disaster, today"s calorie count is....1,195.  Keeping within the 1,200 all the time.  Except that Jack has just informed me his daily intake is around 1,000 a day.  Marv.

On the plus side, I walk the dog two to three times a day for a minimum of 30 minutes each time.  He"ll be lucky to get in one walk a day during the work week and try to cram the lot into the week-end.  I"ll be joining him obv.

Thanks to all you darlins for posting comments and pics of lovely food on my Facebook wall.  I WILL NOT BREAK!!!  lol

That"s the latest from my point of view.  Over to Jack.......

CRUSH HER JACK!!! DESTROY!

[technolog]

Easy.

Obviously the first few days of a diet are going to be easy for both of us. I know I have the determination to carry on, I"m not sure about Dawn but I"m pretty sure she does too. I think my big advantage is being at work all day and keeping busy. Dawn might struggle being at home and surrounded by (albeit less calorific than normal) temptation.

I"m fully expecting her to have a massive weight loss this week but we"ll see where we"re at after 2 or 3 weeks. I ought to be eating more than 1,000 calories a day but it"ll help the weight loss for a week or two. After that I"m likely to go into starvation mode and my metabolism will slow right down. At that point I need to up the calories and the weight loss should re-start.

If it"s looking dodgy near the end, I"ve always got the fast up my sleeve. I"ve done 3 days without eating a scrap previously (just for fun) and reckon I could do a week without too much trouble.

Should be an interesting few weeks

[AAroddersAA]

Jack, what do you actually do in work? Is it fairly active or do you work mainly sat down?

Just thinking if Dawn is able to get in 3 walks per day with Archie (who must think all this is a great idea) that is likely to be a bigger advantage than being in work, although it will be easier to stick to a diet in work I would think.

I"m office-based and it"s pretty sedentary I"m afraid. I"ve always got the option to march round the 4 mile local loop, that"ll be good for 600-800 calories. My record for the 3.85 miles was 48 minutes when I lost weight before. I remember overtaking a couple of joggers on one occasion

[Laxie]

I can clear 600 - 800 calories a day just doing that walk?!  Hmmmmm

[Supernova]

gl both! as I love the pair of you I"m going to stay neutral on this xx

Sharon I found a great fence for ya :-)

Obv I hope Dawn and Jack are both super successful but that Dawn is 1lb better at the final weigh in. Reckon Jack will do well as a Munster fan anyway. He can drink Guinness and sing song with the best of "em.

Here you go Jack to help you prepare to support your new team
